Introduction and general information:
The Mopac Auto Supply Street Legal Drag Racing Series, now in
it's 11th successful year of operation at Mission Raceway Park is
intended to serve as the entry level opportunity for first time
drag racers and as a safe alternative to illegal street racing.
Scheduled for selected Friday nights starting in April and running
through to October, this is a 'run-what-you-brung-for-fun' time
only race program. As there are no elimination's, racers can expect
to get anywhere from 4 to 6 passes per evening (depending on total
car count). This program is ideal for those enthusiasts who just
want to have some fun, set up a "grudge race' with a friend
for bragging rights or simply want to find out just how fast their
own car really is!
All racing is 'heads up' with both cars leaving the starting line
simultaneously using a 4/10's Pro Tree. All drivers will receive
a Time Slip for each completed run indicating Reaction Time (RT),
Quarter Mile Elapsed Time (ET) and Finish Line Speed (MPH).
During each event MRP Tower Staff will track the quickest cars
and at the end of the night trophies will be awarded to the top
two drivers in each class.

Race Procedure:
Upon arrival at the track please proceed to the Tech Inspection
Area (west of the pit area) where your car will receive a safety
inspection by Mission Raceway Park Tech Officials. They will also
determine you class and assign a number to your car. If you need
to drain your antifreeze please do so before going to Tech. (DO
NOT DRAIN ANTIFREEZE ONTO THE GROUND - YOU MUST USE A CONTAINER)
Once you have passed Tech you can proceed to the general pit area
and prepare to race (anyone not capable of passing Tech will receive
a refund). Once the racing begins wait until your class has been
called before coming to the lanes. All announcements are broadcast
over the PA and can also be received on your car radio at 91.5FM.
Once you reach the head of staging you must be 'suited up' ie; seat
belts buckled, helmet on, windows up, etc, and be prepared to start
your car and race. An MRP Official will then direct you to the burnout
box. Only Slick Tired vehicles will be permitted to do a water burnout
(No other burnouts are permitted anywhere else on the facility).
All cars must self start and self stage. All drivers will be given
a reasonable amount of time to 'stage' their vehicle. New Drivers
to the MRP Street Legal events will have an N put on their windshield.
This will let the Starting Line crew know that you have never raced
before. Watch them, they will instruct you on the procedure to follow.
Any driver leaving the starting line before the tree is activated
will not receive a time. A "Red Light' start' will not effect
your times. Important - If you experience any difficulty on your
run down the dragstrip, please pull over to the outside of your
lane (near the guardrail) to avoid spilling of fluids on the dragstrip
which will require cleanup and delay the race program. Follow the
signals and directions of the Safety Crew as they may see a problem
you are unaware of. Once past the finish line please remember that
the Driver in the Left Lane (Tower Side) has the right of way. Proceed
down the return road to the 'ET Shack' to receive your Time Slip.
And remember to observe the 10kph speed limit on the return road
and the pit lanes while on the way back to your pit area.
