If you are unable to make the call for the Elimination Round, PLEASE let the MOMS Racing representative know!! This information is necessary so that we can match the ladder correctly during the Elimination Round. ( There will be no single runs during the Elimination Round, except as per rule #13).

If you go more than two-tenths quicker or 2 mph faster than your index, you will be determined the loser. If both cars go below their index by this amount the racer closest to his index will be declared the winner. Let’s qualify as fast as we can so the ladder stays competitive. (The only exception to this rule is between the top 2 qualifiers. If you are the #2 qualifier, and you want to step up your Mustang more than two-tenths or 2 mph in an effort to beat the #1 Qualifier-- Go For It!!) We don’t like to having to use this rule, but some people are intentionally holding back til eliminations to try and guarantee a win instead of leaving it up to the driving skill and reaction time.15. For purposes of determining year end results. and championships, drivers will be considered to be in the fastest class they participated in for the given season. Remember: The points are not transferable from class to class. If you run in more than one class, your points earned stay in the class they were earned in. The order of classes from the slowest to fastest for the purpose of this rule is: STREET, STREET LIMITED, STREET EXTREME, D. O. T., NATURALLY ASPIRATED, POWER ADDER.16. MOMS Racing reserves the rights to randomly inspect cars for rules violations. Any racer that refuses to subject their car to a visual or mechanical inspection (Not a tear down) may have their points forfeited and be removed from the racing program.17. Protest procedure: If you want to protest another competitor’s Mustang, for any reason, you must bring this to the attention of a MOMS Racing official before the 3rd round of qualifying. The protested driver will be made aware of who is protesting and for what at the time of the vehicle inspection. ( See Penalty points ) Warning!! Do not get carried away with protesting each other’s Mustangs. There are trophies and a lot of pride on the line, but it’s not worth the sanity of the MOMS Racing staff or making enemies of your competitors. The bottom line is to be safe and have a great time!! Enjoy the competition.
