Break Rule
There is no break rule for bracket eliminations. If you win a round and cannot return for the next, you will receive points and/or money, if any, as if you appeared in the next round and lost. (You cannot change cars during eliminations period)

Car & Driver
A single car may enter once in any class it is legal for. A driver may enter each class once. You must run the same car during eliminations that you start with. You will be required to make the call if you are running multiple classes. If you are running Sportsman that car cannot run in another class during that event. If your car breaks during eliminations, you cannot substitute it with another car.

Staging, auto start, cross talk
Must courtesy stage. Auto start will be on at all times. Deep staging is not allowed. Staging must be with the front tires of the vehicle only. There must be at least 3″ ground clearance for all parts of the race vehicle as it sets on the starting pad.
If either of your stage bulbs is out when the tree activates, you will get a red light. The three bulb timer is also on in Super Pro and No-Electronics. Once your opponent has both stage lights on, and you have the pre stage on, you will get a red if you do not stage in a timely manner. If you have problems behind the starting line, your opponent will be given a single, once the starter has determined you cannot make it to the line in a reasonable amount of time. This call is the starter’s discretion. For Super Pro, Top Eliminator, and Pro Bike, cross talk will be used.

Excessive braking
If excessive braking causes loss of control, you will be given ONE warning. The second time will be a disqualification. This call is made by track officials only!

Disqualifications
Disqualifications are made on a first or worst basis. EXAMPLE: Crossing the centerline is considered worse than a red light, and if you cross the centerline on a single you will be DNQ’d. Since we cannot possibly cover all situations that may arise during eliminations, it is the Race Director’s responsibility to make a judgment on disputed calls. If it is necessary to settle a dispute, the race director will speak with the drivers involved ONLY.
