General Rules:

1.  Helmet.  Required.

2.  Long Pants.  Required.

3.  Seat Belts.  Required.

4.  SFI Rated Jacket.  Recommended in all classes.  See IHRA Rule book.  Motorcycle riders must wear leather jacket and gloves.

5.  Absolutely no burnouts in the pits or on the return road.

6.  Anyone riding a mini-bike, ATV, four wheeler, or EVEN A BICYCLE in the pits must have a valid driver's license!  Parents, please keep the kids off the vehicles in the pits.  Also, the only reason for such vehicles in the pits is in support of a racing team.  Racers, you are responsible for anyone operating your pit vehicle.  The racer's competition number of the racing vehicle MUST be clearly displayed on the pit vehicle.

7.  No glass bottles or containers of any kind allowed anywhere on the track.  No alcohol permitted in the staging lanes or on the starting line.  Alcohol may not be consumed by any driver or crew member during competition.

8.  Do not block the entrance to staging lanes, any return roads or return road turn-offs.

9.  Always stay with your car while in the staging lanes.

10.  Lane Choice.  There are eight lanes in staging.  Lanes 1 - 3 - 5 will run in the right lane and lanes 2 - 4 - 6 will run in the left lane.  Lanes 7 - 8 are reserved for Jr. Dragsters.  When pulling into staging determine which lane you wish to run in.  Once you have pulled into a lane and stopped you will not be allowed to switch lanes and will be paired against whomever is in the lane opposite you.  In the event we have more cars in one lane than the other then the  lane choice will be determine by high-card draw.  During test-n-tune sessions, lane 6 will be kept open for cars displaying Track Permanent number on their windshields.

11.  Write your dial-in CLEARLY and DARK on the right front windshield, driver's side window, and the left rear window of your car so tower personnel can see it and enter your time into the computer correctly.

12.  No across-the-start line burnouts during regular test-n-tune or bracket racing events except for dragsters or roadsters that don't have front brakes.  

13. During a bracket race, confirm your dial-in on the scoreboard before you stage.  Once staged, you except the dial-in on the board.

14.  When pulling to the starting line, you should only light your pre-staged bulb then wait for your opponent in the other lane to light his pre-staged bulb.  Once both pre-staged bulbs are illuminated then either driver may pull in first and illuminate their staged light.

15. Greer Dragway uses a Chrondek Automatic Start timing system.  Here's how it works: when the system sees both cars pre-staged and ONE of the cars staged, it starts a 15-second timer. If the second car does not enter the staging beams within 15 seconds, a redlight is activated for that car. This redlight will NOT be negotiated!  Remember, the system needs to see three lights before it starts the timer--two pre-stages and a stage. Don't try to burn down your opponent!
