But, one piece of information that everyone needs to know is that whether we have an eight-car field or a 16-car field, HALF of the qualified field will be dragster/altereds and the other HALF of the field will be doorslammers. We're doing this so everybody has a chance to qualify. Once the field is set, the ladder will be done on the individual ET's and the racing will be heads-up on a Pro Tree!!!

ENTRY FEES

Entry fee for the event will be $100! That gets the car, driver and four crew members into the race. If you bring more than four they will have to buy a ticket -- so don't even ask!

THE RULES

1. The race is a heads-up, run-what-ya-brung, Pro-tree race with three rounds of qualifying and eliminations under the lights on Saturday night in front of a standing room only crowd.
2. Open wheel cars (i.e. dragster, altered or funny car) can run a Lenco-glide or a Bruno or anything similar. You must have an automatic trans case and converter. Any blower, turbocharger and combination of power-adders are allowed.
3. We're going to allow any combination of engine, power adders and transmission for doorslammers, as long as you don't have a blower or turbocharger. Blower/turbo cars must run an automatic trans. Lenco-glides, Jeffco or Brunos will be legal. No Pro Mods (legal or illegal) will be allowed. No exceptions.
4. Just as last year, real nostalgia T/F, AFD, Fuel Altereds, or Fuel Funny cars are welcome and nitromethane is a legal fuel. Pro Nostalgia Top Fuel cars cannot compete.
5. The field will be made up of the quickest 8-16 cars. We've always had eight car fields but this is the 50th annual World Series so if we get enough racers we'll expand the field to 16.
6. No minimum E.T., no breakout. This will be real drag racing. If you want to bracket race there are classes available for that.
7. Our ladder will be, depending on the number of cars as follows: Eight car field 1 vs 5, 2 vs 6 and so on or if we have a sixteen car field 1 vs 9, 2 vs 10 and so on. We feel this is the fairest way to run the program. The fastest car won't race the slowest car in the first round.
