2010 Drag Racing Information
 
Below are a few of the facts you should be aware of.

• Gateway International Raceway is a NHRA track, and all vehicles racing will receive a thorough tech inspection. Safety is paramount, and there will be no exceptions made. Please refer to NHRA's rules for the speeds that you will be running -- and that you have all of the required safety equipment, certifications, and licenses to run at that speed. Should you run faster than the speed that your car is certified for -- you will be asked to visit Race Control in the tower.
• Liability Waiver: Entry to this event does not make SS Promotions, Gateway International Raceway, or any event Sponsor, Their agents or employees liable for any damages whatsoever to you, your vehicle, or your belongings. Your failure to read or sign this release does not constitute a liability.
• Race entry includes one 3-day pass and one pit parking pass.
• NSS race entry includes Saturday Night Dinner for the driver and one guest.
• Only those who have pre-registered may arrive Thursday to set up their pit. The gates generally open to do this at 1PM.
• Children under 12-years old are admitted free when accompanied by an adult. All others arriving with the racer on Thursday of Friday must purchase a three day event pass.
• NSS entries are required to have a NSS tech inspection immediately after they've completed their NHRA tech inspection. This is performed at the back of Doug Duell's pit. Should you have any question about the NSS rules, please contact Doug Duell at 812-473-0215.
• There are 70+ NSS racers in the Dave Duell Classic, and that they need to pit together since they self-administer that racing class. The pits on the far side of the staging lanes and the first row (both sides) of pits closest to the staging lanes is reserved solely for Nostalgia Super Stock racers, and special Exhibitors. It is the only way that NSS is able to match up the various classes within NSS, and promptly line up in the staging lanes. Your understanding and full compliance to this is appreciated.
• Friday is generally for test and tuning
• Saturday has limited Time Trial times scheduled, and primarily for Qualifying. Some of the classes have their eliminations on Saturday.
• Sunday has limited Time Trials, and is mostly eliminations.
• The gates open at 8AM. It is suggested that you arrive at that time on Saturday and Sunday as racing starts early.
• The track is always very well prepped and cars hook. The track eats transmissions and rear-end that are less than optimal. A word to the wise is to ensure attention to this area is paid prior to bringing a hard hooking car to the track.
• Drag racing at the Monster Mopar Weekend is efficiently run to keep the groove warm and sticky. Should you have an oil-down, pull the car to the wall and stop as soon as safe as to oil-down a minimal amount of the track, and reduce the clean-up time required to get racing started again.
• SS Promotions reserves the right to change or modify the race program at any time due to circumstances beyond our control.
• No shirt sales without prior approval.
