RACE FORMAT AND SCHEDULE
Welcome to the 2018 NTRA WINTER NATIONALS
Track temp will be around 75 deg for the duration of the race. This will be the projected racing schedule and format for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. (if necessary). Bracket cars will be qualified first thing Friday morning. Results will be posted immediately afterward followed by the first round ladders. Cars will be qualified by running 1 run in each lane and taking the best time of the two to apply the Dial In % to. We are using a single elimination ladder (printyourbrackets.com). Placement on ladder will be random based on names drawn out of a hat. We will check pick ups, wheelie bars, clean tires, and oil only as needed. Any special instruction will superceded these.
Friday's schedule: Bracket Qualifying first thing. Results will be posted immediately following completion. Call will go out for racers Dial In percentage. Bracket Race Eliminations. Saturday's schedule: Recap of Friday's events. 2 Rounds of Pro Street Outlaw and Four Gear Outlaw will run along with Match Races. Time permitting Bracket Qualifying will run and results posted. Best in Show Award. Sunday's schedule: Winners acknowledged, wrap up any pending business, and race closing.
That's about it. Thanks for sending your cars. Track records are up for grabs this weekend and should fall on this fast Max Trax surface. We've got some work to do now. The track is in great shape. Lanes are running even, so there is no advantage either way. Anyway..........enough talk........let's get this thing going. Good luck to all the racers this weekend!!! |

I would like to thank the organisers for letting me have a chance at running in this truly international event. There is obviously a great deal of work to put on an event like this. I would also wish all entrants the best of luck.

It will still be a little while before we start eliminations if anybody else wants to get their Dial In percentage posted.
GTS, Ncdragracer, Mazda, Hairy Canary, and Gnome I have recorded your DI percentage. 1st Round ladder will be posted showing actual calculated Dial In before eliminations begins.
