MDRA RULES AND REGULATIONS

1)   The registration entry fee to join the MDRA is $25. This must be paid prior to your first     MDRA race. You will not be awarded any MDRA points if your registration entry has not been received prior to first round of racing the event.   Points will only be awarded to the racers that have paid their registration fee. Also you must be a member of the MDRA to be able to vote for special awards held at the MDRA banquet.

2)   MDRA classes will be Super Pro / Pro / Sportsman / Jr. Dragster.   Depending on the amount of Jr. Dragster racers signed up will determine whether there will be one or two Jr. Dragster classes for the season.

3)   Championship trophies will be given in Super Pro / Pro / Sportsman and Jr. Dragster. Class champions will be recognized at the MDRA state banquet.

4)   Special plaques will be awarded to each MDRA race day champion of Super Pro / Pro / Sportsman / Jr. Dragster.

5)   Jr. Thunder class is ages 8 -12 and Lightning class is 13 – 17.   If a Thunder racer turns 13 in the middle of the race season then they will finish the season in the Thunder Class.   They will not be able to transfer points to the lightning class.   It will be determined at the first MDRA points race whether there will be just one Jr. Dragster class or both Thunder and Lightning.   This will be voted on at that time by the racers representatives and board of directors.

6)   The class champions of Super Pro / Pro / Sportsman will run off for the Overall State Champion. The following format will be used.

  • Each class champion will be given one time trial with a dial in.

  • The other 2 racers will then race with the winner of that race proceeding to the final for the state championship.
  • The state champion will be awarded special trophies for their accomplishments.
  • Cross talk will be allowed, if available, to the Super Pro racer in the runoff between S/P, Pro and Sportsman in the overall state championship runoff.

9)   If a racer registers for multiple classes they will NOT be allowed to transfer points from one class to the other.   However if a racer is only registered in one class they may transfer points in the event of a vehicle malfunction.   Example: Super Pro car breaks down during time trials then driver has the opportunity to enter Sportsman class with their Sportsman car.
