2024 Series: This is a eight (8) race series; we will count your best seven (7) races for points. Drivers retain any appearance points earned for the throw out race. You must run in at least three (3) Summit Series Races in order to qualify for the NHRA Summit Showdown at the ET Finals. At the ET Finals you can also qualify for a chance at big prize money, A Wally and Gold Card at the World ET Finals in Pomona. The ET Finals winner of each Saturday Classes race will be invited to race as well.

Breakage Rule: If your vehicle breaks during competition, you may tech another vehicle as long as it is NOT currently in competition in the same class. If your vehicle breaks before competition has started and you choose not to race another vehicle and do not want your show up points you may ask for a refund, If no alternate vehicle is available you may request a refund of the entry fee (a refund will not be available to those who have already made a pass before breakage occurs). Any gate, crew and spectator fees are nonrefundable. You must dial an ET within your class. Show up and/or qualifying points will also be forfeit.​

Classes: When you sign up for the series, you must choose and designate a class or classes to earn your points. If you wish to change your class during the series, you will lose your round points and qualifying points for that class. You will only keep your show up points and transfer them into the new class you are joining.

High School Class: The High School Class will run as a standalone class, but must stay within the NHRA Summit ET High School Rules. Please refer to the NHRA Rule Book for all class rules. As a high school participant your points will be kept separate as to determine our high school track champion. At the ET Finals, the High School class can run in sportsman on Saturday, however, on Sunday it will be its own class combined with junior street and will be contested eighth (1/8) mile. Minors that are 16 & 17 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian to sign a wavier of release at the first event. An NHRA minor drivers card will be issued to the driver for future events.

Ties: Points will be tallied throughout the year for a final year end points champion in each class. In the event of a tie (1st tiebreaker) the racer with the most rounds won. (2nd tiebreaker) the racer with the most wins. (3rd tiebreaker) the racer with the most runner-up finishes. (4th tiebreaker) The racer with the most head to head wins.

Dial-In: You must stay within your index for the class that you signed up for. If you DIAL out of your class index at any time during eliminations and win, you will be disqualified and your competitor will be reinstated. Each competitor will be responsible for checking the “Dial In Boards” and scoreboards for his/her dial in. If your “dial in” on the board is not correct, DO NOT STAGE your vehicle. Get the starters attention to make the necessary corrections. Once you stage, you have excepted the dial in for that round. Win or lose, the run will stand.

Staging Lanes: Once in the staging lanes, lane changing or swapping is not permitted past the cross walk (half stripe). When you are past that point, the two vehicles are now set as a pair. Once paired if your vehicle breaks your competitor may choose to wait till the end of the class or take the competition single.

Run For The Money: An optional run for the money will be conducted during the second time run (only one time run on Sundays), optional, meaning you can participate in the time run without paying the $20 lane fee, but you will not be eligible for the prize money. If you choose not to participate, DO NOT PUT A DIAL ON YOUR CAR; treat it as a time run only. However, you will be eligible for the first round bye, if you happen to have the best reaction time whether you pay or not. The run for the money winner is the racer who is closest to their dial in without breaking out, reaction time is the tiebreaker and if there is still a tie the racer who did it first is the winner. The tree will be a bogey start for all classes.

Bye Runs: First round bye run will be determined by the racer with the best reaction time during all time runs. All remaining round byes, until laddered (8 cars or less) are determined by best winning reaction time from previous round. Any class that is laddered first round, byes will be determined by qualifying position.

Cross Talk: Super Pro (box, electronic) class only. If you do not want Cross Talk please put an “N” for NO behind your dial. Otherwise cross talk will be activated.

Re-Runs: In the event of a re-run, both competitors will stay in the same lane as the previous run. dial ins may be changed.

Courtesy Staging: Is not required but recommended.

Deep Staging: Vehicles must be marked on all four sides with DEEP on their windows. The starter will honor deep staging if vehicle is marked properly.

Taillights: One functional, operating taillight is mandatory after sunset from starting line to finish line during a pass. A burned out bulb is not functional or operating. This rule is for safety and will be strictly enforced. The use of LED bulbs or lights is highly recommended. Flashing, blinking or strobe lights are prohibited.
