WHO CAN RACE??

Any child 8 to 17 years old. Juniors may compete through the calendar year of their 18th birthday, provided they are in competition between Jan 1 and their birthday. All competitors must make 6 passes to obtain or upgrade IHRA license. A photocopy of every competitors birth certificate must accompany all license applications along with an original parental consent agreement and original release and waiver of liability.

RULE:

NO Jr. Dragster will be allowed to be on the track until there is someone on the top end of the track to direct them off. The requirement is that when your jr is on the track one spotter(parent, helper,etc) needs to stay on the starting line to ensure your car is off safely. Also Jr drivers I request that no matter who it is on the top end of the track you obey them and respect them the same as you do DJ. Thunder Valley Dragways is taking these steps to ensure the safety of all drivers.

Entry Fee $30 for Car & Driver.

IHRA Rules Apply.

2012 JUNIOR DRAGSTER SUMMIT SUPERSERIES RULES AND REGULATIONS

 

How it works...
Step #1:
• Join the IHRA Summit SuperSeries ($40) which includes IHRA membership benefits, Summit SuperSeries license then request a special registration number (commonly called the X Number).  The last digit of the number will be the letter X.  This competition membership will allow you to participate in the Summit SuperSeries at your home track. Only IHRA can issue these numbers.  

• If you have a full membership in IHRA that will be current through the 2012 season already, simply call and register for your competition or X number for free.

Step #2
• Sign up for the track points at your participating IHRA Summit SuperSeries track.

Step #3
• Race at your local IHRA track while running your Summit SuperSeries X number.  Your Summit SuperSeries eligibility does not begin until you register with IHRA AND run the X number as your car number at your home track.  Your X number must show up on your home track points page all year long.  Failure to run the X number on your car will make you ineligible for the Summit SuperSeries even if you have a registered X number on file with IHRA.

Step #4
• Become the Junior Dragster Summit SuperSeries Champion as determined by your track (see your home track for details on the method they use to determine the championship as each track may be different).   You will then get to run off at your team finals for the right to go to the Summit SuperSeries National Championships at the World Finals in 2012.

 

SUMMIT JUNIOR DRAGSTER WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP RULES

·           “Gifted Rounds” are not permitted.  Racers receiving “dives” or “gifted” rounds (as determined by IHRA and in its sole discretion), will be disqualified.

·          The race for the Summit Junior Dragster World Championship will be run on a 1/8 mile format. 

·          The competitors will be run on a sportsman ladder generated based on reaction time from the final qualifying run. If there is a bye run it will go to the best reaction time of that final qualifying run. Lane choice for all rounds is based upon reaction time.

·          A racer may compete for the Summit SuperSeries junior dragster track championship at more than one track. 

·          Should one racer win the SSS junior dragster championship at two different tracks, they will have to declare the track he will represent prior to the team finals.  The racer may not double enter the SSS run-off at the same team finals or Championship runoff.

·          Tie breakers are determined by each track’s points system.

·          For the tracks that do not participate in the Summit Team Finals their track champion’s name will go in lotto with one name being drawn for the “At Large” position.  If that person cannot attend, a second name will be drawn.  We will keep drawing names until a participant can be found to represent these “At Large’” tracks.   

·           You go and Summit pays the tow! Summit Racing will award $750 to the 16 qualifiers in each class to help pay for the trip to the IHRA World Finals. Tow money will be added to event payout. Racer must compete at event to receive tow money.

·          World Finals payout will be; Winner $6,000, Runner Up $4,000, Semi-finals $2,000, Quarter-finals $1,000 

·          The track may not substitute a racer in the SSS run off in the event the SSS track champion cannot attend.

 

 

That’s all there is to it!  We’ve even got a section of the IHRA website devoted to this program.  You can read the details, track your points and see how your score compares to all the other participants in the program.  Click on www.ihra.com/superseries/points/ to check it out.
