Anger Management Racing Pro 11.50 presented by Russ DeLibero Emerald Financial Resources

The class is a 16 car field. The 16 quickest Corvettes entered in the Pro 11.50 class will compete using a sportsman ladder where the top half qualifiers race the bottom-half qualifiers. The pairings will be as follows: number 1 races number 9, 2 v. 10, 3 v. 11 and so on. The sportsman ladder helps to ensure competitive racing in every pairing in every round. Rules are minimal and are listed below in detail. The Pro 11.50 is open to all Corvette power combinations including naturally aspirated, supercharged, single turbo, twin turbo, nitrous and any combination of them. Basically, if you get your combination to run in the 11.50's, you have a chance to get into the show.

New for 2010, we will run a full 11 date schedule with the first race being a full payout, non-points warm-up race followed by 10 points dates. Also if the number 1 qualifier wins the event, they will be awarded with a 5 point bonus. Lastly points drivers will no longer be penalized if they run under the index.

The first and most important rule for Anger Management Racing Pro 11.50 is that the car must be NHRA legal for the elapsed time (ET) it is capable of. You are responsible for meeting all of the requirements. This includes the fire jacket requirement for cars with power adders that did not come from the factory. If there is any question on meeting the safety requirements contact Raceway Park tech director, Paul Bailey at Raceway Park or review the latest NHRA rule book or visit www.nhra.com. There are NO exceptions to the safety rules. The car must be legal for the Raceway Park Saturday racing rules.
