Rev ‘03’ 2009

1) We expect to have definite time-slots allocated for our runs. Teams need
  to have inspected their cars and warmed up, so they are ready to make
  the call to the staging area. If you miss the call you do not make that
  Round.

2) The running order will be allocated and you are required to co-ordinate
  and synchronise your performance with your opponent, in respect of
  fire-up, burnout and staging.

3) If a pair of cars wish to undertake two burnouts, subject to approval by
  the Race Director, you are required to agree this together, so that both
  cars produce side–by-side displays.

4) On the basis that we are putting on a ‘show’ to establish the credibility
  of the NFAA, cars need to fire-up together and pull to the start area
  together. Drivers should then visually check the status of their
  opponent and co-ordinate their burnouts, such that both cars perform
  side-by-side.

5) Drivers should light the pre-stage bulb only, until both cars are in
  pre-stage. Failure to observe this procedure could be grounds for
  discounting the results of that run.

6) The burnout procedure is to fire-up and burnout side-by-side:
  Normal reverse back.
  2nd burnout if allowed and agreed.
  Normal reverse back.
  From this point, note the following differences:
  No person shall stand in front of the car as the vehicle should do three
  ‘chirps’ and a test launch.
  Normal reverse back.
  One ‘chirp’.
  Stage and go.

7) Ensure that you monitor the engine temperatures and have enough fuel
  to cover the above plus a full pass – we do not want motors ‘leaning out’
  at ¾ track !

8) All participating cars are required to be presentable in appearance at
  all times. Vehicles not meeting this requirement may be excluded from
  running. Cars must be pitted with the front facing the spectators.

9) All participating crews shall be fully attired in matching outfits, at all
  times when in the staging, start-line or competition areas of the
  racetrack.

10) When the run is complete all cars are required to clear the track
  quickly and to pull up the return road, so as not to impede the progress
  of the next teams.

11) All sponsors and NFAA decals to be affixed in visible positions
  on both sides of the car.

 12) All teams are required to inform the NFAA if you can, or cannot, make
  the race meeting as soon as possible and not later than 7 days prior
  to the event, as these details have to be provided to the Race
  Organisers.

 13) If you ‘red-light’, your time will stand for Qualifications, but not if an
Elimination format is being run and runner-up points apply. The other car
  takes the ‘win’ points. If both cars ‘red light’, the ‘first or worst’ rule
  applies.

 14) If you cannot run in your designated pairing slot, but can run later in the
  session, you will only be awarded runner-up points.

 15) Alternates in semis or finals are only awarded runner-up points.

 16) On all matters apart from safety, the promoters decision is final.
