The Tree
Getting a good reaction time at the starting line (better known as cutting a light) all
starts with the Christmas Tree. A “good light,” will give you a big advantage over
your opponent, especially if you are running the slower car.
In simple terms, the Tree is a set of vertical lights that gives the driver a visual
countdown to the start of a race.
Referring to the illustration, the lights are as follows, from top:
Pre-Stage Indicator Lights - Round yellow bulbs that warn you when you are getting
close to the starting line and the “staged” (ready to race) position.
Stage Indicator Lights - Second set of round yellow bulbs that tell you when you are on
the starting line and ready to race. The bulbs light up when the front wheels of the car cross a
beam of light that goes to a set of photo cells. These cells trigger the timer when the car leaves
the light beam.
Countdown Lights - Round amber floodlights that count down to the green “go” light.
There are two types of countdowns, or starts. The pro start flashes all three lights
simultaneously, with a .400 second difference between the amber and green lights. This is
called a Pro or .400 Tree. The bracket start flashes one light at a time, with a .500 second
difference between the last amber and the green light. This is known as a .500 or sportsman
Tree.
Green Light - This is the one you’re waiting for. When the green light flashes, it means
you’re free to mash the gas pedal and make a run. This is called the launch.
Red Light - If this bottom bulb flashes, you’re out. The red light will go off when you
leave the starting line before the green light is activated, resulting in a disqualification. Known
as redlighting, this action automatically gives the win to your opponent. Most drivers try to
begin their launch just as the last of the three amber lights goes off. That puts the car in motion
when the green light activates. This is where most bracket races are won or lost, so time
practicing your staging and launching techniques is time well spent.

RMR FLUID LEAKAGE / TRACK CLEAN-UP POLICY
In an effort to eliminate downtime associated due to the cleanup of automotive fluids, Rocky Mountain Raceways
has put in place a policy for teams who deposit fluids on the racing surface. Fluids included in this policy include, but are
not limited to: oil, transmission fluid, antifreeze and rear-end lubricants.
A violation is defined as any incident requiring the use of mechanical equipment (i.e. tractor, trucks, and/or sweeper) to
clean-up fluids. Spills or drops of fluid cleaned up by hand are not considered violations and penalties will not apply.
On occasion, equipment will be used to “touch-up” the racing surface – such maintenance is not considered a
violation. Depositing fuel or fire extinguisher liquid on the track surface is not classified as a violation and will not be
penalized under this policy.
A clean-up resulting from a crash will not result in a penalty unless the accident was a result of depositing fluids
on the track. Should an opposing driver cross the centerline resulting in contact with the other vehicle and thereby causing
the spill, penalties will only apply to the vehicle crossing the centerline. This policy encompasses the entire length of the
track surface. Track surface includes the area where the vehicles are started, the burn-out box, the starting line, the 1/4
mile, and the shutdown area to the point the vehicle exits.
If a driver takes immediate action to terminate his run, pulls out of the racing groove and immediately attempts to
stop the leak, his violation may be waived at the sole discretion of the event director.
The Race Operations and Safety teams of Rocky Mountain Raceways will maintain consistency in the uniform
enforcement of this policy. Additionally, the Tech team will thoroughly inspect vehicles following a violation to
determine the source of a fluid leak and advise the competitors on correcting the problem. In addition, the Tech team will
inspect the competing vehicle prior to its next run.
Penalties
One-Day Event: (2 violations maximum) Driver will receive one warning to correct the problem to their car. A second
violation will result in immediate disqualification from the event. Policy will be enforced during all time trials, qualifying
runs and eliminations.
Multi-Day Event: (3 violations maximum) For all multi-day events, the driver will be disqualified once they have
committed three violations of the policy provided no more than two of the violations have occurred on the same day.
Example: A driver receives two violations on the first day of event qualifying. He will be permitted to return on the
second day but will receive an immediate disqualification on his next infraction.
-OrA driver completes the first day of the event with no violations. On the second day of the event he/she violates the policy
on each of his/her first two runs. Driver will receive an immediate disqualification from the event following the second
violation of the day.
Any participant demonstrating a flagrant disregard or continual violation of the policy will be subject to additional
punitive action as deemed appropriate by the Manager or Event Director of Drag Racing Operations for Rocky Mountain
Raceways at his sole and absolute discretion. Such action may involve monetary fines, points deducted, denial to
participate in special events, and/or suspension of competition privileges.
