Drag Racing Basics
This section is for newcomers to New England Dragway and serves as a refresher for our regular racers. All racers should refer to the General Race Day Procedures and General Safety Procedures sections of the racer handbook for additional clarification.
Street Night: After paying your race fee at the pit gate, proceed to the Credentials Building for your wristband and tech inspection card. A New England Dragway representative at the Credentials Building will ask to see your driver's/operator's license. After receiving these items proceed to the tech area located behind the concession building for inspection.
Wristband must be placed on the driver's wrist when issued. Wristbands are required for all drivers. Additionally, all crewmembers wishing to ride as a co-driver (where allowed) must obtain a wristband. Under State of New Hampshire law swapping wristbands is considered a theft of services and punishable as a criminal offense. New England Dragway, Inc., has adopted a Zero Tolerance policy for this act. Anyone caught swapping wristbands (this includes, but is not limited to wearing a wristband not issued to them, cutting and taping a wristband) shall be arrested, immediately removed from the premisis, prosecuted and prohibited from participating at any New England Dragway event.
Fill out the appropriate portions of your tech card and wait for the next available tech inspector. This New England Dragway representative will ask to see your driver's/operator's license, wristband and ask for you tech card. Vehicles successfully passing tech inspection process will be assigned a number and directed into the staging lanes.
When your lane is pulled, you must be ready to race. Being race ready means seatbelts are fastened, windows closed (including sunroof) and lights on (when applicable). The Staging Director will guide you toward the burnout area. If you choose to do a burnout, follow the directions of the Water Box Technician. After completing your burnout, proceed immediately to the starting line.
Approach the starting line until your tire activates the pre-stage light. From there, inch your way forward until your tire causes the stage light to come on. This signals the starter that you are ready to race.
Time your start so that your vehicle is leaving just as the green light comes on. A perfect reaction time is .500 seconds. Continue accelerating until you cross the finish line.
If you believe that your vehicle is leaking fluids on the racing surface, or there is a malfunction, pull over immediately and wait for track personnel to assist.
Begin to decelerate as soon as you cross the finish line and continue down track until the third turn. Watch for Top End personnel at this turn for guidance in exiting the track. Remember, the vehicle in the right lane has the right of way. Proceed immidiately to the time slip booth, obeying the posted speed limit of 10 MPH en route.
Your time slip is a detailed record of your run. It provides you with your reaction time, and elapsed time readings at the 60', 330', 1/8th mile and 1/4 mile mark. In addition, it provides you with MPH reading at the 1/8th and 1/4 mile. This data will help you evaluate your run.
After reading the data, you may choose to cool down your vehicle in the pit area r proceed back to the staging lanes for another run. Do not cool down your vehicle in the staging lanes.
All racers are responsible for being familiar and in compliance with current New England Dragway, Inc., and IHRA rules. Depending upon the severity of the infraction, one warning will be given to a driver found in violation of the rules. A second violation during the same event may subject the offender to immediate disqualification and eviction. This includes, but is not limited to; inoperable tail lights, and not having a fire jacket or suit when running an elapsed time of 11.49 seconds or quicker.
The following infractions shall result in immediate disqualificatin and competitiors shall not be permitted to race until the discrepancy is corrected:
Convertible running 13.49 or quicker without a roll bar
Motorcycle or snowmobile riders running 10.99 or quicker without leather pants and/or a lanyard
Hardtop vehicles running 11.49 or quicker without a roll bar
Drivers/riders running 9.99 seconds or quicker without a valid IHRA credential
Drivers running 13.99 seconds or quicker without a helmet meeting Snell or SFI specifications
Drivers/riders running 13.99 seconds or quicker with a co-driver
