that round. If the opposing racer also fouls, the result will be determined
on a “First or Worst” basis. The racer who commits the first foul or the
worst foul will be disqualified. Following is a list ranking fouls from worst
to least the top being the worst the bottom least worst. 1.

Staging:
Staging time will be determined by official Starter or Auto Start
feature of the timing system. Racers be aware if your opponent has turned on
both stage bulbs and you have only your pre-stage bulb on you have very
little time before the tree will be activated by a Starter or the Auto Start
system usually this time will be seven seconds but can be anything from one
second to ten seconds be ready. Any racer refusing to leave the starting line
when instructed by the Official Starter can lead to disqualification. If both
racers left starting line before timing system (Tree) is activated both are
disqualified only exception if a racer where on a single run but of course no
time would be awarded. During qualifying or single run a racer red lights the
run will still count as long as the timing system was not tripped by the back
tires. All Limited Street and Real Street races will use a .400 Pro Tree.
Qualifying / Lane Choice:
During qualifying you must alternate lanes per round unless instructed
otherwise by an SSCA official. Failure to alternate lanes during qualifying
will forfeit that rounds ET. Lane
choice first round goes by qualifying order in subsequent rounds lane choice
goes to the racer with the faster ET the previous round if both have same ET
lane choice goes to the faster MPH if that is the same lane choice will be
determined by qualifying order.
Conduct:
All drivers, pit crew and family members will be expected to act in a
professional manner. It is the drivers responsibility to ensure that all pit
crew and family members adhere to this rule. Any violation will result in
disqualification and loss of entry fees, if deemed serious enough or becomes
a problem at later events SSCA will ban the racer from future events. Ladder:
Both Limited and Real Street will be paired after qualifying using a
pro-ladder. Example an 8 car field, number one qualifier will run number
