Mason-Dixon Dragway, Hagerstown MD (1/4 mile races)

Saturday November 2nd:
Gates open: 11 am
Test and Tune: 1pm-6pm ($30 paid to track)
S/SS Race, $50 entry, Round 1: Approximately 3 or 3:30 pm
Crew/spectators: $10
For racers there who are not testing or racing, $10
Annual Racer Dinner: 7:30 pm, Crazy Horse Steakhouse and Saloon (or Western Sizzler)

Test and tune is not called up in sessions. You just go to the lanes when you want to make a pass. Traditionally, lanes 1-2 are for S/SS, 3-4 for street tire cars, 5-6 are for slick tire cars. Around 3:00 or 3:30 pm, we will call for S/SS round 1 to the lanes (they will likely empty the lanes of T-n-T cars to make room for S/SS and for Gamblers race cars, then re-open test and tune after 2nd round. Cars that lose in S/SS may continue to make test runs as long as T-n-T goes on (usually til the final of S/SS). Cars are pulled side-by-side (lane 1 runs lane 2).

S/SS race random pairing for round 1. Bye-run chosen at random. Cars laddered by reaction time for second round. Tie-breaker is closest to the dial. If still a tie, whoever did it first will receive the higher spot on the ladder (if two drivers win with an .017 light and +.021 over their dial-in, whoever did it first receives the higher spot).

Random pairing for round 1. Best reaction time during the second time trial receives the bye run. Cars laddered for round 2 based on round 1 reaction times.

All NHRA and IHRA legal S/SS cars welcome. No heads-up runs. All cars must dial the Index or quicker (using IHRA Index. SS/AA 9.95, A/SA 11.30, etc).
