2010 Outlaw Drag Radial (Preliminary Rules)

[Jason Miller]

I have decided to post a "Preliminary Set of Rules" for everyone to view and give their thoughts. I will set the rules in stone on November 13, 2009. I hope everyone can see that the class has been tweaked over the years to allow racers to race at other venues other than just MIR and that requires adjustments.

Also what is everyone's thoughts on changing to race one Friday night a month, instead of twice a month?

************************************************

2010 Outlaw Drag Radial Rules

FORMAT:This is an 1/8 mile heads-up class run on a .400 pro tree with a pro ladder. Outlaw Drag Radial is a qualified quick 8 field. There will also be another class called “The Shootout” for qualifiers #9-16, and it will be run on a pro ladder. This allows non-qualifiers to compete for additional points and a place to race.

RULE REVISIONS & CHANGES

In order to maintain the most level playing field possible, MIR will constantly monitor the performance numbers of the numerous combinations in this class. From time to time, it may be necessary to adjust minimum weights to help promote class parity. These changes will be made if a particular combination is deemed too dominant. Racers should take this into consideration whenever they are constructing their cars. Also MIR reserves the right to change Outlaw Drag Radial back to 1/4 mile at any time during the season, with one week’s notice. Any rule revisions deemed necessary by MIR will be officially posted on www.mirdrag.com before the event in which they become effective. Be sure to check the website often for changes throughout the year.

General: Entry points, qualifying points, and elimination points are totaled per event for the driver. If a qualified driver is broke before eliminations; the driver will receive entry points, qualifying points, and first round loser points. Alternates will not be used during eliminations.

Tie Breakers: In the event of a tie in points at the end of the year, the tie will be broken by 1) driver winning most races, 2) driver entering most races, 3) highest qualifier at the final points race.

Dropped Races: Each drivers lowest points race of the season will be dropped. This is put in place to help a racer that may have missed a race or had not done well in a race.

Discrepancy: It is the driver’s responsibility to calculate his or her own points. In case of a discrepancy, you must email a notification letter within 15 days to jmiller@mirdrag.com after the points are posted. If notification is not received the points will stand as they are.

If you go to once a month will the purse be doubled on those nights?

X2 on the purse.



Rules look good... except that ladder bar rule, but definitely understand where you are coming from. Should be another good year!

[outlaw05]

mabey you could give some of it to the shootout winners, it might draw more of the guys that cant run with the faster cars.

[Jason Miller]

I cannot afford to double the purse guys. I can barely afford to pay the purse now with the class being run on the 1/8 mile.

[Jason Miller]

And we will not pay more to the shootout winner, and have people sandbag to win that class. It wouldnt be fair for a #9 qualifier to win the shootout and get more money than the #8 qualifier who loses first round. That would be backwards.
