NOTICE: Rules are subject to change without notice.

Modular Truck is open to all years, makes, and make/model trucks utilizing a late model Ford overhead cam V8 engine. SUVs are also allowed in the class. This class will run the same Open Comp format with a 1-tenth (1/10th) breakout.

Qualifying Information, Ladder Type, & Tree
The class will be qualified by positive reaction time (r/t) closest to “.000” based on a Pro .500 Tree. “.000” is a perfect reaction time. Any negative reaction time (-.001, -1.000, etc) will be placed at the bottom of the qualifying ladder. The more negative the reaction time, the further down the ladder the runs will be placed. For times when identical reaction times are made, qualifying position will be based on a first come, first served based. The first occurrence of the same reaction time will be placed first, and the second occurrence, placed second and so on.

All Run, NHRA Sportsman Ladder, Pro. 500 Tree, Handicap Start, autostart, courtesy Stage.

A 32 or less field will be laddered on a sportsman ladder. A 33 or greater field will be randomly paired and run until the field reaches 32 cars or less. Car placement on this ladder will be determined based on reaction time.
