DuneFest 2009 Drag Racing Information
Oregon Off Road-Racing Association

Drag Racing Area is Fenced and Secure for Drag Racing Only

Portatree Professional Ultimate Timing System
with Gold Box Interface


• This is an NHRA Approved Timing System upgraded with inferred lights
• Not affected by any white lights
• Each light works on it’s own frequency; there is no cross lighting

HOW IT WORKS:
• The tree controls the left and right lane
• 2 pre-stage and 2 stage lights at the top
• When tires covers both pre-stage and stage lights lane is staged
• When both lanes are staged there is a random delay of 1 to 3 seconds
• Tree is started

SPORT LIGHT
• 1, 2, 3 yellows comes on then 4th green
• 1234 .4 tenths of a second; so it’s called a 4 tenth starting tree

PRO LIGHT
• All three yellow lights come on same time then green you GO

QUESTION OF THE RED LIGHT – DISQUALIFICATION
• If you pre-stage and stage and then roll out of the lights after tree has started – YOU RED LIGHT
• If you roll in too far and your pre-stage light comes back on that is
Deep Staging - YOU RED LIGHT
• If you start before your green light comes on:
you hit the guard beam roll forward out of the pre-stage light – YOU RED LIGHT

BRACKET RACING USING DIAL TIMES
• If you go faster than you dial time You Broke Out and you loose
• If both lanes brake out the worst brake out looses
THE NEXT SET OF LIGHTS ARE 60 Feet AWAY
This tells how you fast you get off the line

Any questions about Drag Racing or the NHRA approved timing system please ask any OORA Official

Oregon DuneFest in Reedsport/Winchester Bay is the premier dune event in the nation. The complexity of the dunes, the expansive area available to riders and the welcoming community all contribute to the success of the festival.

The drag racing action will take place on the sand dunes managed by Douglas County Parks and is promoted by the Oregon Off-Road Racing Association (OORA). DuneFest offers sand excitement for all ages and skill levels, with trophies awarded in many categories!

Everyone is encouraged to participate in these fun events. OORA staff members will be on hand to help kids at the races, especially first-timers who may not understand the rules.

DuneFest 2009 Drag Racing is sponsored by Oregon Off-Road Racing Association (OORA).

 

 

The drag race is an acceleration contest between two vehicles. The 300 foot race is officially started by the computer-activated light tree in the middle of the track. Infrared lights, accurate to one millisecond, monitor the vehicles as they finish the race.

Dune Fest offers four levels of racing in sand drags:

Pee-Wee
Children under the age of 16 with little to no past experience

Junior
Children under the age of 16 with some past racing experience

Sportsman
Adults over the age of 16 with little to no past experience.

Sportsman classes are divided into time brackets for all vehicles. The races are for fun and trophies, but do not offer cash prizes. All sportsman races carry a $25 entry fee.

Professional
Pro racing drivers receive $500 for first place and $250 for second. A $75 entry fee must be paid by each professional racer.

All posted pro payouts are based upon 10 or more entries in each class. If there are fewer than 10 entries in a class, the payout is 100 percent of the entry fees split 70/30.
