All such devices must be removed from the car before passing tech inspection. The driver must accomplish all driving functions, (not electronics). All on-track tuning of fuel, throttle, clutch, transmission, and ignition systems must be a direct function of the driver. Data recorders are allowed for data acquisition only and in no way may be able to make a control function that enhances the drivers or tuners ability to control the performance of the car while it is on the track. No microprocessor feedback controlled ignition systems allowed. Rev-limiters are allowed. Three-step controllers are allowed.

Ladder Formation and Procedures:
All ladders will be set after the last qualifying pass. After the ladder is set, no changes will be made except alternate insertion for no-show cars of the first round. These insertions will be placed directly into the no-show cars qualifying spot in an ascending order, if more than one spot exists. If alternates are not available, the open slots will be considered break singles and not bye-runs. Full points are awarded to the original qualifying driver; alternate accumulates points after the first round. Prize money will be awarded to original winning driver; alternate can win money after reinsertion round. All ladders will be constructed on a professional format, with number one running number thirty two, number two running number thirty one, etc.

Lane Choice:
Lane choice is the responsibility of the lowest qualifying racer. This must be done before leaving the staging lanes. Lane choice does not have to be selected until the point of entry into the burnout box. The car without lane choice should refrain from blocking entry into either lane, regardless of earlier verbal agreement between the competitors. If both cars have set in the burnout box and a track oil-down or facility problem occurs causing a delay of the run, the car with lane choice may request a lane change.
