BIR implemented an oil down policy midseason 2023. This rule will continue to be in effect for 2026. See general rules. Any competitor listed as a driver car combination in the 2025 or 2026 BIR Bracket Drag Racing Series points program must compete in Index or heads up classes. Double racer entries will be allowed only when we have 425 cars or less registered. “What does the orange cone on the starting line mean?”  If your vehicle has street tires, you will be “coned” when you pull up to the starting line. This means that you must keep your wheels aligned with the orange cone and out the of the “groove” on the racing surface when you’re making your pass down the track. Street tires tear up the surface rubber and we want to that groove for vehicles running drag slicks/radial tires. In the Fast 7 group to eliminate the occurrence of the number 1 and 2 qualifiers meeting in the semifinals and not the finals due to being on the same side of the ladder we will use a handwritten ladder that will swap the number 2 and 3 qualifier’s positions on the ladder so that number two will not be on the same side of the ladder as number 1. The ladders that will be subject to this change will include car counts of 9,18,19,21,36. 2026 NHRA Rule Book(https://nhraracer.com/content/general.asp?articleid=47000&zoneid=132)

The 2026 BIR “Kwik Trip Muscle Car Series” is designed to showcase the fastest “purpose built” and “road worthy” MUSCLE CARS in the Midwest! The series begins Memorial Day weekend with the Street Car Showdown. Then it is on to the 4th of July weekend for the original Kwik Trip Muscle Car Series event, Show & Go. The series concludes with the Muscle Car Shootout Labor Day weekend. This three-race series pushes the limits of what is possible with putting the power to the ground. While Outlaw Pro Mod, “Lakeside Cabinets & Woodworking” Outlaw, Norm’s Tire Sales 660 Limited Street & “Zack Novak Construction Inc.” 660 Outlaw Street set the bar for how fast a production-looking muscle cars can go, "Redline Performance & Fabrication" King Street, "Everything Automotive" Real Street Unlimited, and the Real Street Natural classes push the speed envelope for cars that have to be licensed, insured, are legal to drive on the street, and are required to prove their drivability by going on a 12-mile cruise around BIR’s road course on Saturday night! For those who are running muscle cars that are 8.50 second ET (Elapsed Time) or slower in the quarter mile we have 12 Index Classes Eliminators (ICE) from 8.5 – 14.0 to choose from. The winners of each class then race against each other to see “Can You Beat Everyone” (CUBE). Index Class racing is heads-up on a .500 pro tree, where the winner gets to the finish first, without going under their index. Running below the index is known as a “breakout” and a loss. Try your hand at bracket-style racing in the SE 1, 2, 3 (Strip Eliminator), Truck Eliminator and Manual Transmission classes where you pick your own ET from 7.5 to 20 seconds and leave the line at different times. If both drivers run perfect passes, the pair should get to the finish line at the exact same time. You will not see ties – there is always a winner! This class uses a .500 full tree and is not open to any racers who competes in the current year or 2025 BIR Bracket Drag Racing Points Series. If you have a classic or exotic car you would like to show off without racing, the Show & Go and Muscle Car Shootout events have classic car shows in which you can compete. Car show entry is free with your gate admission ticket! Entrants earn a plaque for category wins, and exclusive car show parking. It’s a great way to be part of the action. At BIR, all competitors must wear a helmet rated for motorsports competition, Snell 2015, Snell 2020, or Snell 2025. Drivers and vehicles must meet all class requirements to be eligible to compete within that class.

