Race Day Registration:

– $100 race entry fee to be paid at registration trailer prior to your second qualifying run.
Points Series:
– $85 points registration fee per driver (once annually).
- You do not need to be a member to run with us.
- Membership includes one .90 T-Shirt and 2 Stickers with your registration.
Rules of the Track:
- No flickering of the top bulb is permitted. If you are found to flicker the top-bulb in eliminations, you will automatically be disqualified for that round per the .90 President.
- Auto Start is in use and is active when 3 bulbs are lit on the tree, the other driver then has 7 seconds to fully stage before the tree activates.
- The starter will “back out” any racer that breaks the courtesy staging rule one time only during time shots and eliminations. Any 2nd occurrence will be treated as an infraction and the racer will be disqualified.
- All cars will qualify for first round ladder. Any car entering which has not had a qualifying run (late entry) will be placed at the bottom of the ladder. All higher qualified cars have lane choice- FIRST ROUND ONLY. From the 2nd round on lane choice will be determined via coin flip.
- Excessive braking or skidding of tires at the finish line will not be permitted. This is a unsafe practice and will lead to disqualification if determined by the president and starter.
- Only the driver who appears on the tech card is permitted to drive down the racetrack that day.
- If you have breakage with your car and choose not to compete in round 1 you must tell the president ASAP so we can make sure your opponent is notified. If you have breakage and cannot make the time shot, we will allow you to make a clean-up run after notifying an official. Once you take the tree in a qualifier, no clean-ups are given. If you miss eliminations due to breakage you automatically lose the round. Once you make a qualifying run you cannot get your gate fee back.
- If weather becomes a factor all efforts will be made to complete the race on that weekend. At least 1 round of competition must be completed for points to count, this includes qualifying points. If we are paired for the 1st round and rain comes in and we cannot finish the event that race becomes a wash.
- If you have no intention of running with .90 that day, please pull off into the Test & Tune Lane. Do not line up into the .90 time shot lane as you will then be included in the qualifying sheet. Remember once you break the beam in qualifying and make a run you are included on that ladder.
- If you receive a bye-run in eliminations, you may make a full run or just break the beam. The car must be FULLY Staged under its own power for the run to count, if you only Pre-Stage and roll the beams it is an automatic DQ.
- If you only break the beam, there is no infraction into the following round as far as lane choice, etc.
- ALL TRACK DECISIONS & DISQUALIFICATIONS WILL BE MADE BY THE
- STARTER, TRACK OFFICIALS AND .90 PRESIDENT.
Driver’s or crew responsibility to see to it that:
- Entry fees are paid on a timely basis (Before 2nd Time Run).
- Tech cards must be filled in properly and turned in to race track officials; MA.90A officials do not tech in cars.
- Time slips have the proper car number on them.
Disciplinary action for rule infractions:
First offense- 1 race suspension
Second offense- 3 race suspension
Third offense- 1 year suspension
All final decisions are made by Rob Keister.
If for any reason you have a problem with another racer, payout, or how a race was run, you are to take it up with him on a one-on-one basis immediately. Any outbursts in front of other racers will NOT BE TOLERATED and could lead to disciplinary action from the series.
