"The track will be a section of runway exactly one mile (5280 feet) in length. One vehicle at a time will be on the track. Electronic Timing triggered by laser beams will be used to determine speed. The “speed trap” used to measure speed will consist of the last 132 feet of the one-mile track. Running order will generally be “first come, first served.” Entrants will use a semi-standing start with an approximate 20-foot prestart box. (This is to avoid, or at least reduce, the stress and breakage associated with “drag race” starts.) There will be no pre-run or warm-up burnouts allowed, and starting burnouts must be kept to a minimum. Elapsed Time will not be measured, only Top Speed. There will be a minimum 0.8 mile slowdown area after the speed trap, with as much extra runoff as possible. Upon returning to the Paddock, each vehicle will stop briefly at the timing station and receive its speed slip for the run.

At this event, all vehicles must leave the pits, enter the grid, stage, run, and return to the pits under their own power, without outside assistance (except in case of breakdown). Vehicles that aren’t self-starting, or those that require a starting crew, recovery crew, pushing, or towing, can’t be accommodated at this time. Motorcycles may be pushed to the start line if desired."
