Hinged deck lids, front ends or hoods may remain on car but must have all hold down fasteners removed prior to entering tech. Cars entering tech with removable body panels, fenders, engine covers or deck lids, and front ends or hoods still fastened to the car will be asked to return to their pit to remove the above mentioned items. Once the panels are removed they then may return to the end of the tech line.

1.5 Numbers: Numbers are to be displayed on both side quarter windows and must be a minimum 6" high and 11 ⁄2" wide. Class-designation letters must be a minimum 3" high. Class and car number must be displayed on the front windshield 3" high and 1" wide. Driver’s competition number and class designation must be displayed in a legible manner in a contrasting color to the vehicle’s background color, and be clearly visible to the tower personnel. Class and numbers on all headsup category cars must be in the form of permanent decals or paint.

1.6 Class Sponsor: All cars must have the class sponsors and BRS decals displayed in appropriate visible locations on both sides of the car (Running boards, roof, and top of fenders are not acceptable locations) during all qualifying passes and elimination rounds. Failure to have stickers displayed will result in loss of event points and payout. Stickers may not be overlapped or modified.

1.7 License Passes: Attempting to make license passes in order to receive NHRA License credentials is prohibited during qualifying and/or eliminations.

1.8 Assigned Class: Assigned Class: No class hopping, you may not change classes once qualifying has begun. Only exception is moving from P/E to any other BRS Class prior to completion of qualifying. You must make at least one qualifying run in the class you are moving to. You must also pass thru tech to verify your car is legal for the class and may also be subject to additional BRS Class fees for the respective class. Once qualifying has been completed and should a racer fail to qualify in their assigned class, they may then move into P/E. You must inform the BRS and track officials in the tower before attempting to move to P/E. Example: a driver that fails to qualify in Super Street cannot drop in to Super Comp even if there is not a full car field but they are allowed to move in to P/E. Two cars required to run any class at a event.

1.12 Courtesy Staging: Courtesy staging will be enforced during eliminations in Pro Mod, Super Street, Pro Gas and Super Comp. Both drivers must have their pre-stage lights lit before either may advance into the stage beams. Once both lights have been lit a driver cannot re-stage for a second time. This will result in automatic disqualification. All decisions of the starter are final.

1.13 Qualifying: An official qualifying attempt has been made once a racer has properly selfstarted, self-staged and received the green light. If a racer should break after taking the green light and is unable to complete a full pass an arbitrary elapsed time will be given and will be considered a valid qualifying pass. Should two racers break in this manner the first to do so will be inserted into the ladder should there be a position to place them. In the heads up classes should there be a tie in elapsed times the racer with the fastest top speed will have the better qualifying position.

1.14 Bye Runs: Racers making single or bye runs are deemed the winner once they have staged and taken the green light. PM, SS, PG, and Pro Turbo must proceed to scales only if attempting to receive lane choice and/or establishing new records.

1.15 Lane Choice: Lane choice for heads up classes is determined by elapsed times. Qualifying positions determines first round lane choice. In subsequent rounds, lane choice goes to the racer that ran the lowest E.T. during the previous round. Lane choice in the index classes for first round is determined by qualifying positions. In subsequent rounds, lane choice goes to the racer nearest the index. If there is a tie the racer first posting the fastest MPH receives lane choice.

1.16 Alternates: Only the top qualifiers will be eligible to make the elimination ladders in their perspective classes. If a qualified racer is disqualified prior to the start of eliminations the next racer in order will be inserted into the ladder based on qualifying time. Once ladder pairings have been made the ladder will not be changed. If a qualified racer cannot make first round the paired racer will receive a single run regardless of original qualifying position.

1.17 Records: Prior to being awarded any record, minimum weight requirements must have been met when weighed after the pass, then report to the BRS tech for lbs./C.I. verification.

1.18 Points: All points are awarded to the driver. A driver must be a current registered member of the BRS.

To Calculate Engine Displacement

Multiply the bore x bore x stroke x .0007854 x 4 (number of cylinders).

Example:
94 x 94 x 86 x .0007854 x 4 = 2387 cubic centimeters

To Calculate cubic inches multiply result by .061

Example:
2387 x .061 = 145.607 rounding up makes 146CI

Example:
For Pro Mod Turbo Lbs/C.I. with Methanol:

13.00 x 146=1898.46 (1888 lbs. with driver)

To Calculate Compression Ratio

Cylinder volume + deck volume + cylinder head volume divided by the sum (Cylinder head volume + deck volume)

Example:
597 + 7 + 40 / 47 = 13.7 or 13.7:1 Compression Ratio
