PRO STICK Racing â

 

 

WELCOME!

 

Real Race Cars Have A Clutch!  By popular demand, in 1996 a few long time stick shift bracket racers got together and held a race at the famed 75-80 dragway in Maryland.  The class became known as Pro Stick.  Over the years since, this Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia based group continues to attract new cars and grow in spectator popularity.  This site is intended to provide some general information to our racers and fans.  You will find current news, a list of our supporters, our rules, the schedule, race results, and series points.  For additional information other than what is provided below, or to purchase our Real Race Cars logo T-Shirts etc., please phone 301-416-2319.

Celebrating over twenty years of PRO / STICK!!

 

Congratulations go out to James and Crystal Smith for winning the 2016 Pro Stick Series Championship!!  With only one points race remaining, it is mathematically impossible for anyone to take away their lead.

 

The North and South come together for one big show – October 1:

We will have a $2,000 to win event THIS SATURDAY at Eastside Dragway in Waynesboro Virginia as cars from the Gear Jammers and Pro Stick join together for one big race.  Gates open at 9:00, time runs begin at 11:30.  ARC Racecars is posting $100 extra to the winner if their decal is on the car!  Also, we have $50 up for grabs for the first driver who cuts a .000 light in eliminations!  The entry fee is $60 with round money starting at second round losers.  Monies are paid out in the tower.  There will be no buy-backs.  Two time runs guaranteed.  Double show up points awarded for this last points race of the season.  The rain date is Sunday, October 2.  Eastside notes:  Parking is permitted on Friday.  This race is 1/8 mile, but Eastside is a former quarter mile track, so there is plenty of shutdown room.  Depending on where you park, you may have to make a U-turn to get into the staging lanes.  There is a U-turn road especially for that.  Please familiarize yourself with the track before you make runs.  There is not usually a time slip booth at this track, unless they do something special for this event.  You may have to send a crew member to the base of the timing tower to get your time slips.

 

South Mountain Raceway – October 9

South Mountain Raceway in Boiling Springs PA will have a Footbrake / Stick combo race on October 9.  SRS Fitness and ARC Racecars are sponsors of the race which includes a bonus if you are a stick car.  See www.southmountainraceway.com for details.

 

Virginia Motorsports Park anyone – October 29?  VMP recently called Eric to inquire about some cars coming to their nostalgia race on October 29.  If we can come up with at least a 16 car field, we can entertain the thought of going, after we see what arrangements we can make with the track.  This would be a quarter mile race just for the fun of it, no points.  Eric will compile a list of those interested in going, give him a call, or see him at Waynesboro if you are interested in going to VMP.

 

******************************************************************************

 

Warren Frank of ARC Race Cars will soon be celebrating forty years in business!  To promote that, he will continue to sponsor our reaction time award AND new for 2016, he is posting a $100 contingency to the winner of each event.  This extra $100 is over and above our normal purse.  You must display the ARC decal on both sides of the car to be eligible for the contingency. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Points Program Modifications:

After much thought and some conversations, in an effort to attract a few more cars at select events, the following changes are effective immediately.

 

1.  At the last race of the year you will get double show-up points (20). 

 

2.  At all 1/8 mile races, no matter where it is, you will get double show-up points (20).

 

More News:

 

1.  Clarified delay device rule!  Rule number 4 now reads – Absolutely no type of delay devices are permitted.  A delay device is ANY mechanism, electronic or otherwise, that can be adjusted to create ANY delay between the driver reacting to the tree, and the car moving forward. 

 

2.  SRS Fitness (Mark Petit Demange) will sponsor the bounty program in 2016.  You must display his SRS Fitness decal on both sides of the car (or truck) to claim the bounty.  Eric will have the decals at the track.

 

3.  SAFETY - We wish to stress the importance of safety.  The safety equipment is there for YOU.  Tighten your seat belts, strap your helmet firmly, wear your neck collar and other required equipment.  If your car runs in the eight second zone, strongly consider purchasing a Hans device.  ARC Race Cars has a deal on those devices.  It only takes one accident for a life changing event, don’t think it can’t happen to you.  Be proactive and protect yourself.

 

4.  ARC Racecars continues to sponsor the reaction time award.  You must display the ARC decal on both sides of the car in order to receive the money.  Eric will have the decals available in his trailer. 

 

5.  Todd Dziadosz attends many events and our banquet.  He continues to send in either updated car pictures, or ones that had not been on the site before.  If you would like the photo of your car updated, please contact Todd through www.tdspeedshotz.com and he will take care of you, and check out his site for pictures! 

