NHRA Jr. Drag Racing League Rules and Race Procedures 2022 Participant: The term “participant” shall include officials, any person or entity possessing or who has been issued a credential, and any person or entity directly or indirectly associated with any vehicle that has been permitted to enter an event site for the purpose of participation in an event, including, but not limited to, owners, drivers, crewpersons, parents, and legal guardians. The term “participant” shall include any person or entity that has any ownership interest in a race team, vehicle, or otherwise. As to any entity, the term “participant” shall include each of the entity’s owners, principals, agents, parents, subsidiaries, divisions, partners, affiliates and other related persons or entities. NHRA may require at any time and from time to time that verified information regarding team and/or vehicle ownership, crewmembers and other information be supplied. For any racer under the age of 18, both the racer and his or her parent or guardian are a “participant” and are bound by all provisions of this Rulebook, and in any administrative or disciplinary process, the parent and/or legal guardian shall participate in administrative or disciplinary process and be responsible for any penalty, fine or other matter in connection therewith. Participant Conduct: Participants at events are expected, at all times, to conduct themselves in a professional and nondisruptive manner consistent with good sportsmanship and NHRA’s role as a family-oriented sports organization with events suitable for attendance by all and, as to those events that are televised, suitable for unrestricted viewing by the general public. Any participant who, in the sole and absolute judgment of NHRA (1) verbally or physically threatens another person; (2) uses vulgar or derogatory language; (3) engages in unsportsmanlike conduct; (4) engages in conduct detrimental to the sport of racing; (5) otherwise creates a condition or circumstance that is unsafe, unfair, or out of order; or (6) otherwise violates any NHRA rule, regulation or agreement, shall have violated this rule regarding participant conduct. Any participant who NHRA believes to have a conflict of interest that does or may improperly affect fair competition shall be disqualified from participating to the extent necessary to avoid such conflict of interest. The scope of such a disqualification shall be determined in the sole and absolute discretion of NHRA. NHRA License and Membership: A license issued by NHRA is to be used only by the driver to whom it is assigned and it is restricted to the categories listed on the license. The license is valid until its expiration date or until revoked by NHRA. The license is intended only to signify that the driver has demonstrated basic qualifications for drag racing classes up to and including the one in which the driver has qualified. The license does not convey a right but rather conveys a revocable privilege to participate in events. A license will not be granted if the driver does not meet the then-current medical criteria set by NHRA’s medical professionals. NHRA Summit Racing Jr. Drag Racing League membership is required. Any driver or parent who falsifies, omits, or causes to be falsified or omitted pertinent information on the medical application shall be subject to denial of such application and further disciplinary action including without limitation preclusion from participation in NHRA events. All prescription medications are to be disclosed on a driver’s medical application or if subsequently prescribed after prior application approval, the participant must immediately inform the NHRA National Field Office and request approval. Certain medications preclude licensure. Specific medical clearance by NHRA’s medical professionals may be granted for selected medications and requests for clearance require the applicant’s cooperation in providing requested medical records and history. Application for a competition number after licensure has been declined on medical grounds may similarly be denied. Race Procedures: Each Jr. Dragster must complete and satisfactorily pass inspection by the Technical Services Department before being allowed to make a trial run or participate in any event conducted at an NHRA member track (this includes private test sessions). Throughout this Rulebook, a number of references are made for particular products to meet certain specifications (i.e., SFI Specs, Snell, DOT, etc.). It is important to realize that these products are manufactured to meet certain specifications, and upon completion, the manufacturer labels the product as meeting that spec. Therefore, except as outlined under SFI requirements, any change to the product voids that certification. Under no circumstances may any certified product be modified, altered, or in any way vary from the “as manufactured” condition. Such a 25 practice is in violation of the SFI, Snell, DOT, etc. program, voids such certification and therefore will not be accepted by NHRA. NOTICE: It is the responsibility of the participant, not NHRA or any track, to ensure that all safety equipment is approved and is correctly installed, worn, maintained, and used. Event Participation: In the NHRA Summit Racing Jr. Drag Racing League, one car may be shared by more than one driver. In such cases, it is the total responsibility of the participant to appear for races in a timely manner when called by race officials. A contestant cannot drive more than one Jr. Dragster in the same category at the same event. Each driver/car combination is considered a separate entry and any applicable fees must be paid for each entry. The event director has the option of permitting driver or vehicle changes. Such changes must be made prior to eliminations. 