The 2007 Carolina Corvette Challenge will be run under the rules and
guidelines set forth by Darlington Dragway and the International Hot Rod Association (IHRA).

Basic Safety Rules
A helmet must be worn. If you do not own one, you can rent one at the track for
$3.00 and your license will be held until return of the helmet. Drivers must wear
long pants and a shirt with sleeves (except where a fire jacket is required) when on the
track. During the hot summer days many of us just wear shorts under gym pants and
take off the gym pants between runs. Then we throw the gym pants on for the next
run. Cars running faster than 11.50 seconds will require a rollbar and the driver to
wear fire jacket. Convertibles must have a rollbar if they run faster than 13.50
seconds. (However if the convertible has a hardtop, it can run up to 11.50 without a
rollbar. If you have a convertible, check out the hardtops from Smooth Line. Additionally, if your car
is required to have a rollbar, it is also required for the driver to wear a 3" wide
5-point safety harness. Keep in mind, we are a group of Corvette drivers having fun
and the track has the right to impose any rule for the safety of the participants.
This paragraph is not intended to be a complete rules list but a guideline for those that
are unfamiliar with drag racing rules.
