Beginning in 2023 BIR will be requiring all cars running 9.99 or faster in the quarter mile, 6.39 or faster in the 1/8th mile or 135 mph and faster to have a NHRA-accepted lower engine oil–retention device (diaper); A belly pan may be used in lieu of a device attached to the engine.

For detailed safety and general guidelines, and bracket racing requirements, refer to the NHRA Rule Book. 2023 NHRA Rule Book BIR Requires a Snell 2015 or 2020 Helmet for all competitors. 2010 helmets are expired and no longer usable. 1. Seat belts must be worn and adjusted in such a manner that the driver’s torso and head cannot extend outside the parameters of the roll cage. Loosening or removing seat belts, helmets, gloves, and window nets, lifting the helmet shield, and removing all other safety equipment is prohibited from the time the vehicle leaves the ready line until the vehicle is on the return road. Violators will be subject to disciplinary action in the sole and absolute discretion of the event director and/or NHRA. Please remember to buckle your helmet, our start line is watching! 2. As a courtesy to all the drivers, please get to staging lanes promptly when called, there will be a total of 3 calls to staging. Lanes are closed when the last pair enters the burnout box. 3. Once "Round Robin" begins there will be a maximum of 15 minutes between rounds. The timer will begin once the final pair goes down the track. 4. The official has the final say in all cases. The computer is an official. 5. Do not stage until the scoreboard indicates correct dial-ins. All drivers, by staging their vehicles, will automatically indicate to the tower that they accept the dial-ins on the score board. Please check to see if it is correct before you stage! Re-runs WILL NOT be granted for an incorrect dial-in. If in doubt, ask the starter to verify your dial-in before you pre-stage. 6. Your dial-in must be displayed before crossing the yellow line. This line is at the head of the staging lanes. If you have no dial-in on your car, you will be dialed the same as your opponent. 7. The pairings are determined by the staging director in the staging lanes. The director’s pairings are final: You will race who you are paired with or lose the round by forfeit. The director will use a random drawing system to determine these pairings and lane choice. The decision is final. 8. In the event cars have been paired up and called to start and one fails to start or move, the non-offending competitor will be required to take the tree. A vehicle must leave the starting line forward, under its own power, to be eligible for a win. 9. If a vehicle has problems before staging, it will be given 30 seconds to re-start or correct. The actual time allowed will be at the discretion of the starter and based on the situation at hand. The starter shall have total discretion of the time allotted to stage a pair of vehicles and activate the tree. Track officials will make every effort to determine winners on the racetrack by competition, not by disqualification. His decision will be final. 10. Auto-start will be used in all classes (except Jr. Dragster Novice class). Movement of a “staged” vehicle after the tree is armed will result in a red-light foul, even though it may occur before the tree counts-down. Also called a “shallow-stage red” it is not grounds for protest or re-run. 11. You cannot enter two drivers in one vehicle in any single BIR class. You may not switch drivers once eliminations have begun. You must finish eliminations with the vehicle/driver you started with. 12. Drivers may enter more than one points fund for different classes. The driver is responsible for being on time for the appropriate class. 13. Stay with your vehicle in the staging lanes. Be ready ahead of time for your pass. If you are not ready to run when called, you may be disqualified. The staging director’s decision will be final. 14. No burnouts in the staging lanes or pit areas. No stationary burnouts – except in the water box. Power burnouts across the line are not allowed unless directed by a track official. One (1) backup is allowed to all competitors, for the purpose of re-positioning their vehicle on the starting pad. The car must always pull forward into a staged position, backing into a staged position is dangerous and strictly prohibited!!! 15. Delay boxes must be removed from the car in all no-box classes. If a delay box is found during a run the competitor is disqualified, and a one-year disqualification with the season forfeit. 16. Tow vehicles are only allowed for "Res Tech Systems" Super Pro, "DOA" Bike/Sled, and Junior Dragsters only. The driver must always stay with the tow vehicle. 17. In case of vehicle malfunction, please move your vehicle out of the groove and next to the guard wall. This may keep oil from your car off the racing surface. 18. In the unlikely event of a re-run, the re-run competitors will not be allowed to change their dial-ins or lane choice. 19. Round one bye will be random. Subsequent bye runs will be decided by previous rounds ‘best reaction time’ until it becomes system generated (on a ladder). A driver awarded a bye will ‘carry’ that bye until used or is eliminated from competition, then a new ‘bye’ will be chosen. A driver will not be eligible for a second bye until that class is on a ladder. A driver who has the ‘bye run’ must leave the starting line forward, under its own power, to be eligible for a win. 20. In classes laddered by reaction time lane choice in round one of eliminations will be awarded to the racer with the lowest qualifying position of the pair. Lane choice in each subsequent round will be determined by a coin toss. 21. If the official time or race results need to be checked, please check with the Race Director for the event. BIR reserves the right to confirm or overturn a race result based on recorded video or official eyewitness account. Please retain your time ticket for the last round you ran, you may need it for verification. 22. Cross talk will be used in "Res Tech Systems" Super Pro and King of the Track. If you do not wish to use this feature there must be a BIR approved “N” on your car. See the Tech Department for more information. 23. All protests and appeals must be made to the Race Director. Filing a protest during an event does not disqualify any entry until that entry is proven to be illegal by BIR or NHRA officials. NHRA rulebook procedures will be followed in all cases of protest, and in all instances no other entries will be reinstated based on the outcome of the protest. 24. Time trials are made by class when called by the announcer. Extra-time trials are not allowed unless specifically approved by the Race Director. Exceptions may be made by the Race Director when a competitor must substitute a vehicle or demonstrates that factors beyond their control caused them to miss the final scheduled time run session. The Race Director may grant one time run in such cases, provided a hardship exists. 25. In money classes, when a driver breaks after having won the round and cannot make the next round, he/she will be paid the next round loser pay. 26. Racer payout will be sent via Direct Deposit and/or checks will be mailed on Monday. If you would like to sign up for direct deposit, please contact the BIR Front Office. 27.

To enter any Restricted Area, any driver or crew member must possess and display a valid Restricted Area Wristband 29. All competitors need a General Admission ticket for facility entry. 30. Rain delays are not considered a rainout. Until a decision has been made by management that an event has been cancelled or called, everyone must consider themselves on rain delay and not a cancellation... no credits will be given until this decision has been made. At that time, the policy below stands. a) If rain or other occurrence halts/cancels racing before the completion of the first round of eliminations of your class (but after time runs are completed), competitors will receive a race entry credit (less a $10 handling fee). There will be no points or purse payout. This credit will be good for 1 year. b) If rain or other occurrence halts racing after the first round of eliminations for your class, points will be awarded to that point in the race. Payout will be divided among the remaining racers and no entry fee credit will be issued. If rain or other occurrence halts racing during a round of your class’s eliminations, applicable payouts and entry fee credits will be issued as if that class’s round had not started. c)Test n tune tech cards will be given a rain check unless the racer has entered the burnout box at any time during the event. Then the test and tune is considered complete at this time.
