Simply there is the big guys, meduim, and local. the big guys are John Force, Warren Johnson, etc. There is Div1 racing which is meduim. Very restrictive on the car and class, teardown, weight checks, and fuel checks. A freind runs a 65 289 mustang which has stock heads, stock 4bbl, etc. Car runs high 10's and needs 50-70 more hp to be competetive in his class.

That leaves the local "Summitt Series" Each track can custom the rules and number of events. They have street, pro and super pro. Street and pro are foot break classes which forbid 2-steps, trans brakes, delay boxes and throttle stops (non electic class). Street is 19.99 to 11.50 needs dot tires and mufflers, factory glass. Pro is 15.00-9.0 and allow slicks, lexen windows, open exhaust etc. Requied safety equipment depends on how fast you go. No roll bar for hard top and t-top car down to 11.50. Verts with no roll bar are limited to 13.50. If you run a non factory power adder (juice, turbo, or super charger) you are required a fire jacket no matter what ET. Cars are teched in for each race to check that you have the required stuff for the ET your running.

Atco, Raceway, Cecil, Maple Grove, Island, and Numidia are the local tracks around the area and all run brackets over the season. They call the races points race, summit race, money race, etc. If you have any questions shoot me a pm.

The tracks also have index races. That is where you see 12.0, 11.50, 10.0 etc. In those races the dial in is set for you class such a 11.50. You have 11.50 on your window and run that all day. In the bracket events you can change your dial on each round.
