Secret Street Rules & Regs
2004 Race City Motorsport Park
Secret Street Rules & Regulations
INTENT
The intent of Secret Street is to provide an opportunity for street racers and drag enthusiasts to race their cars in an appropriate environment at Race City, thereby reducing the amount of racing on the streets of Calgary.
CONCEPT
To provide an informal racing environment which makes it easy for anyone to participate. It is designed to allow people to race against anyone they wish to — grudge matches are welcome!
RULES
Vehicles participating must be ‘Street Legal', properly licensed and insured, with complete working muffler systems. No open headers will be allowed. The maximum noise level is 95 db at 50 feet at 3500 RPM. Cars may be brought to the track on trailers, but must be street legal. All vehicles must have an operational taillight and headlight. Slicks are allowed.
Events held after 10:00 PM at night are required to provide minimal noise. If Race City violates this By-law, the facility may lose its license to operate.
All cars will be ‘teched’ in accordance with IHRA safety regulations. Tech director has the discretion to allow or disallow cars or bikes to run based on safety considerations.
This will be a ‘back-gate’ event whereby all participants and spectators will enter through one gate.
Fees are $10.00 per car; $10.00 per driver; non-participant cars N/C. Spectators $5.00 each.
Gates will open at 6:30 PM; tech will start at 7:00 PM and be open until 10:30 PM. Secret Street events will begin at 9:00 PM and run until 1:00 AM, depending on the number of participants and level of interest.
Concessions will be open from 8:00 PM through 1:00 AM, provided sufficient demand warrants these hours. Racers are welcome to come to the track early and have some great track food for supper, plus snacks later!
Absolutely NO alcohol will be allowed or sold. Any racer, spectator or participant violating this rule risks jeopardizing the success of this event. Security will be on site to enforce this rule. Self-policing is expected from participants. Anyone caught with illegal substances (drugs) or alcohol will be immediately ejected.
Secret Street will be ‘heads-up’ starts. Separate time slips will be provided.
Competitors may run against whom they want, when they want - excluding bikes against cars. Participants are not allowed to switch vehicles. You may only run the car you signed the tech card for. Number of runs is strictly dependent on how many racers turn out.
All competitors must have a valid Drivers License. All vehicles must be properly licensed and insured (See Addendum A).
It is expected that racers will help with track clean-up should a major spill occur. Hence, Race City expects some street racers to join the volunteer group to learn the basics.
The water box will be used at the racer’s discretion and long burnouts will not be permitted.
Track safety rules will be strictly enforced (i.e. return lane speeds, no stunting in the pits, etc.). Maximum 30 km/h on the return road.
All participants will be required to sign the Race City waiver at Tech at each race event.
Race participants should buy the 2004 IHRA rulebook, as there are changes from previous years. New entrants should call Race City with questions regarding a vehicle.
All participating cars, trucks, etc., must be equipped with two throttle return springs. Other basic safety features include, but are not limited to: tires in good condition with all lugnuts in place, operational drivers seatbelt, operational neutral safety switch, radiator overflow, and a properly secured battery (no bungee cords).
