DuneFest 2010 Drag Racing Information
Oregon Off Road-Racing Association - Drag Racing Area is Fenced and Secure for Drag Racing Only
The drag racing action will take place on the sand dunes managed by Douglas County Parks and is promoted by the Oregon Off-Road Racing Association (OORA). DuneFest offers sand excitement for all ages and skill levels, with trophies awarded in many categories!
Everyone is encouraged to participate in these fun events. OORA staff members will be on hand to help kids at the races, especially first-timers who may not understand the rules.
Dune Fest offers four levels of racing in sand drags:
• Pee-Wee - Children under the age of 16 with little to no past experience
• Junior - Children under the age of 16 with some past racing experience
• Sportsman - Adults over the age of 16 with little to no past experience.
Sportsman classes are divided into time brackets for all vehicles. The races are for fun and trophies, but do not offer cash prizes. All sportsman races carry a $25 entry fee.
• Professional
Pro racing drivers receive $500 for first place and $250 for second. A $75 entry fee must be paid by each professional racer.
All posted pro payouts are based upon 10 or more entries in each class. If there are fewer than 10 entries in a class, the payout is 100 percent of the entry fees split 70/30.
Portatree Professional Ultimate Timing System with Gold Box Interface
• This is an NHRA Approved Timing System upgraded with inferred lights.
• Not affected by any white lights.
• Each light works on it’s own frequency; there is no cross lighting.
HOW IT WORKS:
• The tree controls the left & right lane.
• 2 pre-stage & 2 stage lights at the top.
• When tires covers both pre-stage and stage lights lane is staged.
• When both lanes are staged there is a random delay of 1 to 3 seconds. Tree is started.
SPORT LIGHT
1, 2, 3 yellows comes on then 4th green.
1234 .4 tenths of a second; so itÃs called a 4 tenth starting tree.
PRO LIGHT
All three yellow lights come on same time then green you GO.
QUESTION OF THE RED LIGHT - DISQUALIFICATION
If you pre-stage and stage and then roll out of the lights after tree has started - YOU RED LIGHT. If you roll in too far and your pre-stage light comes back on that is Deep Staging - YOU RED LIGHT. If you start before your green light comes on, if you hit the guard beam or roll forward out of the pre-stage light - YOU RED LIGHT
BRACKET RACING USING DIAL TIMES
If you go faster than you dial time You Broke Out and you loose. If both lanes brake out the worst brake out looses
THE NEXT SET OF LIGHTS
ARE 60 Feet AWAY
This tells how you fast you get off the line Any questions about Drag Racing or the NHRA approved timing system please ask any OORA Official
