  Stock Appearing Drags  General Rules and Information

What kind of cars are welcome here??
Muscle Cars! If you have a 60's - 70's Ford, Mopar, GM, or AMC this is the place for you.


First try to get to the track by 9AM, unless posted at a different time. Please check the Forum, for updated info

Thinking of holding your own car show here?? We have great car shows, with 100's of cars from all over the country present. Wanna have your clubs show here as well? Contact us and we will try to get you in as well.
---------------------------------------------

As far as the racing classes for the events:

If you have a Stock or  Stock Appearing muscle car or  Show Car / Cruise night car...you are welcome. These are all cars that look relatively stock from the outside and may or may not have internal modifications. 1960-1976 period year correct representations
-------------------------------------------

Once you have entered the track you will go to the Raceway Park tech line, tell them you are there for the Stock Appearing Drags Classes. You can make the judgement on which class you are in only if you have thoughly read and understand the rules.
Once in the pits park near the other cool stock looking muscle cars and look for a guy with a t-shirt that says 'STAFF' and he will make sure to put you in the proper class by teching your car.
When being teched either in the parking lot or after you are called to the staging lanes:

The Raceway Park announcer will announce what lanes to pull into at about 10AM, listen for this announcement, or watch the other cars you know are in your class and when they go, you go. You can hear the track annoucements on 90.3 FM once you are at the track.


Once in the staging lanes:

1.
Please have your hood open...LEAVE it open until the class is ready to run
2. You may be asked to have your air cleaner assembly off
3. Blocks will be checked for rules compliance
4. Head castings will be checked for rules compliance
5. Valve cover removal request may happen to check OEM casting numbers
6. I would like all racers to use water and not antifreeze in their radiators. If you spill something and it doesn't get noticed the next racer will pay for it. Please no antifreeze!
----------------------------------------

You will be in one of three classes:



The Stock Appearing class. These cars are pretty much Stock looking muscle cars some with internal modifications. This is you>...the guy that primarily uses his car as a street car, it still looks exactly stock. This class varies wildly from exact bone-stock muscle cars all the way up to cars with many INTERNAL modifications. These cars can have larger than stock bored and stroked motors and use higher than stock compression. You will see many rare and desirable muscle cars throughout this class, all doing what they were meant to be doing when they were new. Drag Racing!

Stock Appearing class is fun, very competitive, gets the alot of the magazine coverage.

This is the bread & butter class of the event. Most people fall into this category. The great thing about this class is you can race your car when you want to and not have to change a thing! And you can still hit the lawn chair circuit when you want.

Muscle Car Eliminator Class:

If you have a muscle car that has headers or an aftermarket intake or aftermarket heads or blocks, you are welcome. You will be running in the muscle car eliminator class called MCE. And any entrants into this Bracket race class, must abide by their rules and regulations. Raceway Park gives out the Trophies for this event at their trophy window, you have to earn one in this class.

If you have a later model crate motor in your 60's muscle car this class is for you. Factory Race Cars are allowed and encouraged in this class. All Nostalgia Racers Welcome here in this class. The basic rules are: Your car is very close to Stock Appearing Class, but it has headers, or an aftermarket intake, or some other aftermarket parts on it, such as wheels.

If you are in this class:

You must have some type of street tire.....NO SLICKS...drag radials OK

You cannot have a tubbed car, no tube chassis cars, you must be an all steel body/all glass windows door slammer.

You cannot have Nitrous Oxide, or a Supercharger, or Turbo's...........If you show up with this...you will be in Test and Tune lanes and NOT running with the rest of the muscle cars.

Again your car has to be close to Stock Appearing Class rules or you will get maybe 3 test and tune shots...thats it. Don't even bother coming its not worth it.
