ArmDrop Racing – Floating Dial Drags (F.D.D.)

All vehicles will get a minimum of one qualifying time that will determine their place on the ladder.

Racers must qualify at an ET they plan on using during the event, any major increases in ET or MPH will be grounds for disqualification.

When final qualifying passes are complete there will be a range of ET evaluated, if need be split classes will be created with a fast class (class 1) and a slow class (class 2). The two classes will run separate ladders throughout the competition until the two classes mesh together in round 5 or 6 or whenever the field is determined close enough.

Floating Dial – during the event there will be a separate digital dial in board mounted either on top of the starting tree or in front of Rich’s ArmDrop stand. Both locations are completely visible by both racers .This will be one location that will post your target ET the other being the board at the end of the track, depending on tracks electronics allows. The floating Dial will always be determined by the slower vehicles qualifying time. The Dial in ET will be displayed after both vehicles have completely staged. The target ET displayed on the digital board will be no more than 1 second slower than the pairs slower vehicles qualifying ET. The first to finish without going faster than the floating dial chosen for your pair, moves on to the next round. Example: car one qualified 9.57 and car two qualified 9.71 , the floating dial would be from 9.71-10.71 ET

Racers will be split up into 4- 8 lanes by ET, this will be the racers designated lane throughout the competition until the two classes mesh (this will insure close ET races).When winning round racers are called back to lanes, proceed to your designated lane!
