RULES   All Drivers and Crew Members will be required to display Good Sportsmanship and Appropriate Conduct at all events.  The Intention of this club is to focus on the fun and family orientation of Nostalgia Drag Racing.  All members will be required to promote this idea. No Driver Enhancing Equipment that in any way will affect the reaction time of the driver or the E.T. of the car will be Permitted Aboard Car, including, but not limited to Stutter Boxes, Delay Boxes, Throttle Stops. No Nitrous Oxide Systems will be Permitted. No Electronic Fuel Injection Systems, or Electronically controlled mechanical systems will be permitted.  Purely mechanical Systems manufactured prior to 1973, or replica's there-of will be allowed. The driver must operate car for the entire pass.  No assisting equipment will be allowed, including but not limited to, air shifters, timers, down track timing, or control devices of any sort, etc... The following devices will be allowed, however; the presentation of the car, both on and off the track, must remain nostalgic: Trans brakes, line locks, shift lights, rpm activated multi-step rev-limiters, any ignition system.  If usage of any or all of these promotes a "bracket car" appearance, they can be ruled illegal on any individual car. All cars in competition must be body styles built prior to 1973, except purpose built late model front engine dragsters or altered replicating cars in competition prior to 1973. All cars will be inspected prior to their first participation in competition.  The competition committee will serve as inspectors of all potential participants.  They will also do routine, random inspections of all cars in competition to insure adherence to the rules.  Any car found non-compliant will be disqualified for the race.  Any points for the event will be voided, and the zero points will be used in the calculations for the season's end champion.  Three disqualifications will result in the expulsion from the program, with no refund of fees.  A driver may change entries at any time during the season, but a new entry must be inspected prior to competition.  Refusal to allow an inspection will be considered grounds for termination of the entry from competition for the season. Cars will compete based on handicap starting according to the following basic classes:  A bracket=10.99 and quicker, B bracket=11.00 and slower.  Other classes will be added when car count requires (i.e.. junior fuel, supercharged cars, nostalgia super stock, etc.) 14 Flat is the slowest E.T. allowed, except for flathead or inline powered legal vehicles.  Other nostalgia appearing cars unable to meet this criteria will be considered for approval on an individual basis by the Board of Directors, and the competition committee. Plaques will be given out at each event to the Winner, Runner-up and two Semifinalists in the combined A and B eliminator.  Trophies will be awarded at seasons end to the top three finishers in points.  Event winner decals will be issued at all points races sanctioned by MANDRA. Four drivers will be randomly picked at the beginning of each event, prior to eliminations commencing, to serve the purpose of resolving any disputes for the particular event.  They will serve as three judges, and one alternate.  All decisions will be final.  All decisions will be based on NHRA Rules for E.T. Bracket Class, and the adopted rules of this organization. A drivers meeting will be held at every event, prior to first round of eliminations. Drivers participating in the points program will be given 50 points for attending and participating at each race.  The Driver will be given an additional 50 points for each round they participate in.  The Winner of the event will receive a bonus of 75 points for winning.  The points will be tallied, and the person with the most points will be named Champion.  The points computation will be based on the best 70% of all races held (best 7 out of 10). A Driver who competes at all sanctioned points events shall be awarded free tickets to the MANDRA Banquet held in November.    Competition Committee This committee will inspect all perspective members' race cars to insure the vehicle represents the period prior to 1973.  This inspection must be completed prior to it being approved for competition with MANDRA.  The committee will also conduct random inspections of all cars competing with MANDRA to insure rules compliance.  The committees' decision will be forwarded to the Board of Directors as a recommendation, at which time the Board will issue a final decision.  The guidelines the committee will base its ruling on are as follows: All vehicles in competition should closely resemble the appearance of cars that raced during the period prior to 1972. Reasonable attempts should be made by all participants to prepare their vehicles in such a fashion that would replicate that time period In that Interest, vehicles should retain stock body appearance and components, or direct replacements thereof. Modifications to the car that affect it's appearance, both on and off the track, must be approved. Period correct components and modifications will be automatically approved. Other modifications will be considered according to the following guideline: Cars in competition will be limited on the following changes, (individually or in combination), if usage is considered to detract from a nostalgic appearance or presentation, either on or off the tract: Transmission Brakes RPM activated multiple step rev-limiters Non-OEM, late model, or otherwise not period correct hood scoops Non-OEM, late model, or otherwise not period correct rear wings or spoilers Radically altered suspension that severely lowers the stance of the car Late model aluminum wheels, or extremely large rear tires.