1. All previous event times are void for vehicles and drivers involved. 2. Vehicle must pass a technical and safety inspection. 3. Changes must be made and driver take time trials during the normal schedule, as posted, for the event. No changes are permitted once preevent time trial or qualifying is completed. 4. Driver must stay within original category entered and have the proper credentials to drive the replacement vehicle. 5. Only one change permitted during the course of an event. Vehicle changes for a postponed event are permitted with advance notification and approval of the event director. No such changes are allowed for races halted in progress and then completed on a subsequent date. DIAL-IN: During handicap E.T. bracket-style racing, each competitor must post his or her desired dial-in on his or her car in a manner clearly visible to the tower and available to his or her opponent. Reader boards must be attached to the car. Dial-in cannot be changed after the track-designated “ready line.” LANE CHOICE: If necessary, lane choice will be determined by a coin flip or random draw. Burnouts: All pre-race burnouts are restricted to designated areas, using water only. If a contestant’s car should break on a burnout and cannot be pushed back, it is not permitted to turn on the track and drive back to the starting line. Crossing the centerline during a burnout is not a disqualification. Fire burnouts are strictly prohibited. No person is permitted to hold or touch cars during burnouts. Staging: Once a car reaches the front of the staging lanes for a run, it must be prepared to fire and race. To be a legitimate race winner, a contestant’s car must start and self-stage. This rule also applies to single runs. Push-staging any vehicle is prohibited. Staging must be done under the vehicle’s own engine power. If a vehicle loses fire and the opponent has been sent on a single run, the vehicle losing fire may not restart and the run is forfeited. The application or use of any device, mechanical or electronic, that permits the driver to ascertain the position of his or her vehicle in relation to the starting line is prohibited. Only visual observation of track equipment may be used to ascertain the vehicle’s position. If both drivers of a race leave the line before the start system is activated, the driver leaving first is disqualified. If unable to determine who left first, 26 both drivers are disqualified. Any e.t.s posted would be void for lane choice or other consideration. A driver on a single run would advance. THE FINAL STAGING MOTION, USING APPLIED POWER, MUST BE IN A FORWARD MOTION GOING FROM PRE-STAGE TO STAGE POSITION. A reasonable amount of time will be permitted for drivers to stage. The time limit will be determined at the sole and absolute discretion of the official starter. Failure to stage upon the starter’s instructions is possible grounds for disqualification. After proper staging and receiving the starter’s signal to go, re-staging for a second time is prohibited. Any driver leaving the starting line before the start system is activated, including a driver on a single run, will have his or her time disqualified for the run. Breakout Rules: Breakout rules are enforced as follows: Contestants who race below their dial-in or posted index (subject to performance barrier rules listed under Class Designations) during eliminations are disqualified, with the following exceptions: 1. When an opponent foul starts or crosses a boundary line. 2. On a single run. 3. When both drivers run under their dial-in or indexes, the driver who is the least under is the winner. 4. If two contestants run under by the same margin (with elapsed times extended to a thousandth of a second), the driver crossing the finish line first is the winner. See individual classes for breakout limits. Single Runs: In situations where a driver is making a single run, he or she is considered the winner once he or she stages and receives the start signal. Drivers who run under elapsed time barriers outlined above are disqualified even if on a single run. Disqualifications: Discovery of any device, action, or operation not included in this Rulebook or in conflict with rules contained within this Rulebook is grounds for immediate disqualification. One of the rarities at a Jr. drag racing event is the situation in which two cars are disqualified during the same elimination race. In most cases, both offending contestants are disqualified. Those situations include both drivers crossing the boundary lines or both drivers leaving the line before the start system is activated. Should a driver receive a red-light foul start and the opposing driver cross the lane boundary line, the latter infraction would prevail, and the driver committing the foul start would be reinstated. In determining lane-boundarycrossing violations, it is considered a disqualification when any portion of a tire completely crosses the painted line surface. In cases where both opponents cross the centerline or outside line, both drivers will be disqualified. In situations where multiple boundary lines are utilized, the line directly adjacent to the competitor’s racing lane will be used for reference. Anytime it has been judged that excessive braking has resulted in the loss of control as to cause contact with the guardwall, light fixtures, or crossing the center boundary lines — INCLUDING PAST THE FINISH LINE — the contestant will be disqualified. Contact with guardwall, barriers, or any other track fixture (rubber cones, when used, are considered visual aids, not fixtures) is grounds for disqualification and/or other actions. Intentional crossing of boundary lines to leave track or avoid depositing debris on track is not grounds for disqualification. 