All support racing at Dragmasters will be conducted in fixed-index, heads-up fashion using one-second increments (more or less brackets may be included at the discretion of event organisers). There will be no DYO racing at Dragmasters events. All racing will have an even start (heads-up).


7.90 heads-up
8.90 heads-up
9.90 heads-up
10.90 heads-up
11.90 heads-up
12.90 heads-up
13.90 heads-up
14.90 heads-up

Any vehicle in the fixed-index support racing that runs faster than its nominated time LOSES. This means that if a 14.90 vehicle runs 14.89, it loses. This is called a "Breakout". If both vehicles breakout the win goes to the vehicle that breaks-out the least. This impacts the race and puts a major emphasis on the driver. The race becomes a matter of predicting vehicle performance and applying driving/tuning ability to make your vehicle run the fixed index you put on the window. At the same time, you have to beat the car and driver in the other lane to the finish line without breaking out. The NZDRA first or worst rule also applies for infringements.

All competitors in the support racing will have three rounds of voluntary practice before nominating which fixed index bracket to compete in. Dragmasters will use the Swedish rounding system for brackets, ie: whatever time you are closest to at the end of practice determines which fixed-index you will race against.

Support brackets are open to all competitors from Nightspeed Drag Wars and NZDRA racers who hold the appropriate licence. Day Affliation will be available at the track. Support entries will be limited to the first 250 vehicles.
