2011 OPEN COMP RULES

Class Description

Open Comp is a "Door Car" class that is designed for all vehicles and trucks that run slower than 8.00 seconds in the 1/4 mile. Dragsters, Alters & Motorcycles are not permitted. The "Open Comp" class will be run on an Open Comp format with a 1-tenth (1/10th) breakout. What this means is, you get 4 rounds of qualifying (Time Permitting). You take 1/10th off your quickest time and that is your automatic dial-in for eliminations. This time will be yours throughout eliminations (it does not change). The best reaction time is the #1 qualifier, you will then be put on a Sportsman ladder for eliminations.
