If there is a tie for a position, the tiebreaker is as follows: A. Number of elimination wins. B. The rating point system: Each driver will be rated according to his/her position in the standings. The rating system will begin after competition on the first points day (April 27). The rating will be as follows: If a racer is in first place, one rating point will be awarded; second place will receive two rating points, third place will receive three rating points, etc. If two or more racers are tied with the same amount of points for any position, they will each receive the same amount of rating points i.e. tied for fifth each racer gets five rating points. The rating numbers will be increased based upon what place the racer is in. This will continue through the end of the Ultra Quick 8 Points Series. On the last points day, if a racer is in seventh place and earns enough points on that day to move him/her into a tie for third place, the racer with the lower rating points will finish the year in third place and the higher rating points racer will be fourth. The only way a runoff will be necessary is if the earned points, number of wins, and rating points are the same. If after the tiebreaker, a result for a position has not been determined, a one-run run-off will occur. NOTE: Top 8 points earners after August 31, 2008 will receive an embroidered Jacket courtesy of Raceway Park.

You must attempt to qualify with a racecar capable of running 8.99 or quicker.

If you cannot run first round, tell a track official.
Quickest 8 cars qualify.
Eligibility to be determined by the Raceway Park Management.
Cars and/or drivers found NOT to be in compliance with these rules are subject to disciplinary action up to and including expulsion from the Quick 8.
Once all cars leave the bleach box area they may only cross the starting line one time for their burnout prior to their run. Example: Once you back up over the starting line after your burnout, the remainder of the race shall be forward motion only. If you cross the starting line again after this burnout, you will be disqualified. Racecars must back up after their burnout under their own power -- no pushing the racecar.
Oil Down Rule: If any racer leaks oil or any other fluid on the racetrack that requires a large clean up with the clean up machine, jet, track crew, etc., you will receive one warning for the season. Any incidents that require clean up after that one warning will cost you one point. This action is necessary for the safety and quality of the Ultra Quick 8 show. We hope this policy will encourage racers to triple check their racecars to prevent leakage on the racetrack.
Any racer in Quick 8 that refuses any post race tech procedure will be expelled from the Quick 8 for a period of two years from date of infraction and subject to penalties from the NHRA.
If a competitor is disqualified for any infraction (ie. Crossing center line, failing tech, etc.) his or her competition may be reinstated on an per incident basis by management.
