DRAG RACE SCRUTINEERING

Willowbank Raceway uses the IHRA Competitor Audit System (CAS). The Competitor Audit System requires that all entrants accept responsibility for compliance with safety and classification regulations relevant to their vehicle, prior to the event. The main advantage of this program from a competitor point of view is that it will significantly reduce the time you spend in the Scrutineering Bay. Once you have entered your vehicle you will receive Competitor Information & Declaration Forms that will explain the system and it's requirements.

TIME TRIALS / QUALIFYING

As with all Jamboree events, time trials/qualifying will be scheduled like a major meeting at Willowbank Raceway. Each class will have specific times allotted for their 3 time trial/qualifying passes. The race schedule will be confirmed after the close of entries on July 29th 2026. At this time the race schedule will be available on the event info page and emailed to each competitor.

Time trials/qualifying will run from 9.00am to approx 5.00pm. It is hoped that each entrant will have the opportunity to have 3 time trials but this cannot be guaranteed.

RACING

Racing will kick off at 9:00pm to 5pm (subject to change). Willowbank Raceway has a 3 amber xmas tree with a 0.400 countdown, a perfect reaction time is a 0.000.
