Street-type cars/trucks are encouraged. No full tube chassis cars allowed unless its for exhibition purposes, but back-half cars are permitted in some classes. Maximum measured tread width of rear tire not to exceed 15.5 inches. we reserves the right to alter these very liberal rules in the name of even competition. 3. All racers must pass track safety inspection. i. e. Helmet, roll bars, safety harnesses. Heads-up! .4 Pro-Tree! Just like the big boys! . Staging at Pro-tree: Courtesy Staging: Both drivers must be pre-staged before either car may be placed in a staged position. This allows both drivers and even chance to stage . qualifying. You are encouraged to run at least 2 of the 3 qualifying rounds. (if time allows)You cannot change classes after the first round of qualifying has started unless they put you in the wrong class. . You will be placed onto the a ladder according to your best qualifying pass. This is your index. It is important that you qualify as fast as you can After qualifying round(S), and before the Elimination round, all drivers will be required to check in with the track officals Racing officials base of the tower and tell us that you intend to run in the Elimination round. This is to prevent single runs where the opponent has broke or has left early. There will be no exceptions to this rule. If you don’t check-in, you will not be called for the Elimination round. There will be 1 and only 1 Elimination round! Racers will be matched up, #1 qualifier vs #2 qualifier and so on down the ladder. The guarantees that you will have a heads-up, pro-tree race against the closest performing competitor on the property, regardless of modifications, races will be close, competitive, and full of fun and excitement. If you are unable to make the call for the Elimination Round, PLEASE let the track official know!! This information is necessary so that we can match the ladder correctly during the Elimination Round. IF you do not report as being ready for competition you will not be called for the final Elimination Round, In the event of an odd number of entrants, the slowest qualifier will have a single run during the Elimination round. Sand Bagger Rule: There is a two/two breakout rule in effect! If you go more than two-tenths quicker or 2 mph faster than your index, you will be determined the loser. If both cars go below their index by this amount the racer closest to his index will be declared the winner. Let’s qualify as fast as we can so the ladder stays competitive. (The only exception to this rule is between the top 2 qualifiers. If you are the #2 qualifier, and you want to step up your car more than two-tenths or 2 mph in an effort to beat the #1 Qualifier-- Go For It!!) We don’t like to having to use this rule, but some people are intentionally holding back till eliminations to try and guarantee a win instead of leaving it up to the driving skill and reaction time .track officials reserves the rights to randomly inspect cars for rules violations. Any racer that refuses to subject their car to a visual or mechanical inspection (Not a tear down) may be forfeited and be removed from the racing program. Protest procedure: If you want to protest another competitor for any reason, you must bring this to the attention of a official before the 3rd round of qualifying. The protested driver will be made aware of who is protesting and for what at the time of the vehicle inspection. Warning!! Do not get carried away with protesting each other There are trophies and a lot of pride on the line, but it’s not worth the sanity of the the staff or making enemies of your competitors. The bottom line is to be safe and have a great time!! Enjoy the competition
