GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR 2019

• KOTS is the original “no prep” event–the track will be untouched throughout the event (unless a wreck/oil down occurs)
• All races will be “1st round off the trailer”–NO test passes on race day.
• Burnouts must start in the designated burnout box, and may be driven out as far as desired (WATER ONLY)
• After first round matches are drawn a bracket will be followed after that.
• STARTING METHOD: .400 Pro Tree (7 second timeout) for all classes.
• BYE RUNS: Last racer drawn in the round, will automatically advance (no pass allowed) to race against the first racer drawn in the following round. The drawing racer will have lane choice
• LANE CHOICE: Regular draw, 1st name out (of each pair) has lane choice Bye run: 1st name drawn (against the previous round’s bye) has lane choice
• CENTER LINE: Crossing the center line in front of your opponent (before the win light indicates a winner) will result in a DQ. (crossing behind does not DQ, but use your head please!!)
• DOUBLE RED LIGHTS: In the event of a double red light, the generally accepted “first/worst” rule will apply.
  (Race coordinator will prove first/worst to the racers ONLY, upon request)
• RED LIGHT & CENTER LINE: In the unlikely event that one racer red lights, and the other crosses the center line in front of said red lit opponent, “first/worst” will again apply (example: Most likely, the red light happened first, so they would be out)
• ALL cars must have NHRA approved diapers or retention pans (fabricated ok), must meet NHRA requirements
• US41 will have their concessions stand & bar open and available for everyone (NO ALCOHOL FOR DRIVERS, SUBJECT TO DQ). Any patrons who appear to be over-served or belligerent will be denied alcohol sales, and may be ejected into police custody if they are a problem
• ANY UNAUTHORIZED PEOPLE IN ANY RESTRICTED AREA WITHOUT PROPER CREDENTIALS WILL BE EJECTED IMMEDIATELY WITHOUT A REFUND
• VIP spectator areas are strictly off limits to children under 18
• NO GLASS BOTTLES/CONTAINERS ARE ALLOWED ANYWHERE ON THE PROPERTY–THEY WILL BE CONFISCATED AND DISCARDED, AND YOU MAY BE EJECTED
• RULINGS: Starter has authority to DQ any car while on the line (as with any event). Any other rulings will come from the race coordinator. All rulings are final.
• A racer may be DQ’d for any reason not listed here at the discretion of track or KOTS staff.
• DQ will result in forfeit of any & all entry fees
• There will at least 15 minutes between rounds, save for any unexpected delays (wrecks/oil downs). (time frame will be adjusted if necessary to ensure timely completion of event)
