Class Description:
The Orme Bros Open Comp is a "Door Car" class
that is designed for all vehicles and
trucks that run slower than 8.50 seconds in the 1/4 mile. Dragsters,
Alters & Motorcycles are not permitted. The "Open Comp" class
will be run on an Open Comp format with a 1-tenth (1/10th) breakout.
What this means is, you get 3 rounds of qualifying. You take 1/10th off
your quickest time and that is your automatic dial-in for eliminations.
This time will be yours throughout eliminations (it does not change).
The best reaction time is the #1 qualifier, you will then be put on a
Sportsman ladder for eliminations. There is basically no rules in this
class, so come out and have some fun.
