BURNOUT WARS RULES

Please expand the topics below and read through them carefully to learn more about our rules and regulations that apply to all of our events.
  • Only one passenger may accompany the driver in the burnout vehicle.
  • Passengers are required to remain seated within the vehicle at all times, refraining from excessive leaning out of windows.
  • Passengers must be at least 18 years old, unless authorized by a legal guardian.
  • Drivers are mandated to use the car registered for competition, unless granted explicit approval by an official. Additionally, drivers are prohibited from entering the pro class multiple times during a single event; each entry constitutes one attempt.
  • Participation of electric vehicles is 100% forbidden.
  • The starting position for drivers is determined through a pill draw format. Each assigned pill number corresponds to the order of vehicle runs and cannot be traded. (Pill 1 is the first to run, Pill 10 is the 10th vehicle to run, etc.)
  • Burnout vehicles are allowed to have non-operational rear brakes solely for competition purposes.
  • Every driver must be in possession of a currently valid driver's license, or alternatively provide proof of past driving history. In the case of drivers under the age of 18, authorization from a legal guardian is mandatory.
  • Final decision-making authority lies with the pit boss and directors.
  • Drivers are accountable for the conduct of their passengers.
  • Both driver and passenger must wear seat belts while the vehicle is in motion.
  • Vehicles are no longer subject to modifications or repairs during pre-staging and must be prepared for performance.
  • Non-compliance with competition rules and official instructions may result in disqualification, expulsion, permanent bans from the event and/or future events.
  • Mandatory attendance at the drivers' meeting is required for all drivers. Failure to attend may result in forfeiture of practice sessions or disqualification from participation.
  • Both driver and passenger door handles must be visible and operational from the front exterior.
  • Engine presentation is encouraged, but cleanliness is essential. Unclean engine bays will result in deductions for fit and finish.
  • No fluid leaks are permitted, and any leaks other than water will result in a Did Not Finish (DNF).
  • The cabin must be free of loose items.
  • The fuel tank must be securely mounted, properly vented, and preferably located outside the cabin or enclosed with a firewall.
  • Complete firewall fortification is required with no exposed holes leading to the driver cabin. There are no restrictions on fuel type.
  • Pill draw sticker serves as the event-ready certification.
    • Judges score runs on a scale from 0 to 100 points, considering factors such as instant smoke, constant smoke, volume of smoke, and driving skill.
  • Immediate Smoke (up to 10 points): Start with a smoking entrance! Judges reward seeing smoke right from the beginning. If your vehicle takes too long to start producing smoke, points may be deducted.
  • Continuous Smoke (up to 20 points): Keep that smoke show rolling from start to finish without any breaks. Smooth transitions and no hesitations earn you big points here.
  • Amount of Smoke (up to 20 points): Size matters! The bigger the smoke cloud, the better. But judges are also considering wind conditions and other uncontrolled variables, so keep that in mind.
  • Use of the Pad (up to 20 points): We encourage drivers to use the entire pad during their run.
  • Driving Ability (up to 30 points): This is where your driving chops shine. Judges will assess the flow of your run, car control, precision around the course, speed, and the aggressiveness of your run.
    • A minimum duration of 60 seconds is required to qualify; anything less results in a Did Not Finish (DNF).
    Penalties may be applied for reversing, stopping or stalling, inflated tires, failure to utilize the full pad, spilling fluids, and collisions with barriers affecting the run.
  • Reversing: Minus 1-10 points
  • Stopping or stalling: Minus 1-10 points
  • Inflated tires: If your tires are still puffed up, that's another deduction - Minus 5 points per tire.
  • Not utilizing the full pad: Minus 1-10 points
  • Crashing into a barrier that affects the run: Minus 1-10 points
  • Spilling fluids (other than water): Minus 1-100 points (excessive fluids spilled on track can result in a DNF)
    •
