Nothing too fancy here, just some good old fashioned racing. Find or build a car and we'll race on a 21-ft Drag Track setup courtesy of the Autobody Specialists shop in Columbus, OH.

The winner will receive a new Redline Derby Axle Alignment Jig and other RLD swag.

For those that want their entry back after the race, return shipping is FREE for this event. But if you don't need to have your car returned, please choose to have it be donated to the weekend event where it will be made available to kids looking for some free cars to enjoy.

Track

This is a stock Drag Track system setup running 21-feet, owned and operated by the Autobody Specialists shop team. Both cars will be released at the same time. The timing tree is not being used, nor are times recorded for this race.

Race format and scoring

This will be a round robin tournament where every car races against every other car once. The car with the most wins after all racing is done will be the winner. In the case there is a tie, the cars will race head-to-head, alternating lanes.

The Drag Track starting gate is notorious for not dropping 100% of the time. Every effort will be made to get your car to release fairly for both lanes. If for whatever reason your car will not release on a specific lane after several attempts, the time for the other lane will be logged.

Penalties/DNF

Cars are given a grace of 1g over the stated weight limit to account for variance in scales.

If a car fails to meet any of the restrictions listed above, the car will not qualify for tournament prizes. Offending cars may still race. Prize will go to the runner-up in the case of penalty car winning.

Cars that fail to run or fit on the track, or that happen to break during racing, will forfeit their matches. Cars that arrive broken will attempt to be repaired before the tournament. Cars that break during the tournament will not be repaired or replaced.