 

6.  Al Matteucci has dropped the price on his motor home.  It is a 1983 Coachmen / Ford chassis, 460 engine, 63K miles, 23 foot.  The Coachmen is in nice shape and has no rust.  Al is asking $1,000 or best offer!  Call Al at 703-965-1749.

 

7.  Two-steps allowed in footbrake class:  Three tracks will now allow stick cars to compete in their footbrake bracket classes WITH two-steps.  This new rule will be in effect starting in 2016 at Cecil County (including the Jim Harrington Footbrake Classic on 9/24-25), Maple Grove, and Atco.  If you are looking for something extra on our Pro Stick off weekends, now you know these tracks have officially changed their rules thanks to Mark Petit DeMange.

PRO STICK CLASS RULES AND SAFETY INFORMATION

 

WARNING

 

Drag racing is hazardous.  Injury to participants or spectators is possible in all areas of the racetrack.  Promoters, organizers, etc. assume no liability for injuries.  You are attending the event at your own risk.  Your attendance acknowledges your acceptance of all risks associated with racing, and releases all other parties from any liability.

 

Always keep your speeds down in the pit area to 5 MPH or less.  There are spectators, small children, golf carts, etc. moving around all the time, and they are not always paying attention.

 

1.  The vehicle must use a transmission that is clutch operated off of the starting line.  A clutchless type transmission is also permitted (lenco type or similar).

2c)  If your vehicle is a 1979 model year or older, you may run.

 

3.  The class will run on a five tenths bracket style full tree with handicap dial in.

 

4.  Absolutely no type of delay devices are permitted.  A delay device is ANY mechanism, electronic or otherwise, that can be adjusted to create ANY delay between the driver reacting to the tree, and the car moving forward.

11.  Courtesy staging is recommended.  Wait until both cars are pre-staged before either car stages.

 

12.  NHRA, IHRA, or other host track sanctioning body, and local rules apply.

 

13.  Absolutely no use of drugs or alcohol will be tolerated. 

 

14.  The use of nitrous oxide is NOT permitted by anyone.

 

15.  In appreciation of our sponsors, it is suggested that their decals be displayed on both sides of the car.

 

16.  During random elimination rounds, once you pull in to the staging lanes and have secured your spot, do not move your car in an effort to avoid running any particular opponent, or in an effort to run a particular opponent.

 

 

ADDITIONAL GENERAL INFORMATION

 

It is the responsibility of the driver to take their car to the pre-race tech. Inspection.  The host track officials will check driver credentials/safety equipment, and vehicle safety equipment as described in the NHRA/IHRA rulebook.  The track may disqualify any driver or vehicle for failure to meet these requirements.  All drivers must be a dues paying member of the sanctioning bodies of NHRA and IHRA.  The decision of host track officials regarding win/loss disputes, crossing of boundaries, or infractions of any rules (sanctioning body or local) is final.

 

Safety Suggestions For Your Own Good:

1.  If you are unfamiliar with a track, always look around before making any runs to get yourself familiar with the surroundings and operation of the track.  Pay special attention to the shut down area of the drag strip should any emergency type situation occur.

2.  Consider wearing a SFI neck collar no matter how fast your car is.

3.  Tighten down your seat AND shoulder belts before every run.  Loose belts will do you no good.  

 

Warren Frank is working a deal to get a group discount for anyone who is interested in purchasing a Hans device.  A sportsman model is available that you can easily put on yourself after you are in the car.  ARC also offers bolt on or weld on header collector retention devices as approved by NHRA.  Call Warren at 717-624-8181 for more information.   

 

Event Registration and Drivers Meeting:

The racer entry fee for all races will be $50 unless otherwise posted on this web site per event.  The entry fee is paid at the gate.  Anyone can run with the group as long as they meet the specific track rules, and our group rules.  Check the white board in Eric’s trailer for pertinent information pertaining to each event.  You can locate the trailer by looking for the Pro / Stick Racing flag at the yellow Chevelle H118.  Make sure Eric knows you are at the track for tracking of your points.  Let Eric know of breakage if you can not run.  There are no refunds for breakage if you pulled in to the staging lanes to attempt at least one time run.    

 

The drivers meeting is usually 15 minutes after first round of eliminations at Eric’s trailer, please plan accordingly.  First round of eliminations is always random pairings.  At the meeting, we will establish our race ladder sheet by drawing cards.  We use a bracket type ladder sheet as is used at local tracks. Lane choice may be discussed and determined by a coin flip.     

