Mopar Challenge Series Rules

1.   All track rules and/or NHRA rules apply at all races NO EXCEPTIONS!

2.   All vehicles must be Mopar powered.

3.   Entry fee of $25.00 per race must be paid 1/2 hour before the start of the 1st round of eliminations.  NO EXCEPTIONS!  We cannot stress this enough!  All funds received will go to race purse, to be held by the club treasurer.  1st, 2nd, and 3rd place payouts will be awarded at the conclusion of the race (100 percent payout).

4.   A drivers meeting will be held no later than 15 minutes before the start of round 1 in the front of the pre-stage lanes.

5.   Points will be gathered by the race coordinator at the 4 designated races.  Any ties will be run off at the 4th race.  Final point winners for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place series champions will be awarded trophies at annual end-of-the-year club banquet.

Points will be accumulated as follows:  10 points per round won.  10 points will also be given to each participant who completes a pass (win or lose) in the 1st round.  At each race, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners will receive extra points:  1st - 3 extra, 2nd - 2 extra, and 3rd - 1 extra point.

6.   An optional 1st round buy back will be available at the Mopar Muscle Club of NM sign up desk.  Buy backs are $10.00 and must be paid no later than 15 minutes after completion of the 1st round.  If there are 32 or more cars in the race, buy backs will not be offered.  Buy backs will race each other only in the 2nd round of eliminations.  Buy backs will draw another card and, in the event of an odd number of cars, high card will determine bi-run.

7.   Drivers must check their dial in on the track board BEFORE staging.  Once you stage, if your dial-in is incorrect, you’ve accepted the dial-in and it will stand.

8.   When all the track lights are on, all racing vehicles must have headlights and taillights turned on.  If they do not, it will be an automatic DQ.  NO EXCEPTIONS!

9.   Bi-runs will be decided by playing cards drawn at entry.  Individuals drawing an ace will automatically redraw a 2nd card in case of a tie.  Bi-runs thereafter will be determined by the closest to the dial in.  Each driver is eligible for one bi-run only at each race.

10. All cars entered in race, place an “MC” on your window before your car number.

11. Mopar Muscle Club of NM will award club members at the conclusion of the race, $10.00 for closest to the dial-in during eliminations and $10.00 for best reaction time during eliminations (must show time-slip).  Club membership is available at registration desk.

12. All decisions of the racing committee and/or track personnel will be final.  Committee will follow all track rules and the NHRA rulebook will be used to settle issues.  Please present all issues to your Race Committee.
2007 Race Committee members are: Chris Johnson, Paul Van Ostrand, James McLoughlin, Christine Eckstein, and Glen Myers.

13. In the case of a situation at the track that stops the racing, we will wait for an hour before calling our race. Entry fees will either be reimbursed or held over for the next race or rescheduled race.

If you have any questions or concerns, (a) see rule #1, (b) talk to your race committee....but.....the race committee follows rule #1.
