NHRA General Regulations

9:14  WARM-UPS

It is mandatory that a driver be seated in the car in the normal  driving position anytime the engine is running, unless coupler or driveline is removed from vehicle. The practice of transbrake testing, converter stalls, line-loc testing, and/or transmission warming is prohibited in all classes, in all areas of the event except in starting-line approach areas beyond staging, or unless vehicle is on jackstands. Non-compliance is grounds for disqualification or such other and/or action as deemed appropriate by NHRA.

The starting line approach area is defined as the last stopping point prior to being directed toward water box by track official. Jackstands also include dragster lifts and or pro-jack style lifting devices. A vehicle supported by a single centered jack is not sufficient. When a warm up infraction is witnessed by an official, the first infraction would be a loss of or DQ of run. Further violations could result in DQ of event.

Please observe the rules regarding warm-ups and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
