The racing will be conducted over the 1/8th mile and will be torch start and torch finish. No time slips or official drag racing timing equipment of any variety will be available. Camera’s will be at the start and finish lines in case of any disputes. All disputes will be reviewed and settled by the Race Master. There will be minimal track prep.