27 Any driver and/or crewmember found to be under the influence of alcoholic beverages or drugs, regardless of amount, will be ejected from the event. Such a condition is cause for suspension, fine, and/or revocation of competition privileges. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Rulebook, participation in any program conducted by or in conjunction with NHRA is conditioned upon being in good standing with NHRA, as determined in NHRA’s sole and absolute discretion. Any person found guilty of drug-related offenses or other serious offenses is subject to such disciplinary action as NHRA shall determine appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion, including but not limited to immediate expulsion from NHRA and/or the NHRA Summit Racing Jr. Drag Racing League and a termination of good standing. Such person may be immediately excluded from all NHRA and/or NHRA Summit Racing Jr. Drag Racing League programs and may not be eligible for titles, prize money, or other awards that have not already been bestowed, as shall be determined by NHRA. Further, any annual awards that might be granted may be made contingent upon maintaining good standing with NHRA through the year following the annual award, if so determined by NHRA. Further still, any person who shall be facing prosecution for a drug-related offense or other serious offense may be granted such awards on a contingent basis and may not be eligible for annual awards of prize money unless and until he or she shall not have been found not guilty of such offenses during the year following the award of such prizes if so determined by NHRA. Weighing of Vehicle/FUEL CHECK: Under no circumstances may a competitor reject scaling his/her vehicle or fuel check. Any competitor who fails to report to post-run inspection (scales or fuel check) will be disqualified from the event and will be subject to additional disciplinary action in the sole and absolute discretion of NHRA. Use Of Safety Equipment Seat belts must be worn and adjusted in such a manner that the driver’s torso and head cannot extend outside the parameters of the roll cage. Drivers are also required to properly use safety equipment until the vehicle exits the racing surface and the vehicle is no longer moving. Seat belts, arm restraints, helmets, gloves, neck collars, and face shields must be worn until the vehicle has been shut off. Violators will be subject to disciplinary action in the sole and absolute discretion of NHRA. Logo Placement: All vehicles participating in an NHRA Summit Racing Jr. Drag Racing League event conducted by NHRA or at NHRA member tracks must prominently display the applicable logo as required (see illustration) to be eligible for competition. Logos must be properly displayed to enter an event, to pass technical inspection, and to make any runs. Logos must continue to be properly displayed at all times during the conduct of any event. Vehicle must display the NHRA Summit Racing Jr. Drag Racing League logo on both sides of the race vehicle at all times during any event. Required logo placement is acceptable in the highlighted area. Jr. Dragster Rules and Regulations: The NHRA Summit Racing Jr. Drag Racing League is a multifaceted program designed to afford youth as young as 5 years old the opportunity to drive in the League and those 6 and older the opportunity to race against their peers in near replicas of the models that the Pros drive. NHRA Jr. drag racing is restricted to competition in half-scale sized dragsters over a maximum distance of an eighth-mile. Competition is designed to be conducted on an e.t. dial-your-own format or a preset index on a heads-up breakout basis. Actual class or age-group breaks may vary from track to track. Contact your local track to see if it participates in the program and if so, for information on class structure. Each track, in its discretion, may set its own age requirements for participation (for example, a track may allow only those 8 and older to participate). Consistent with its endeavor to maintain simplicity and cost controls of the NHRA Summit Racing Jr. Drag Racing League, NHRA will continue to monitor elapsed times and speeds and may in time implement additional e.t. and speed limits. CLASS DESIGNATIONS Age requirements: Drivers may enter the NHRA Summit Racing Jr. Drag Racing League on the day of their 5th birthday in the noncompetitive Trainee category. Drivers may compete in the Jr. Drag Racing League from the day of their 6th birthday through the year of their 18th birthday. All Jr. Drag Racing League participants must submit a certified birth certificate on all new participant registration. Subsequent renewals do not require resubmission of certified birth certificate or notarized copy of birth certificate. Willfully falsifying NHRA membership and/or participation documents for any reason including avoiding age restrictions will be grounds for denial of license, suspension or revocation of license, or other action deemed appropriate by NHRA in NHRA’s sole and absolute discretion, including but not limited to exclusion from the NHRA Jr. Drag Racing League Eastern/ Western Conference Finals. Driver must be the minimum age for the Age Group class (i.e., to run in the 10-year-old class, the driver must have already celebrated his or her 10th birthday). Likewise, a driver can compete in a lower Age Group class if his or her birthday falls after Jan. 1 of the current year (i.e., a driver who turned 13 on July 1 can compete as a 12-year-old through the entire calendar year).