Bye Runs:  

 

Bye run for first round:  Of all cars appearing for first round of eliminations, the driver with the best reaction time during our time run session(s) will earn the potential bye run and $25 from ARC Race Cars.  Both time run sessions count toward earning the potential first round bye, the best light regardless of which session earns it.  To determine a winner in the event of a tie – If there is a tie BETWEEN time run sessions, the first session driver gets the bye.  If there is a tie DURING the same session, we choose from those same drivers in the OTHER session. Check the board in Eric’s trailer for the car number, especially if YOU had a good light, sometimes the track makes mistakes on the run sheets! 

 

 

During random rounds, if at the end of the line the bye run car has a car to race, the bye run car gets lane choice.  

 

Round two and beyond: the bye run goes to the winning driver having the best reaction time in the previous round.  If there is a tie, we look back to the previous round (or time session if need be) for those same drivers to determine the bye.

 

When we establish a pairing sheet, bye run cars go to the top of the sheet for the next round.

 

The bye run car should always pull to the designated bye run spot at a specific track.  Depending on specific track rules, bye run cars may or may not have to go down the track, but under full power is at the drivers option.  One bye run per car per event maximum.

 

Break Runs:  After the ladder has been established at the meeting, if a car cannot make a run, the competitor gets a single run and this does not count as a bye run. Single runs are conducted as stated in the sanctioning rulebook.

 

Win/Loss:  If you lose, you are out even if your competition breaks after you lost.  An example of an exception to this would be as stated in the sanctioning rulebook under disqualifications regarding crossing of boundaries (track officials make these calls).  Also, you or your crew must check your dial on the scoreboards before pre-staging.  Be proactive and be responsible, there have been cases where the track makes mistakes.  No reruns due to incorrect dial-ins. 

 

The Bounty Contest:

SRS Fitness will sponsor the bounty program in 2015.  The winner of the previous event will have a $25 bounty on their head.  The driver who beats the winner of that previous event will receive the $25.  You must display the SRS Fitness decal on both sides of the car to claim the bounty.  Eric will have the decals in his trailer.

 

Rain:  Some races have a posted rain date on the schedule.  If no elimination rounds start, it can be expected that we will run the event on the posted rain date.  In the event of rain after eliminations start, a decision will be made depending on the particular situation.  Some example situations would include:

1.  If a few rounds have been completed, we will usually split the purse among the remaining drivers.

2.  If we are down to the last round or two, the purse may be split, or we may run the cars off at another date as decided on by the remaining drivers vote.  If we have a tied vote, the cars are to be run off at a later date. 

3.  If an early round starts and it rains before the round is complete, a decision will be made depending on the exact situation.  Winners so far during the round will receive their points. 

4.  If a late round starts and it rains before the round is complete, a decision will be made depending on the exact situation.  Winners so far during the round will receive their points.  Drivers still in will vote to make a decision.  If we have a tied vote, the cars are to be run off at a later date. 

 

Other:

Make sure Eric has your current address and car number.  Don’t use your engine size or the year of your car for your number.  That is not a unique idea and duplicate numbers show up in the computer.  Keep in mind that the track employees change.  They may not know how our program works.  Staging officials may need reminded that we are on a ladder, etc.  From time to time, tracks at the start of our first time trial will by mistake give us a Pro tree.  If that happens, do not go down the track.  Instead just back out, cut the engine off, inform the starter accordingly that we run on a full five tenths tree.  

 

Clarification on car counts:

The 64 maximum car count is no longer.  If there are over 64 cars, we will run two rounds of random before holding our meeting and going on a ladder.   

 

Points:

There is no charge to join the points tracking program.  The points program is just for fun and bragging rights.  It is a good idea to track your own points as a double check and let Eric know if issues.  Each driver receives 10 show-up points per event at a quarter mile track, or 20 show-up points per event at an eighth mile track.  You will get the points for showing up with the intent of running with the group even if you broke before eliminations.  Intent of running is indicated by bringing your car to the track, paying your entry fee at the gate, and filling out/turning in a tech card.  Each driver also receives 10 points for each round won including bye runs or singles if your competition broke.  The reaction winner of each event will receive 5 points. 

Special note for the last race of the year:

You get 20 show up points regardless if it is quarter mile or eighth mile track. 

 

Additional points are awarded at each event as follows:

Ø     an extra 11 points to the winner

Ø     an extra 7 points to the runner-up

Ø     an extra 3 points for a semi-final loss

 

 

Tie breaker rule to determine the series champion (if necessary):

If at the end of the season there are multiple drivers tied in points for the championship, we will determine the champion from those tied drivers by naming the driver with the most event wins throughout the season.
