• Absolutely no racing under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

• No strollers, babies or young children in staging lanes. No minors allowed.
• A staging director directs movement — no car starts or moves until directed.
• No heavy mechanical work in lanes — major repairs go back to the pit area.
• Don't leave a car unattended · no dogs · no A/C use in staging lanes.
• Worried about a pairing or your experience? Ask the director for a solo pass — welcome for new racers.
• In the lanes when staging closes = you run. Not in the lanes = you don't enter.
• Director may pair for an even race unless you request otherwise.

Only two crew at a time on the starting line. Racer wristbands do NOT allow you on the line — crewing requires a pit crew wristband. Only 2 pit crew per vehicle, strictly enforced.

• Water box and burnout optional · stop before the box and wait to be directed in.
• Never staged before? Tell the starter — he'll gladly assist.
• Past the beams? Back fully out and make your last movement forward to reset.
• No burnouts past the starting line · no burndowns — long delay and the race starts without you.
• Deep staging? "DEEP" must be legible on the front windshield.

• Problem down track? Move to the wall instantly. Possibly leaking? Do not continue.
• No stopping in the shutdown to repack a chute or wait on a tow — clear the top end.
• Night events: rear light must be red and visible from start to track exit.
• No locking brakes at the finish to make MPH/ET limits — warning, then spectator or ejection. No refunds.
• Car gets loose? Lift, correct, come back and line up — most incidents are from not lifting.
• Stay in your lane — don't cross or touch the center line. The starter's call is final.
• See a hazard? Tell the time-shack ASAP. Red emergency lights flashing? Shut down until resolved.
