The “Big Race”, its officials or Brainerd International Raceway for this event, is not affiliated in any way or manner with AMA/Prostar, AHDRA, NHRA or IHRA. The rulebooks for use as standards are the current rulebooks in effect for the sanctioning bodies of AMA/Prostar and the AHDRA. Any rule that is not found to apply to a particular situation will be differed to the Race Director for consideration.
There are no Protest, teardowns or technical disqualifications that will be considered unless it is defined in the AMA/Prostar or AHDRA rulebooks unless described as a procedural rule in the NHRA rulebook. Once the tower sets a ladder, there will be no changes.
