NAPA DRIFT SERIES RULES

No passengers allowed during qualification and competition, practice is ok

No Passing, unless it is safety related. 

No hands out the window at any time, doing so will forfeit your score during qualification or competition

You can change tires immediately after your top 16 or top 8 battles. If you need a tire change during a battle, you get one 5 minute rule to do so. 

One more times will go until a clear winner is determined. If you run out of tire, or have a mechanical failure, you forfeit your place. 

We will run tandem as we see fit, normally a car without a cage will not be able to run top 16 competition. Since New Mexico does not have many caged cars, we run staggered distances. Cars with cages can run close tandem.
