NEW FOR 2013
The
full Speed Unlimited ET Series program with points will be
run on Saturday of the IHRA Pro Am Tour. The Pro Am Tour
will be held on July 12-14. This will also be an Ironman
Classic event so all ET winners will receive IHRA Ironman
Trophies. In Top ET, throttle stops will be permitted for
this one race (as in the past). Attention IHRA Quick Rod,
Super Rod and Hot Rod racers - if you use your throttle stop
in the ET race you must stay on your 90 dial-in. In Mod ET,
transbrakes will not be permitted so IHRA Stock and Super
Stock racers that have transbrakes must run Top ET or
disconnect the button on the steering wheel and footbrake
the car in eliminations.

NEW FOR 2013
The
Speed Unlimited Midnight Madness Grand Champion Runoff will
take place on Saturday, November 2, 2013 at the World Cup
Finals. To qualify for this runoff, you must be a Pro
Street, Pro Street Quick 8 and/or Super Street winner from
any Midnight Madness during the current season. All
qualifiers will run one eliminator together as a whole using
random pairings with a deck of cards.
|
- Attention Mod
ET Racers, make sure your cars are legal for MIR MOD ET
class rules. No Delay boxes can be in the car at all and no
2 steps permitted, unless it is a manual transmission car.
Also, there are no air or electric shifters permitted. If
you have an air shifter mounted, the air line must be
disconnected at the shifter and the air bottle removed from
the car. On electric shifters, the wire must be disconnected
near the shifter, rolled up and put in a place out of reach
from the driver.
|
|
|
- For all 2-day
ET races (including the 10K-2K Poker Bash, Top ET 5K Triple
Header and the Raider Challenge events), Motorcycle ET will
run with points on both Saturdays and Sundays.
|
|
|
- Ignition
limiters and/or any ignition controls used to excessively
slow the car down are prohibited. In other words, any
ignition device that would act like a throttle stop to
excessively slow the ET of a vehicle is considered an
illegal device. If you are unsure whether or not your set up
is legal, please check with a tech official for
confirmation.
|
- Points
membership into the Speed Unlimited ET Series is still FREE
for all classes! Your purchase of a tech card at any ET
points race includes automatic free enrollment into the
points series.
|
- The 2013 IHRA
Summit Team Finals roster will include 17 cars in Top ET, 13
cars in Modified ET and 10 Junior Dragsters. Top ET will
consist of the top eight in the 1/4 mile points plus the top
eight in the 1/8 mile points as well as one Wildcard. Mod ET
will consist of the top six in the 1/4 mile points plus the
top six in the 1/8 mile points as well as one Wildcard.
Junior Dragster will be the top nine in points plus one
Wildcard.
|

- Test & Tune
tech cards are available on all Saturday Speed Unlimited ET
Series events for only $30 each and include up to 4 runs.
|
- On all races
with a Mulligan, the winner of the drawing that is put back
in the race will earn points for each additional round won
as do other re-entry racers. The Mulligan will not receive
points for any rounds missed.
|
- On all ET
races, the fee for time runs made during late elimination
rounds is $10 per pass. All monies collected will go to
benefit the racer's fund.
|
- The timeout on
the Compulink AUTOSTART system for all ET classes is 10
seconds (with the exception of Junior Dragster, which is set
at 15 seconds). All Pro Tree classes are set at a 7 second
timeout.

- The WildCard
Race for the last three qualifying positions for team MIR (1
Top, 1 Mod and 1 Junior) will be held on Saturday, August
31, 2013. To qualify for the WildCard Race, drivers must be
listed on the points roster by the first Saturday in August
and must have run a minimum of 3 points races. The entry fee
for the WildCard race will be $20; all money collected will
go to the racer’s fund.
|
- All racers are
encouraged to check their points weekly. There will be no
corrections made after 30 days from the event.
|
- Always be sure
to check that the number on your timeslip is correct on
EVERY RUN as points are only awarded to the number on the
timeslip. If your timeslip reflects a wrong number, bring
your slip to race control or notify a track official so that
we can correct the error and adjust your points.
|
- JUNIOR DRAGTER
RAINOUT POLICY: Because Juniors run earlier in the day, if
they complete first round or more and the event was to be
cancelled - points will be awarded for all completed rounds.
All drivers left in competition will receive their choice of
a trophy or a free car and driver entry pass. This would
also be considered a completed event and there will be no
rainchecks for either the driver entry or the crew.