A vehicle must leave the starting line forward, under its own power, to be eligible for a win. 7. If a vehicle has problems before staging, it will be given 30 seconds to re-start or correct. 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. 8. Auto-start will be used in all classes. 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. 9. You cannot enter two drivers in one vehicle in any BIR classes. You may not switch drivers once eliminations have begun. You must finish eliminations with the vehicle/driver combination you started with. 10. Drivers may enter more than one class. However, one vehicle cannot be entered in more than one Fast 7 class (heads up classes). 11. 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! 12. Tow vehicles permitted. Only One Tow vehicle per racer will be allowed to top end. All passengers must ride in a seated position. "To ensure everyone's safety, only those who can fit in the available seats can ride. No “Razor Scooters” allowed past ET shack. 13. 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 of the racing surface. 14. In the unlikely event of a re-run, the re-run competitors will not be allowed to change their dial-ins or lane choice. 15. Byes round one of non laddered classes will be a random pick. Subsequent rounds will be decided by ‘best reaction time’ in previous round 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 who has the ‘bye run’ must leave the starting line forward, under its own power, to be eligible for a win. Drivers will not be eligible for a second bye run until class is on a ladder. 16. For all classes on a ladder round 1 the driver with the better qualifying elapsed time will get first-round lane choice, subsequent rounds will be determined by a coin toss. 17. Any competitor listed as a driver car combination in the current or 2025 BIR Bracket Drag Racing Series points program must compete in only index or heads up classes. 18. All protests and appeals must be made through 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. If someone comes to an official with a rule's infraction on a competitor's car, they need to go with the official to offending driver & vehicle to explain the infraction on the vehicle. If they won't, then the infraction will stand unless we have another reporter who will. 19. No Dragsters, Roadsters, Junior Dragsters, Motorcycles, Snowmobiles etc. This is a door car series. 20. Safety gear such as helmets, jackets and seatbelts must not be removed or loosened, and windows must remain rolled up until you have exited the racing surface. 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. Oil Down Policy  Test & Tune (TNT) Tech Cards for Weekend  First oil down: no penalty  Second oil down: loss of TNT tech card for that day. If racer wants to buy another TNT card for the same weekend, payment of $250.00 cash penalty to the race director required prior to the purchase a new TNT card.  Third oil down: Tech card will become void and no additional tech cards can be purchased for that weekend or event.  Event Tech Cards  First oil down: no penalty  Second oil down: $250.00 penalty will be paid to the race director to be eligible to continue racing that event.  Third oil down: disqualification from the current event (All tech cards will be void with no refunds)  Note: this applies to any event on the drag strip, including but not limited to, each Kwik Trip Muscle Car Series event (Street Car, Show & Go, Muscle Car), Bracket Race (per race day as each is a separate event), or Northstar Speed Summit.  A “clean-up” is defined as any incident requiring the use of mechanical equipment (i.e., tractor, truck, tenant, sweeper, etc.) to clean up fluids (e.g., engine oil, gear oil, anti-freeze, transmission fluid, etc.) deposited on the track by a race vehicle (car, dragster, bike, sled, etc.). Spills or drops of fluids cleaned up by hand are not considered violations and penalties will not apply. On occasion, equipment will be used to touch up the racing surface. Such maintenance is not considered a clean-up. This policy encompasses the entire length of the “track surface”, including but not limited to the staging lanes, burnout box, starting line, racing surface and the shutdown area to the point the vehicle exits (including the turnout area if clean-up results in a delay of the race).  The removal of objects such as blower belts or miscellaneous parts from the track surface does not constitute an “clean up”. It also does not apply to fuel, fire extinguishing systems, drive line parts (not including fluids), wheels, tires, brake systems, etc. An oil/liquid cleanup resulting from a crash will not result in a penalty unless the accident was a result of depositing oil/liquids on the track.  23. In the Fast 7 group to eliminate the occurrence of the number 1 and 2 qualifiers meeting in the semifinals and not the finals due to being on the same side of the ladder we will use a handwritten ladder that will swap the number 2 and 3 qualifier’s positions on the ladder so that number two will not be on the same side of the ladder as number 1. The ladders that will be subject to this change will include car counts of 9,18,19,21,36.   All cars must meet event criteria as follows:  · All vehicles must have hoods. * (Excluding pre-1950 “Street Rod” type using OE style radiator support grill shell.)  · Full paint, primer only okay if it covers the entire body panel and is “considered the look of the car”  · No spot primer.  · The entire interior must have finished appearance. This includes dash, door panels & flooring.  Class specific rules may override Show Criteria rules. See your specific class for further entry requirements.

All non-licensed motorized vehicles (any vehicle that doesn’t have current state roadworthy licensing) will require an authorization sticker to operate on BIR grounds. An authorization ticket is available for sale at the front gate during events. 2026 Season Ticket (excluding Nationals, Octane, Lakes Jam, or Powercruise) To purchase a non-licensed vehicle ticket, an adult (a person 18 years old or older) with a valid drivers license must sign a release waiver and take full responsibility for that vehicle and any and all injuries/damages it causes. The ticket is then redeemed for an individually numbered sticker to be placed on the front of the vehicle. Tickets can be redeemed for stickers by stopping by the Shirt Shack or by contacting any of our security guards and presenting the vehicle for inspection. (See vehicle guidelines below.)     Vehicle guidelines It is not the responsibility of BIR for pit vehicle safety, it is the person who signs the release that takes full ownership of that vehicle to see that it is safely operated! The following is a list of guidelines with regards to vehicles. Trailer or “Partywagon” Guidelines: • Trailers should not be wider than the tow vehicle. • All sharp edges should be padded. • All seats/tables should be bolted down, strapped or enclosed by sturdy railing. • Nighttime brings added concern for safety. Be careful! • NO GLASS CONTAINERS. Age Limits and Restricted Areas All drivers and crew members entering a restricted area must sign the appropriate Waiver and Liability Releases. Minors under the age of 18 must have a Minor Release Form signed by both parents or legal guardians. In the case of a single parent (by means of divorce, death, or court order) or a legal guardian (by court order), a written notation must be made in the minor release form. To enter into any Restricted Area, any driver or crew member must possess and display a valid Restricted Area wristband. Motorized Vehicle Rules: • The maximum speed limit inside BIR is 10 mph. • Drivers of all motorized vehicles must be at least 16 years old and carry a valid driver’s license. • All vehicles MUST HAVE functioning headlight and taillight from dusk through dawn. Flashlights do not qualify as a legal headlight or taillight. • All motorized vehicles MUST drive on the appropriate side of the road. • BIR reserves the right to confiscate pit transportation of any violators. Non-motorized vehicles: Bicycles, rollerblades, skateboards, etc. No one under the age of 18 is allowed to operate non-motorized vehicles in the pit area during racing hours. BIR’s insurance company is now requiring all motorized vehicles (gas or electric) to have a flag attached at all times while operating on BIR property. Flag size is to be NO less than 10”x14” rectangle/triangle or 14”x14” square with a height off the ground of no less than 66 inches to the top of the flag. Exclusion from this rule and do NOT need a flag are:  1. Vehicles that are registered, have proof of insurance, and have current registration to operate on Minnesota highways. 2. Vehicles that are registered in the event as a race competitor. 3. Vehicles that have a roof that exceeds 66” in height. 4. BIR Official Vehicles that are being used on the racing surfaces.

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. No tech card rainchecks will be given if at least two (2) time trial/qualifying sessions are provided, or the first round of eliminations is completed for your class entered. Points will be awarded according to completed elimination rounds in each class. If 2-time trials/qualifiers or round one is not completed a tech card credit minus a $10.00 handling fee will be given, this credit will be valid for 1 year. Gate admission, parking, electric, and other BIR items are non-refundable.
