2011 Street Car Super Nationals VII Double Index Rules

2011 DOUBLE INDEX RULES

Class Description
Double Index is based on an 9.60 & 10.60 Index (all runs made faster than your chosen index will be disqualified) unless the run is made in eliminations and both cars break out, then the closest car to your index will be declared the round winner and advance to the next round. In elimination's, if a 10.60 car is paired up with a 9.60 car, the 10.60 will get a 1-second head start.

QUALIFYING:
#1 Qualifier will be determined by the closest run to the chosen index without going quicker. Example: John Smith runs 10.602 on his 10.60 Index and Jay Martin runs 9.603 on his 9.60 Index, John would be the higher qualifier since he's closer to his chosen Index......In the event of 2 or more cars running the same qualified ET, the driver who posts the time first will be awarded with the qualified spot. If you run quicker than the your Index on all 4 runs, you will be placed at the bottom of the ladder for eliminations.
