Qualifying Procedures

All racers will make qualifying runs at the same time with No Exceptions. Any runs made
outside the scheduled qualifying session will not count toward the ladder. Any time a driver
stages and the tree is activated, this will be considered a run. If a driver has a problem, and
backs out of the lights to stage again, that run will not count as a qualifying pass, and will be
considered as an aborted run.

Numbers will be drawn prior to the first round of qualifying to determine the run order for
making qualifying runs. For the first round of qualifying, the odd numbers drawn will take the
left lane, with the even numbers taking the right lane. For the second round of qualifying, the
order is to be reversed, with the driver that ran last in the first round running first in the
second. All qualifying runs will be made side by side unless otherwise specified.

DPM uses the same qualifying ladder as IHRA and NHRA events with cars pairing up for
eliminations as follows: 1-8, 2-7, 3-6, and 4-5. This ladder will be adjusted in the same format
for a 16 car field.

Attendance

All teams are asked to contact Norman Thomas no later than the Thursday night prior to the
scheduled event to confirm their plans to attend. Norman Thomas may be reached my calling

Break Rules

If a car breaks after qualifying and is unable to make the call for first round of eliminations,
the ladder will be adjusted allowing the #9 qualified car to move up to the 8th position. The
car moving into the 8th position will receive $100.00 of qualifying money which was earned
by the broken car during the two qualifying rounds, but was unable to race. If a car breaks
during eliminations, that drivers competition which was previously eliminated, may return to
competition in the broken cars spot. The car that was broken, will receive all the round
money and points for that round, but the car that re-entered the race will receive all monies
and points for future advancement. If that car which was previously eliminated chooses not to
re-enter the race, the fast loser from the previous round may re-enter the race in that
position.

Points

Points will be awarded to each driver attending any race, and there is a possibility of 8 points
awarded at each race. Points will be earned as follows:

3 points---Show for race but DNQ
4 points---First Round Loser
5 points---Second Round Loser
7 points---Runner Up
8 points---Winner

Points are awarded to the team which may involve more than one driver of a particular car
during the season, or a driver that uses more than one car during a season. The points fund
consists of membership dues and $100.00 from each race. The money is then used for our
annual meeting, trophies, and the remainder is divided among the top five points earners
during the season. The payout is as follows:

40%---First Place
20%---Second Place
17%---Third Place
13%---Fourth Place
10%---Fifth Place

Disqualifications

Any car touching a boundary line during eliminations will be disqualified. The starting line
official will make the call which will be Final.
Any behavior found to be unsportsmanlike is grounds for disqualification. This call may be
made by any track official at any time. Although DPM has its own set of guidelines for
appropriate racing behavior, we must also follow the rules of each track we visit.
