ArmDrop HOT LAP Racing:
"Minimum 12:99 ET" or quicker vehicles will be allowed to register (track controls car count, holds all registration & tech)
Friday will be tech inspection & test tune and one optional qualifying pass so all racers will get time to get prepared for the main race day which is Saturday. When teching in racers must put there fastest expecting ET for qualifying on their tech card. If racers can’t make Fridays test & tune or qualifying they will still be able to race on Saturday if they get in before qualifying is complete. All T&T and qualifying will be on a 4 tenths pro tree until Rich ArmDrops.
All vehicles will get a minimum of one qualifying pass (3 if time allows) that will determine their ET and MPH. Vehicles will be called to lanes by ET written on tech cards. For example if you put your expected ET of 10.35 on your tech card and we call all racers 10.00-10.99 to the staging lanes that’s your time for qualifying. (Listen to all announcements very closely)
