Zap Racing

If U join us at LMP, U do not HAVE to run the elimination ladder--in fact U do not have to run at all. Come on out and watch all the fun! We can have all the test-n-tune runs U want to do--all the grudge matches U want to run--OUTSIDE of the "tournament", but your times are just for bragging rights! No awards will be given out for just turning in a quick time, except for "overall fastest ET".

Everybody is responsible for paying their own admission fees at the track.

A total of 7 drag strip awards/plaques will be given.

OVERALL FASTEST HOUSTON THIRDGENNER AT THE 2006 FALL BRAWL!
An award will be given for the overall fastest time turned in for the eveniing, regardless of whethe or not it is in the elimination tournament/ladder--after all this is the "Fastest Houston Thirdgenner"

All cars participating must be street legal/street driven--NO TRAILER QUEENS!

Class winners of the following classes:
11.99 and faster class
12.00 to 12.99
13.00 to 13.99
14.00 to 14.99
15.00 and slower


Fastest/best reaction time from all who participate in the double elimination ladder.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

After everybody makes a couple warm-up passes to see what kind of timesU are running, we will sign u up for whatever time class U feel is appropiate.

We will set up an elimination ladder for each time class and run a double elimination ladder. Which means if U win , U advance to the next round in the class U are in.

If U lose, U will advance to the losers ladder. After all the winners side is run until there is only one car left, that has not lost a race, all the people that HAVE lost one race will be paired up on the losers side/ladder. They will all run again until there is only one car that has only lost once.

If we have an odd # of cars in a round (3--5--7--ETC) the fastest car from the previous round get the bye run, but will be required to make a pass. If it is in the first round, where no times are available, we will draw a name from a hat, to see who gets the free pass/bye round.

Then the winner of the winner's ladder and the winner of the loser's ladder, in each time class, will run to determine who is that particular overall class winner, and a plaque will be awarded to that person.

We will have a .100 "breakout" rule to keep the sandbaggers from running in a class slower than they should be running.
EXAMPLE: If U sign up in the 14.00 to 14.99 class, and U run a 13.899 (or faster) it will be scored as a loss and U move to the losers ladder. (A 13.90 is acceptable -- NOT a loss! BUT FROWNED UPON!!!) If U run under the class minimum a second time, It will be scored as your second loss, and U are eliminated.

If U run a time faster than what the track will allow U to run, with the safety equiptment U have on your car, and can NOT make any more runs (unless it is the "final"), U will be eliminated. I do not know any other way to deal with that situation.

Please be advised, that if U run faster than 14.00 second ET's, most tracks requires U to wear a helmet! It is up to U to provide one. I'm sure u can probably borrow one from somebody else if necessary, but be prepared!
