MANUFACTURERS FUNNY CAR CHAMPIONSHIP
Test and Tune: May 8
Qualifying: July 2
Eliminations: July 3-4
This is TEAM race to determine bragging rights in Nostalgia Funny Car, modeled after the Manufacturers Funny Car Championship that was held at Orange County International Raceway in the '70s.
All cars must conform to NTRA Nostalgia Funny Car rules. Entries are subject to inspection and teardown at the discretion of the race director. Track power will be 13.8 VDC. NF/C rules are posted at:
www.ninjatekprojects.com/images/NFC_Rules_2011sm.jpg
Each team will consist of four cars representing the following manufacturers:
Chevrolet
Chrysler (Dodge/Plymouth)
Ford (Ford/Mercury)
Independents (Pontiac, AMC, Jeep, all others)
Entries: Each racer can enter up to two cars; however, only the car with the quicker qualifying time will race on the respective manufacturer team.
Qualifying: The four quickest qualifiers representing each of the four manufacturers will qualify for the respective teams. Cars that do not qualify for the manufacturer teams will compete in open competition.
If a manufacturer team does not have four entries, any open spots will be filled by the quickest qualifiers that are not already on a team. (For example, if there are three Ford entries, the open spot will be filled by the quickest non-qualifier from another manufacturer; see below for "blocker" scoring.)
Team Eliminations: There will be three rounds of eliminations. Each team will race every other team once, with the No. 1 qualifier vs. No. 1 qualifier, No. 2 vs. No. 2, etc. Each win scores one point; the team with the highest point total after three rounds will be the Manufacturer Champion. In the event of a tie, the team with the better head-to-head record will win the tiebreaker, followed by the quickest e.t., followed by the fastest speed.
If a team has a spot filled by a car from another manufacturer, that car will not score a point for a victory – however, this car is a "blocker" that will prevent the other team from scoring a point if it wins.
Individual Championship: The two cars with the quickest elapsed times during eliminations will race in a "winner-take-all" Chicago-style Individual Championship.
Highest Points Scorer: The entry with the highest total of points scored will be recognized as the Top Gun. In the event of a tie, the Top Gun award will go to the entry with the higher (i.e., slower) qualifying position, followed by quickest e.t in eliminations, followed by fastest speed.
Open Competition: Cars that do not qualify for the Manufacturers Championship will race in single-round Open Competition. Pairings will be based on qualifying times (Example: No. 5 qualifier vs. No. 6; No. 7 vs. No. 8, etc.)
Track: Lions Drag Strip, Aptos, Calif.
Length: 15' 3" timed section, 8' shutdown with dynamic braking
TKO CNC-routed Sintra
Rail height/shape: .012"-.015"/rectangular
Power supply: 0-30VDC, 10 amp
Timing: Trackmate DP2000
Test and Tune: May 8
Qualifying: July 2
