For the purposes of this rulebook, participants will be defined as many persons directly or indirectly associated with any vehicle which has been permitted to enter the event site for the purpose of competition, including, but not limited to owner, crew, driver, sponsors, family, or any other people involved with said vehicle. In addition, any person or persons engaged in selling or displaying products will be defined as a participant as well.

Participants may suffer bodily injury, death, loss, or damage to property during a AATRS event. Participants who enter a AATRS event are acknowledging that the event site is safe and suitable for racing and that they understand and assume the risks that relate to drag racing events.

Participants must acknowledge that by participating in the events they may suffer bodily injury, death, loss, or damage to personal property. The participant voluntarily assumes the risk of such losses and agrees to indemnify American All Track Racing Series, AATRS LLC, AATRS officials, AATRS staff, event sponsors, the racetrack, the racetrack officials, and other participants or officials for such losses and agrees to not sue such persons for such losses.

RACE PROCEDURES

Starting System
AATRS heads-up drag racing will be conducted using a standard NHRA starting line system. All heads-up, Index categories will be started with a three amber "Pro" tree start. All amber lights are activated simultaneously, with a four-tenths delay (.400) before green.

Qualifying
If possible, all competitors will be given three qualifying passes on Saturday, weather permitting. In order to be counted as an official qualifying attempt, all cars must self-start and stage under their own power.

All qualifying passes must be made within one of the three official designated qualifying sessions, and only one qualifying attempt is permitted per qualifying session.

In all heads-up classes, the vehicle with the quickest elapsed time will be the number 1 qualifier, the second quickest will be the number 2 qualifier, and so on. In the event of identical qualifying elapsed times, the vehicle with the faster top speed recorded on the qualifying runs in question will be awarded the lower qualifying position.

Single Runs
During single runs where there is not another competitor on the track to run against, the lone driver is considered the winner once he stages and receives the green light. If this lone driver crosses the centerline on a single run the elapsed time is voided for lane choice determination and any ET, MPH awards, and/or records for points.

Lane Choice (Heads-Up Classes)
In all cases lane choice is determined by elapsed time. In the first round of elimination's, the quickest of the qualified pair will have lane choice as determined by the position of the qualifying sheet. In every round after the first, lane choice will go to the competitor who has the quicker elapsed time from the previous round.

Staging Rules
Control of the starting line is the sole discretion of the track starter.

Crew Members on Starting line
No more than 5 crew members are permitted on the starting line with any participating car. After car takes the first staging beam, crew members must exit the staging area (this means no standing behind your drivers car watching it launch, while standing in front of the next car set to start their burnout) Driver will lose the run if his/her crews violates these rules.

Burnout Rules
You are allowed one attempt of a burnout that includes crossing the "Start Line" with any part of the race car.. Teams that attempt a 2nd burnout after crossing the start line on the 1st attempt will result in a DQ of that pass and will be backed out without being able to run down the track.

Burnout Rules (crew members)
In the interest of safety, AATRS will not allow crew members to stand in front of a car while it is conducting a burnout. All crew members must remain in the painted areas on the side of the track or on the other side of the wall. If a team violates this rule, the run will be DQ'd

Disqualification
The AATRS shall use NHRA policies with regard to disqualification's (red-light starts, double red-light starts, crossing the centerline, etc.) in order to help prevent situations in which both competitors are disqualified and maximize the chances of declaring a winner. Please consult the 2007-current NHRA rulebook under General Policies for more information.

A competitor may not advance to a position in a later round than he/she did not actually compete in. In the event that a class winner is disqualified for any reason, the runner-up will be declared the winner. If the runner-up is also disqualified, there will be no winner or runner-up for that class and no awards or purse will be given for those positions.

Safety Infractions
Any time a vehicle or driver exceeds the elapsed time or MPH for which they are safety certified, or if the driver and/or vehicle are found to be in violation of any current safety standards, then the host track safety inspectors have the sole authority to restrict the driver and vehicle from further runs until the problem is fixed, or to disqualify the entry from the event. In all cases the safety rules and safety-related decisions of the host tracks safety staff overrule that of the AATRS officials.

Record Procedures
Owning a AATRS National Class Record is a high honor awarded to the fastest and quickest drivers. Record runs can be made only under official qualifying or elimination conditions. Any record attempts with a 10-mph or greater tailwind will not be accepted. In order to set a AATRS National Class Record, a driver must run either quicker or faster than the previous record. The elapsed time and speed records may be set independently or simultaneously.

In order to actually reset the official run, you must provide the AATRS Tech Director with the record-setting time slip directly after the run. A back up run within 1 percent is required to set an official AATRS record
