Rule Book

All sanctioned Big Rim Pioneers events will be 1⁄4 mile heads up racing. Races will utilize a .400 pro tree for the start. Red lights will count, and crossing over the centerline is an automatic disqualification. The scoreboards WILL NOT display ET or MPH, but racers will receive a time slip for their run. Time slips will be cut in half; therefore, racers will only receive the printout for their performance, not their opponent. All racers will follow NHRA &IHRA safety specifications.
