In all classes, if you qualify for the bye, you will not have the option to decline it. When we call each class to the lanes for and during eliminations, we will announce the bye run driver and number, and they will go to lane 7 for the wait and see bye. All other rules concerning bye’s remain the same.

JR Dragster paring:
In both Jr classes, round one will be on a ladder qualified by reaction time. Round two will be paired by inverting the round one results. (First winner will run the last loser). Beyond that they will continue on parings drawn from the round sheet as in years past.
We will reserve the right to change paring procedures at any event, based on car count, or any other factors we see, when necessary.

Break Rule
There is no break rule for bracket eliminations. If you win a round and cannot return for the next, you will receive points and/or money, if any, as if you appeared in the next round and lost.

Car & Driver
A single car may enter once in any class it is legal for. A driver may enter each class once. You must run the same car during eliminations that you start with. If your car breaks during eliminations, you cannot substitute it with another car.

Paring
Cars will be pulled with the first car on the left, as the staging director faces the lanes, running the first car on the right. EXAMPLE; if lanes 1 to 6 were used for Super Pro, as the staging director faced the lanes, he would match the first cars in lane 5 and 6. if lane 6 emptied first, he would then move to lane 4 and match it with the remaining cars in lane 5 until it emptied, and then move to match 4 and 3. When all but one lane empties, those cars will race each other. Fast car goes right the first round, left the second and so on. When there are 12 or fewer cars, parings are done from round sheet. With the first winner from the previous round running the second winner, and so on. If there are odd numbers, the bye goes to the best reaction time, provided they have not had a bye. Bye run runs last in the round.

Motorcycle Parings
After time runs, the computer will generate a PRO ladder based on reactions times. If there is an odd number in round one, the computer will pick the best R.T. for the bye run. It will be mandatory that the selected bike take the bye run. Just as we do with the cars, the fast dial will go to the right lane in round one, and left in round two, and so forth. After round one, parings will be from the round sheet, with the first winner running the second winner, etc., for round two, the round sheet will also be used to pair the loser's side of the bracket, from those that buy back.

Bye Runs
In non paired rounds, all bye runs are potential. Bye runs for round one is given to the best reaction time from the official time run sessions. Bye runs do not carry. If there is no bye that round, a new bye is picked from reaction time for the next round. If you get the wait and see bye, and there is no bye, you can still earn it by having the best reaction time. One bye run only during eliminations, unless all cars still in competition have had a bye.

Staging, auto start, cross talk
Must courtesy stage. Auto start will be on at all times in Super Pro and No-Electronics. Deep staging is not allowed. Staging must be with the front tires of the vehicle only. There must be at least 3" ground clearance for all parts of the race vehicle as it sets on the starting pad.
If either of your stage bulbs are out when the tree activates, you will get a red light. The three bulb timer is also on in Super Pro and No-Electronics. Once your opponent has both stage lights on, and you have the pre stage on, you will get a red if you do not stage in a timely manner. If you have problems behind the starting line, your opponent will be given a single, once the starter has determined you cannot make it to the line in a reasonable amount of time. This call is the starter's discretion. For Super Pro, cross talk will be used. If you happen to be the fast car, and you want cross talk disabled, put an "N" after your dial.

Excessive braking
If excessive braking causes loss of control, you will be given ONE warning. The second time will be a disqualification. This call is made by track officials only!

Disqualifications
Disqualifications are made on a first or worst basis. EXAMPLE: Crossing the centerline is considered worse than a red light. Since we cannot possibly cover all situations that may arise during eliminations, it is the Race Director's responsibility to make a judgment on disputed calls. If it is necessary to settle a dispute, the race director will speak with the drivers involved ONLY. Not the crews, wives and/or husbands.

Authority
Any condition considered to be unsafe by Mo-Kan Dragway officials will be adequate grounds for barring or withdrawing a vehicle from participation in any event, until the fault has been remedied to the satisfaction
