PRO / STICK Racing β

 

 

WELCOME!

 

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, please phone 301-416-2319. 

 

PRO STICK CURRENT NEWS

The site was last updated on January 5, 2012 

 

Some current happenings:

 

1.  Mark your calendars now for the banquet on February 25, 2012.  Invitations were mailed on January 5.  The banquet is open to everyone.  If you did not receive an invitation for whatever reason, call Eric at 301-416-2319.  As for pictures, some have been added at the bottom of that section.  Finally, the schedule for 2012 is starting to build and it is posted below. 

       

 

2.  We are sorry to report that Ron Settles had a mild stroke just before the Pittsburgh event.  In fact, he was loaded up and ready to go to the track.  He is home recovering.  All indications are that a full recovery is expected.  Feel free to send cards to his house at 9106 Lela Court, Fort Washington MD, 20744.

Some sponsors updates:

The bounty program:  Phil Marshall is one of our original sponsors.  In recognition of that, and to promote his new division to Marshall Automotive, Gravely Lawn Tractor Sales and Service, the bounty program will undergo a name change.  The program will be called the Marshall Gravely ‘we keep you cutting’ Bonus.  New decals will be available at the track.  You are required to display them on both sides of the car to be eligible for the bonus.  Remember our long time sponsor for your automotive and now, mowing needs!  You may visit www.gravely.com to view company products, or www.philmarshallgravely.com to visit our sponsors site.  Check out the Custom Z section!

Fellow racer Al Matteucci was seriously injured in a racing accident on November 2, 2008.  Al is in great spirits and wants to get back in the car.  However, he will have an extensive recovery period.  Al will need a very expensive wheelchair during his rehabilitation.  Our group is selling decals in an effort to offset the cost of the wheelchair.  The decal as pictured above is 4 ½ inches in diameter.  They are being sold for a suggested donation of $20 each, but any smaller or larger donation will be accepted in return for a decal.  All of this money goes directly to Al.  The decals will be available at the track through Paul Hillier or Eric Kitchen.  You may also send a check made payable to Al to Pro Stick Racing, 115 Orchard Drive, Boonsboro MD 21713.  Please state the number of decals wanted.

 

UPDATE – Al has moved in to his new home in Virginia.  The address is below, he is about twenty minutes away from the dragstrip in Manassas.  Al continues to make progress slowly.    

 

Al Matteucci

3846 Mulberry Point Court

Dumfries, VA  22025

 

Please continue to remember Al in your thoughts and prayers, send him a card, or give him a call at 703-965-1749.

The driver will also receive the bye run for first round if there is an odd number of cars.  To avoid confusion at the drivers meeting, bring your time slips if you think you qualify for the best reaction time.  The reaction time award applies only to runs made during the Pro Stick time run sessions that we make as a group.  Note: All time run sessions count toward the reaction award.

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.

 

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).

 

2.  The class ET cut-off is 7.50 through 11.49 in the quarter mile.  (4.75 through 7.39 eighth mile)

 

RULE EXCEPTION for cars running 11.50 through 11.99 (7.40 through 7.65 1/8 mile).  These cars may run if you meet any one of the following criteria stated in 2a, 2b, or 2c.

 

2a)  If you traveled with the group from track to track running at least five events in 2007, and at least five events in 2008, you are grandfathered in and you may run.

 

2b)  If your car is a legal, currently registered NHRA or IHRA stock class car, you may run.

 

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, electronic or otherwise.

 

5.  MSD type ignition and/or 2 step / 3 step is permitted.

 

6.  No street legal tires are permitted on the rear axle.

 

7.  No dragsters allowed.

 

8.  No front wheel drive vehicles allowed.

 

9.  No hydraulic throw-out bearings with release buttons allowed.

 

10.  Once in eliminations, you must drive the same car in all rounds.  This rule does not apply to a run-off of a rain-out of a previous event.  

 

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 starting in 2010.

 

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.  Call Warren at 717-624-8181 for more information.   

 

Event Registration and Drivers Meeting:

The racer entry fee for all races will be $40 unless otherwise posted on this web site per event.  The entry fee is paid at the gate.  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 so that he knows who needs to be at the drivers meeting.  Let him know if you have a problem and cannot make first round.

 

The drivers meeting is usually 15 minutes after our last time run session at Eric’s trailer, please plan accordingly.  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.  In the event that we have over 30 cars, first round pairings may be random.  Our meeting will then be about 15 minutes after first round, and we will establish our ladder sheet.    

Bye Runs:  Of all the drivers appearing for first round of eliminations, the driver with the best reaction time during all time run sessions will receive the bye run if there is an odd number of cars.  Bye runs needed for all other rounds go to the winning driver having the best reaction time in the previous round. It is the drivers option to make the run or not on a bye.  Bye run cars always go to the top of the ladder for the next round.  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.  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. 

 

Rain:  Many 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.

 

Clarifications on elapsed times and car counts:

Due to ever increasing car counts, and to avoid more rounds, we will put a cap on the field.  64 cars will be the maximum number of cars that will be allowed to run eliminations.  If there are over 64 cars at the track, we will simply qualify the fastest 64, and then run two rounds of random before going on a ladder.  If there are over 64 cars and a driver does not qualify, there will be no refunds. 

 

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.  Each driver receives 10 show-up points per event.  You will get the points for showing up with the intent of running with the group even if you broke before eliminations, or you do not qualify as described above.  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.  Additional points are awarded at each event as follows:

Ψ      an extra 11 points to the winner

Ψ      an extra 7 points to the runner-up

Ψ      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.
