PRO
/ STICK Racing â
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 February 1, 2010.
Some current happenings:
1.
The annual banquet is on February 27, 2010. If you wish to attend the banquet, get your information in ASAP
or contact Eric at 301-416-2319. The
counts are very light this year. We
request that everyone pay in advance if possible. A firm count of attendees is needed for the Legion contract three
weeks in advance, and we can make only minor adjustments after that. No tickets are mailed out, we simply check a
list at the door of who has paid.
2.
McLeod Racing is under new ownership and they are back on board with us
for 2010. See their new website at www.mcleodracing.com and note the new
information. We will have new decals
and catalogs available at the banquet.
Also remember that Warren Frank is a McLeod dealer.
Some sponsors updates from last year:
Autofab Race Cars will continue their support
for 2009. All Pro Stick racers will
receive a 5% discount on all purchases.
Winners who display the decals will get a $100 gift certificate good
towards Autofab products (valued at $200 or more) and labor only.
The bounty program will be modified for
2009. 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.
The program will work exactly as in the past, but with a nice addition
at the end of the season. The points
champion will be presented with a Gravely push mower valued at $500 at the
awards banquet! 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!

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 - On 9/27/09 Al indicated that he will be going back to
Virginia to his new home by approximately October 1. The address is below, he is about twenty minutes away from the
dragstrip in Manassas. Al continues to
make progress slowly. He expects to be
able to feed himself in a month or two.

Point Court

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

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 entry fee for all races will be $40, which is paid
at the gate for car and driver. 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. 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:
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.
