QUICK 8 SERIES RULES

1.     All cars must meet NHRA rules and requirements.  Chassis ET certifications will be strictly monitored and enforced.  It is the racers responsibility to know rules and limitations as it applies to your ET and MPH.   Cars must run 6.50 or faster in the 1/8^th mile to qualify unless an exception is requested. 

2.     Qualifying runs are to be made when called by the tower only.  No additional passes are allowed prior to competition.  Vehicles entered in a Quick 8 race may not enter another class during the same event.

3.     Racers that enter and do not qualify are eligible to enter the Electronics class or Super Pro Class for that day. RMDS will apply the difference in entry fees to the track if a racer chooses to enter an alternative class.

4.     Delay boxes are allowed in competition.  Cross-talk/Cross-over is not possible with a combination of a full tree and a pro tree option.

5.     5 tenths full tree or 4 tenths pro tree allowed.  Your Dial-In will be displayed on the scoreboards during eliminations.  The default tree is a 5 tenths FULL TREE.  If a driver wants a 4 tenths PRO TREE they must indicate on their tech card prior to racing the event.  Deep staging is allowed. (It is the drivers’ responsibility to understand track rules for deep staging).

6.     Ensure ET is written plainly and visibly to the towers view.  Check for locations based on track.

7.     Door cars only allowed in the Rocky Mountain Door Slammers Quick 8 series.  Each car must have doors, fenders, roof, windshield, left hand steer, and 4-wheel suspension. 

8.     Lane choice will be awarded by qualifying and your previous round of eliminations, with the faster car getting to choose.

9.     Driver may only dial .2 tenths slower than their quickest qualifying or elimination pass during the race event.  Example:  Racers fastest qualifying time is 5.20; the slowest you can dial your car is 5.40.

10.  The entry fee for the quick 8 series is $75.  At the gate, pay $25 for a Quick 8 tech card.  Then come to Mike Dowling’s pit to pay $50 to compete. 

11.  A completed event is defined as if one elimination round is completed on the day of the event.  Points will be awarded accordingly based on number of rounds completed.

12.  In the event a racer cannot make the first round of eliminations for any reason the next highest qualified competitor will be allowed to race as an alternate.  The withdrawing racer will receive event entry points + their qualifying position points only.  The alternate will receive points for round wins only (no points for qualifying position or Quick 8 points).
