1.2 Introduction Welcome to the ANDRA Supplementary Rulebook. ANDRA have developed this Supplement to the ANDRA 2017/18 Rulebook to give Exhibition Classes a quick and handy reference.

ANDRA hope that this is a useful addition for members and welcome any feedback on the publication. In future we hope to include more classes and applicable advertising.

To ensure that ANDRA do not pass the costs of this publication onto our members, this supplement will only be distributed in soft format via the ANDRA website.

Enjoy your racing!

1.3 A Note from ANDRA Technical This Rulebook Supplement is divided into two sections: Administration and Class Regulations. For additional regulations please refer to the ANDRA Rulebook.

Suggestions for improvement, clarity of rules and error identification are welcomed. If an ANDRA member claims that there is any ambiguity in these regulations, they shall present their claim in writing (email) to ANDRA Technical, who shall investigate the claim. No claim shall be presented during the running of any event or during the five day period preceding any ANDRA Championship event. Any claim proving a requirement for a change to the rules will be subject to the minimum 28 days of notice before the rule

Turbine Running Safety Guidelines and Emergency Procedures Starting, running and emergency procedures for jet powered vehicles can vary greatly from one engine manufacturer to the next, however, the general safety principals outlined herein should be adhered to whenever possible. These safety principles should be considered as an appendix to the current ANDRA safety and emergency procedures and the engine manufacturer’s maintenance manual with regards to temperatures, pressures and rpm limits etc.

Engine starting procedures are usually outlined in the engine manufacturer’s maintenance and/or service manuals, however when fitted to a jet dragster, funny car or truck, these procedures can be difficult to follow as the external engine controls, external plumbing and fuel supply systems will be considerably different.

Since engine internal configurations of the many engine types will generally be to the manufacturer’s specifications, the engine manufacturer’s rpm, oil pressure and egt limits should still be observed wherever possible.

Firefighting safety crew and equipment must be present during all running of jet powered vehicles. All crew must be well versed in the use of firefighting equipment and procedures.

Vehicles will be running Jet-A1, Avgas, Kerosene and/or Diesel fuel; a small amount of gasoline/petrol is often used for starting purposes on jet powered vehicles.

I 11

Please refer to the latest ANDRA Rulebook for the relevant safety/ emergency requirements in relation to start line and shut-down area procedures.

Some vehicles have external starter motor controls and power supply connections operated by a separate crew member while some vehicles are able to be started by the driver from within the cockpit. Operation of the external starting devices shall be performed by suitably trained crew/personnel.

Only starting personnel and/or crew chief is to be near the vehicle during starting and run-up operations.

The engine will not be started without the driver in the car, wearing all the required safety apparel and safety harness secured.

2

CLASS REGS

Only the persons operating the engine starter are to be beside the vehicle, perpendicular to the axis of the turbine or behind the vehicle during starting and running.

Note: A onetime only allowance of one tenth of a second during qualifying rounds only for breaching class limits.

There will be a onetime only allowance for excessive wheel standing during qualifying rounds. Any vehicles running outside this allowance, will be immediately disqualified and take no further part in the event.

Excessive wheel standing is defined as a deliberate and sustained wheel stand. To be determined by Chief ANDRA Steward or his designated observer.

Persistent breaches of exceeding class limits will be considered a contravention of regulation, and tribunal action may result.

Please be advised that it is the responsibility of Parents/Guardians of Junior Dragbike competitors to withdraw your racer/racers completely from any event, where they run quicker than the allowable ET cut off, as detailed above. If this is not done, a penalty of two meeting suspensions will be imposed and any points gained at that event will be forfeited.

Repeat offenders will face up to 12 months suspension and up to a $1000 fine. After the event is completed, all run sheets will be checked, and any team found to have breached this rule will be notified.

Qualification The Top Qualifier for the JB Eliminator will be decided by the quickest ET relative to class minimum. i.e. A/JB = 8.90, B/JB = 9.90.

Paired Runs Paired runs between Junior Dragbike vehicles and those from any other category is prohibited.
