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.
PRO STICK NEWS
The site was last updated on March 3, 2015
2015
makes 20 years of PRO / STICK!!
Our 2015 Schedule is finalized!
The banquet was held on February
28. About 170 attended. Please see Todd’s site at www.tdspeedshotz.com for pictures! Two key announcements were made at the
banquet:
1. There will be an article in an upcoming issue of the National
Dragster about our group and our twentieth year of racing!
2. The IDG East Coast Stick Nationals to be held at MIR on September
19 and 20 will be broadcast live on Motor Mania TV!
More News:
1.
Our schedule is finalized and posted in the usual spot way below. There were a few guys from our group
thinking of going down to Farmington Dragway in North Carolina to their big
stick race in May. Unfortunately, that
race is scheduled on the same Saturday as our opening points race at Beaver
Springs.
2.
Clarified delay device rule for 2015!
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.
3.
SRS Fitness (Mark Petit Demange) will sponsor the bounty program in
2015. 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.
4.
SAFETY - We wish to stress the importance of safety. The safety equipment is there for YOU. Tighten your seat belts, strap your helmet
firmly, were 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.
5.
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. ARC also now offers either a bolt on or weld
on header collector retention device which has been approved by NHRA to comply
with the new rule. For more information
call ARC at 717-624-8181.

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).
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. 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.
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.
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 $45 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.
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. 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. 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.
