Beacon Combo Rules (a.k.a. Union Hill rules)
1. Tech card. must have number, class, class index for 1/8 mile, minimum weight, advertised hp., factored hp. and trans type. Tech card must be turned in and ladder position established before making any run.
2. Ladder. It will be a draw ladder without qualifying. When a racer turns in a tech card they will blind draw a number from a pool of 30 or more chips. The number drawn will be place the racer is on the ladder. Who ever draws #30 will receive a bye if odd number of cars first round.
3. Race procedures. #1 vs. #2, #3 vs. #4, and so on. If there is a gap in the numbers the next filled number will make up the next pair. Ex. #5 vs. #6 but #6, #7 not drawn so #5 would run #8 the next number used. When called for elimination pairs will run in numerical order with the lowest numbered pair first and will continue in that same order until racing is completed. Ex. round one run order, #1 vs.#2, #3 vs. #4, #5 vs.#8, #9 vs. #11. Round two run order winner of 1vs2 races winner 3vs4and so on. If a racer draws #1 that person will always be the first pair out as long as they remain in competition. The lowest numbered pair of cars will always be the first pair out in any round, followed by the next lowest numbered pair. Lane choice by coin flip.
4. Byes. Byes do not carry over. No driver will have two byes until everyone left in competition has received a bye. Byes will be performance based. The bye for round 2 if needed will be the winning competitor from round 1 that goes farthest under their dial. Ex. #1 vs. #2, # 2 red lights # 1 goes -.031 under, #3 vs. #4 is a heads up NHRA run # 4 runs -.453 under the dial of the national index, #5 vs. # 8, #8 wins by going .002 over the dial. If a bye was needed in round 3 it would go to #4 for running the farthest under. #1 would race #8 in in the first pair in round three. After the bye run # 4 would be reinserted in the ladder in normal position and would race the winner of #1 vs. #8
5. Heads up. NHRA classes each car will weigh before entering staging lanes, must meet min. wt. at scales before going to staging. NSS do not have to weigh since they run of off index with breakout in effect.
