2025 NHRA Summit ET Bracket Racing Series

Presented by GoFast Entertainment

Full Event Schedule & Gate Times

Race Competitively for Money and Trophies!

This is an 8 race series. Signing up for the team allows the racer to accumulate points for every race attended. The best 7 races count toward the points total for each racer for the 2025 class championship.  Anyone that races at least one race and signs up for the team qualifies to race at the Division 7 ET Finals.

Summit Series Info

Points System

How Points are Accumulated:

Please Keep Track of your points! We will keep score and post the points standings within a few days after each event. Updates will be posted on https://gofastent.com/summit-et-bracket-series and on our Team Facebook page. Please contact us if there are questions or discrepancies: firebirdteamsummit@gmail.com

50 points will be given to every racer that shows up and passes tech.
100 points for every round win in eliminations.
(first round losers will receive 50 points, second round losers, 150 points, etc)  

If you buy back after a first round loss, you will receive 70 points for every win starting in round 2

If you break your vehicle prior to first round, please notify us so that we make sure we record your 50 points.

If you race all 8 races, your lowest points earning race will be thrown out at the end of the series.

Qualifying Points: Qualifying Points will be awarded in each class for the 10 best reaction times from round #1 of eliminations (#1 will get 10 points, #2 will get 9 points, etc.)  ETMX class will earn qualifying points based off best Reaction time in both time runs.

Bonus Points: 10 additional points will be given to any racer that has a perfect reaction time in eliminations, and/or runs on their dial in with a zero.   


Second Round BuyBacks: Anyone who buys back into their category between first and second round will not earn first round points but will earn 70 points per winning round from there forward. Buy back will automatically re-enter competition in round two rather than having their own round.

For ET Finals information, see the "2025 NHRA SUMMIT RACING EQUIPMENT ET GUIDELINES" document near the bottom of this page. 

2024 NHRA Rulebook

Class Calls - 87.9 FM

Listen for your class to be called over the PA (radio station is 87.9 FM) and pull into the lanes designated by the announcer for your class. Please remain in the pit area until your class is called. Competitors not in the staging lanes 15 minutes after the first call will be considered a no-show and forfeit the race. We will do our best to accommodate all racers with reasonable amounts of time between runs, and the final call to determine a NO-SHOW will be at the discretion of the Race Director. 

Dial-In

You must stay within your index for the class that you signed up for. If you DIAL out of your class index at any time during eliminations and win, you will be disqualified, and your competitor will be reinstated. Each competitor will be responsible for checking the Dial In Boards and scoreboards for his/her dial in. If your "dial-in" on the main scoreboard is not correct, DO NOT PRE-STAGE your vehicle. Get the starter’s attention to make the necessary corrections (point at the scoreboard). Once you pre-stage, you have accepted the dial in for that round. There will be no re-runs if an incorrect dial-in is accepted by a driver.


*** MOTORCYCLE CLASS ***

The default setting in our motorcycle class is a .400 PRO tree. If you wish to run with a .500 FULL tree, put "F": after your DIAL-IN. A - (minus symbol) will appear on the scoreboard before your DIAL-IN. If you run a FULL tree and you do not see a dash before your DIAL-IN on the scoreboard, DO NOT PRE-STAGE. Get the attention of the Starter and wait for the tower to fix the tree type. No TRUStart or cross talk is used in ETMX. 

Class Index Cutoffs

Staging Lanes

Once in the staging lanes, lane changing or swapping is not permitted once you pass the Crosswalk. Once you cross the line at the head of staging no dial-in changes are allowed. If there are cars lined up in one specific lane at the end of a class, a coin flip by the Stager will determine lane choice.

Qualifying Time Runs

Each racer will get two time runs on race day.  For two-day races that include a Saturday and Sunday event, all racers will get two time runs Saturday and one on Sunday (if you raced Saturday also).  New entries racing on Sunday only will get two time runs.

Run For The Money

The second round of qualifying/time trials is a Run for the Money round for the following classes: Super Pro, Pro, Sportsman, Jr. Street, Jr. Dragster.


Participants: 

  • Put a DIAL-IN on your car that is within your bracket class
  • Pay $20 cash in the lanes
  • There will be no handicap at the start – you’re running against the clock, not the other lane
  • CROSS-TALK does not apply in Super Pro because the tree is not staggered.
  • Red lights will not disqualify you from winning, but will be used as a tie-breaker.
  • Win is based on the paid participant that runs closest to their chosen dial-in, withut breakout, within their class. In the event of a tie, the best non-red or least red reaction time takes the win, and if there is still a tie, the first one to run their number takes the win

  

NON-Participants: 

  • Treat this round as a qualifying run only. 
  • DO NOT put any DIAL-IN on your car

Breakage Rule

If your race vehicle breaks during QUALIFYING, please contact the race director or timing tower ASAP. You may tech and enter another vehicle, as long as that vehicle is not already in competition, before ELIMINATIONS in your class begin. You must dial an ET within your class. A refund will only be available if (1)you did not make a pass, and (2)you do not want your show up points.

Bye Runs

First-round bye runs will be determined by the racer with the best reaction time during qualifying runs in each class. Elimination bye runs for non-laddered rounds will go to the best reaction time from the previous round. You can only earn one  bye run in non-laddered rounds. If there is a tie in reaction times, then the first one to do it will qualify for the bye. #1 qualifier receives bye if applicable. The Potential Bye will be pulled to the side to wait until the end of the round to see if there is an odd number of cars. They will have lane choice if there’s an even number of cars and they do not get a bye run. 

Ladders

Eliminations will be laddered once the field of cars is 8 cars or less. The ladders are generated based off the most recent round of eliminations, based on reaction time, using a Sportsman ladder. Potential bye in the first laddered round is based off best reaction time in the prior round of racing, regardless of whether that racer had an earlier bye.

Cross Talk

Super Pro (box, electronic) class only. If you do not want Cross Talk please put an “N” behind your dial. MUST BE AFTER YOUR DIAL Otherwise cross talk will be activated. Look for a – (minus symbol) on the DIAL-IN displayed on the scoreboard at the end of the track. If the – is not present before the DIAL-IN, DO NOT PRE-STAGE… Get the attention of the Starter (point at the scoreboard).

Re-Runs

In the event of a re-run, both competitors will stay in the same lane as the previous run. Dial-ins may be changed. Ultimately up to the discretion of the race director.

Buy-Backs

In 2025,  we will continue to  allow first round competition losers to buy back into their category before round 2. Must pay cash in the tower between first and second round to re-enter. We will not collect in the lanes, and we will not collect from any racer once the first pair of cars pull in to the water box for the second round of your class.  Buy back opponents will not receive round 1 points, and for every round win following will obtain 70 points rather than 100. 

Prices: Juniors and Jr Street $20 / ETMX $30 / Sportsman $30 / Pro $40 / Super Pro $50.