The Manager or Event Director’s decision is final in determining fluid leakage violations. There is no provision for review
of the Manager or Event Director, his designee or other event officials at racing events. The reason for this is to insure that
there can be finality with regard to the events that are run. To provide for an appeal of all actions or inactions of a
Manager or Event Director would result in a delay in the determination of literally every event. Such interminable delays
would not be acceptable to the sport, the participants, and the spectators. While the decision of the Manager or Event
Director is not subject to appeal, Rocky Mountain Raceways reserves the right to reverse decisions or review actions or
inactions at various events on its own initiative as it determines, in its sole and absolute judgment, are warranted.
APPLICATION OF POLICY: This policy will be in effect at all events produced and officiated by the Race
Operations team for Rocky Mountain Raceways.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN RACEWAYS
RACER INFORMATION AND RULES
APPAREL: Each member of a participant crew must be fully attired when present in the staging, starting, and
competition areas of the race track. SHOES ARE MANDATORY. ALL individuals in the RESTRICTED
AREA’S must have CLOSED TOE shoes on, NO SANDLES, FLIP-FLOP’S or BARE FEET.
SHORTS, BARE LEGS, TANK TOPS, OR BARE TORSOS ARE PROHIBITED WHEN DRIVING IN
ANY CLASS. NHRA Rule in Gen. Regs. Sec 20 page 40, 10:1 and JR. Rulebook in Driver: 10/Apparel.
AUXILIARY PIT VEHICLES: ONE per participant. All contestants using auxiliary pit vehicles (mini-bikes,
golf carts, ATV’s, bicycles, etc.) MUST have their competition number displayed on their vehicle. All
auxiliary pit vehicles must be used for necessary transportation only. NO recreational or fun riding allowed.
NO DRIVERS UNDER 16 YEARS OF AGE PERMITTED. NO type of auxiliary transportation will be
allowed in the Grandstand areas... FEET ONLY! NO SKATEBOARDS, ROLLERBLADES OR SCOOTERS.
BOUNDARY LINES: In determining lane boundary crossing violations, it is considered a disqualification
when any portion of a tire completely crosses the painted line surface. Anytime it has been judged that
excessive braking has resulted in the loss of control as to cause contact with the guardrail, timing fixtures, or
crossing the center boundary lines - INCLUDING PAST THE FINISH LINE - the contestant will be
disqualified.
BREAK-OUT RULES: Contestants who race below their dial-in or below the category standard during
eliminations will be disqualified, with the following exceptions:
1) When an opponent foul starts or crosses a boundary line.
2) On a single run.
3) When both drivers run under, the driver that is the least under is the winner.
Chassis Certification: 9.999 or quicker or faster than 135 MPH.
COMPETITION NUMBERS: Must be displayed in an appropriate manner, location and visible from right
side of vehicle. Permanent numbers, or painted numbers, should be at least 6-inches high and 1-inch wide.
Motorcycles must have a number plate, or acceptable alternative. Super Pro, Pro, Top Dragster,
Top Sportsman, ET Motorcycle/Snowmobile, and Jr. Dragsters must have a permanent number. NO shoe polish
allowed.
COMPUTERS IN CAR: During competition, a portable computer (e.g., Laptop, PDA, Palm Pilot,
Programmer, etc.) must be securely mounted when located in driver’s compartment at any point beyond the
staging area ready line. All functions or values must be preset prior to this point.
COMPUTER MALFUNCTIONS: In the event that the Timing Computer should malfunction due to
circumstances beyond our control, the following procedures will be used. This rule is for electronic
malfunctions only. It does not apply to human error or incorrect dial-ins. The only interpretation of this rule is
that which is decided upon by the Track Manager or Race/Tech Director.
TIME TRIALS: Vehicles must stop at ET Shed and then they may proceed to the lanes for a make-up
run. NO make-up runs will be allowed after the second session of Time Trials.
ELIMINATIONS: Both vehicles advance to the next round providing there were no other rule
infractions by either competitor. IE: red-light, crossing boundaries.
15
COOLING: Minimum 1 pint catch can mandatory on all vehicles. All cooling procedures must be done in a
contestants pit area or designated area, if available. Contestants may utilize small water sprayers for spraying
radiators while in the pre-staging only, however, excessive water spillage must be controlled. Water or ice that
is used for cooling down can result in a disqualification if your vehicle is dripping on the starting line. It is
strongly preferred that all vehicles run water only. Any vehicle, participating in the following Summit ET Series
classes (Super Pro, Pro, Sportsman, MC/Snow, Top Sportsman and Top Dragster) WILL NOT be allowed
to use any form of automotive antifreeze, water wetter type, etc…! Only water will be allowed. Any car or
motorcycle caught using antifreeze, water wetter type, etc will be immediately disqualified from that day’s
event and any points earned for that event will be removed.
This will be a zero-tolerance rule and NO WARNINGS will be given!
COURTESY STAGING: It is REQUIRED that all competitors show courtesy to other competitors by using
the courtesy staging procedures. Courtesy Staging is when both vehicles Pre-Stage before either competitor
stages. So basically if you Pre-Stage first, please wait for the other competitor to Pre-Stage before you Stage
your vehicle.
CREDENTIALS:
RESTRICTED AREA PASSES:
Each PARTICIPANT and crew member must have a restricted area pass on to be in the
restricted areas of RMR.
RESTRICTED AREA will be defined as the following:
1) Advanced staging area.
2) Burnout and adjacent areas.
3) Drag strip, chase lane and shut down area.
4) Return road to ET SHED.
5) Any other area within the barriers, fences, and/or structures separating the general public from
the racing activities.
MINOR WAIVER: Must follow current RMR Minor Waiver Policy.
RUN CARDS: Will only be issued if a vehicle passes tech. You must have your Run Card with you to enter
staging lanes. Run cards are only good for the event that they were issued for. A run card does not guarantee
more than one qualifying session.
TECH CARDS: Must be filled out completely, legibly, and signed, before going to tech or to pre staging.
WAIVER AND RELEASE: All competitors and crew members that are going to be in a restricted area must
sign a “Waiver and Release”. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE SIGNING A RELEASE... KNOW
WHAT IT SAYS... COPIES WILL BE AVAILABLE. By signing this “Waiver and Release” it means that you
understand that you will be entering a restricted area at your own risk, and accept total responsibility for
anything that may happen to you.
CREWMEMBERS: Must also adhere to all NHRA and ROCKY MOUNTAIN RACEWAYS rules and
regulations. It is ultimately the driver’s responsibility to insure that his crew behaves accordingly.
DECALS: Each participant must display the appropriate series decal to be eligible for event and year-end
championship awards. If running Nitrous, N2O decals must be displayed.
DEEP STAGING: Competitors Deep Staging must do so very promptly after courtesy staging but need not
have “deep” on their vehicles. Deep Staging is prohibited in Top Dragster & Top Sportsman.
DEFINITION OF ELECTRONICS: Automated shifters, electronic throttle timers/stops, drive wheel linelocks and any aftermarket electronics; i.e. delay boxes, counters, timers, etc. may be prohibited and MUST be
removed from vehicle. See class designation for ruling. 2 step rev-limiters are allowed as long as they are
not used as a down track timing device. Trans Brakes are not allowed in Street Legal except where noted.
16
DIAL-INS: Each competitor will be responsible for checking to see that his or her dial-in is correct before
staging. If there is any question regarding your dial-in, DO NOT stage your car. NO RE-RUNS will be allowed
due to incorrect dial-ins. Please make sure that your dial-in is visible and legible. You Stage... You Accept It.
Dial in must be on the vehicle before it leaves the staging lanes. Dial-ins must be visible from the front,
right side and rear. (Not on tires, cowlings, or top of scoops.) REMEMBER, before you pre-stage your
vehicle, look at the Dial-in Boards or the Scoreboard’s and verify your Dial-in, if it is correct, stage, if not,
notify the starting line officials before you pre-stage.
DRIVING PROCEDURES WHEN BREAKAGE OCCURS: If a vehicle experiences damage or breakage
during a time, qualifying or competition run, the driver needs to move the vehicle to the wall and STOP!! This
technique will prevent unnecessary track cleanup. If everyone abides by this theory, we will be able to resume
racing activities in a much faster fashion. Refer to the BREAKAGE page of this book.
DRUGS AND ALCOHOL: ZERO TOLERANCE - Any driver, parent or pit crew member found to be
under the influence of alcoholic beverages or drugs, regardless of amount, will be ejected from the event, and
referred to NHRA and West Valley City Police. Such a condition is cause for suspension and/or revocation of
competition privileges and possible loss of all accumulated points.
ET MOTORCYCLE SPECIFIC: See 2015 NHRA rulebook sec 4C, page 12
FIRE EXTINGUISHER: RMR recommends all competitors have in their pit area a minimum of 2-1/2 pound
current certified fire extinguisher. It is also recommended that all competitors utilizing tow vehicles have an
additional fire extinguisher in that vehicle available for immediate use. When fueling a vehicle it is mandatory
that a fire extinguisher be present.
FLUID LEAKAGE / TRACK CLEAN-UP POLICY: Refer to page in this book
FUEL: Gasoline, alcohol, gasohol, diesel, ethanol, natural gas and propane are permitted. Nitromethane, and
Propylene oxide are prohibited.
