2020 Outlaw Fuel Altered Association Series Rules & Race Procedures 2020 Outlaw Fuel Altered Association Series Rules & Race Procedures MISSION STATEMENT: Continue in our 24th consecutive season providing a thrilling nostalgia drag racing experience for tracks, fans, sponsors and racers across the Southwest! While also prioritizing safety and organization to provide fun, professional and unique old school drag racing entertainment. RULES COMMITTEE: Larry Reep, Jimmy Jones, Donnie Massey, Allen Meyer PRESIDENT: Chris Graves The Outlaw Fuel Altered Association relies 100% on the majority vote of the above rules committee in regards to all race procedures and series rules. At any point, any OFAA member may present any of the committee members with a rule amendment / suggestion at which the committee will then discuss, move to vote if necessary, then vote on the topic to determine its applicability. In the event a committee member ceases to compete in the OFAA, or requests to withdraw, it is the choice of series President to appoint a new member. In the case that an additional vote is necessary, series President Chris Graves will be the filling / tie breaking vote. GENERAL REGULATIONS: A. All participants, crews and drivers shall adhere to the rule book of the sanctioning body of the host track. The track sanction rule book shall be the foundation for all competition in the Outlaw Fuel Altered Association (OFAA) unless otherwise stated in this rules supplement. B. Prime responsibility for the safe condition and operation of a vehicle in competition rests with the vehicle owner, driver, and crewmembers. Close observance of the standards set forth in this rules supplement and the track sanctioning rule book is required for all participants, including owners, drivers, and crewmembers. However, drag racing is dangerous. Therefore, no express or implied warranty of safety is created from publication of, or compliance with OFAA Rules Supplement or track sanctioning rules, nor does compliance with either guarantee against injury or death to participants. C. Drag racing is a dangerous sport. Drag racing always carries with it the risk of serious injury or death in any number of ways. The participant always has the responsibility for the participant’s own safety, and by participating in drag racing, the participant accepts all risks of injury, whether due to negligence, vehicle failure, or otherwise. If at any time a participant does not accept these risks, the participant agrees not to participate in drag racing with the OFAA series. D. The OFAA rules and track sanctioning body rules provide guidelines and minimum standards for the construction and operation of vehicles used in our events. Additional safety equipment or safety- enhancing equipment is always permitted and encouraged. The OFAA do not prohibit the individual racer from using additional safety equipment. Participants are encouraged to investigate the utility of additional safety devices. E. It is the responsibility of the participant, not OFAA, or the host track facility, to ensure that all safety equipment is approved and is correctly installed, worn and maintained. It is the responsibility of the participant to ensure participant’s race vehicle meets or exceeds the safety equipment requirements set forth in the OFAA rules and the host track sanctioning guidelines prior to, during and throughout event. OFAA will not be held responsible for damages resulting from participant or vehicle disqualification due to inability to pass technical inspection. Host track technical officials hold ultimate authority in technical inspection approval or denial. OFAA does not have the authority to override member track technical officials. F. The participant agrees that by entering and participating in an event, the participant has had the opportunity to inspect the event site and acknowledges that the event site is safe and suitable for racing. The participant agrees that he or she will not participate in the event if he or she does not believe that the event site is safe and suitable for racing. The participant further agrees that by entering and participating in an event, the participant has had the opportunity to ascertain the staff and equipment on hand, including without limitation number and location of personnel and number and type of rescue equipment, and acknowledges that the staff and equipment are adequate and suitable for racing. The participant agrees that he or she will not participate in the event if he or she does not believe that the staff and equipment are safe and suitable for racing. The participant also acknowledges that by participating in the event, the participant may suffer bodily injury or death or loss or damage to property. The participant further acknowledges that the participant has voluntarily assumed the risk of bodily injury or death. G. Participants hereby grant OFAA and its assignees (a) full and unconditional permission to make still or motion pictures and any other type(s) of audio or visual recordings of their and their vehicle’s participation in the event and their activities at the site of the event before, during, and after the event and reasonably related to the event; and (b) the exclusive, worldwide and perpetual rights to use the same, together with their names, likeness, and biographies of participants, and the names, likeness, and date of, or relating to, their entered vehicles for publicity, advertising, exhibition or exploitation, whether or not for profit, in print, audio, video, and other communications media by reproduction and sale or other distribution by any and all means.

  • Melanie Troxel August 31, 1972 – Present Nationality: American Raced: 1997 – Present
    Melanie Troxel August 31, 1972 – Present Nationality: American Raced: 1997 – Present Background: Melanie Troxel was born in Littleton, Colorado in 1972. She became involved in motor sports at an early age, spending her childhood at the race tracks with her dad, Mike Troxel, a veteran dragster and 1988 Top Alcohol Dragster World Champion. Melanie began her own drag racing career while she was in high school. Her first race came at age sixteen, when she drove a car with an engine she built herself for a school project. She received her first drag racing license in Super Comp, but it was just a starting point for the young driver. Troxel attended Frank Hawley’s Drag Racing School in Florida, and in 1997 she earned licenses in Funny Cars and in Dragsters, becoming the first woman licensed to drive in both classes. After competing in Federal-Mogul Dragsters for a few years, she made the switch to Top Fuel in 2000, driving for Don Schumacher Racing. In December 2003, she married Funny Car racer Tommy Johnson, Jr. Lack of sponsorship forced her out competition in the latter half of the 2003 season and in 2004, but in 2005 she was back racing. Her first full season in Top Fuel came in 2006 and it was a breakthrough year for Troxel. She earned two victories and won a number of awards for her performances throughout the season. Following two more wins in 2007, she joined the R2B2 Racing Team and began competing in the NHRA Funny Car competition the following year. With her victory at Bristol, Tennessee in May 2008, she became just the fourteenth racer to score wins in both the NHRA Top Fuel and Funny Car classes.

It is the responsibility of the participant to be familiar with the contents of these Technical Regulations and to comply with its requirements. It is not the responsibility of the officials to discover all potential rule compliance issues. The responsibility for compliance with these Technical Regulations rests first and foremost with the competitor. Additional safety equipment or safety-enhancing equipment is always permitted and the levels of safety equipment stated in these Technical Regulations are minimum prescribed levels for a particular type of competition and do not prohibit the individual competitor from using additional safety equipment. Competitors are encouraged to investigate the availability of additional safety devices or equipment for their type of competition. In disputed cases, whether an item, device or piece of equipment is safety-enhancing or performance-enhancing will be determined by the FIA Technical Delegate or the FIA Technical Department. Furthermore, as to performance-enhancing equipment, it is the general principle that unless optional performance-enhancing equipment or performance- related modifications are specifically permitted by these Technical Regulations, they are prohibited. Throughout these Technical Regulations, a number of references are made for particular products and equipment to meet certain standards and specifications (i.e. FIA-Standard, SFI Specs, Snell, DOT, etc.). It is important to realize that these products are manufactured to meet certainspecifications, and upon completion, the manufacturer labels the product as meeting that standard or specification.

  • Two More Hawley Top Dragster Grads Join the 200 MPH Club While Their
    Two More Hawley Top Dragster Grads Join the 200 MPH Club While their personal backgrounds may be quite different, their goals and aspirations mirror that of the many who seek to push themselves into the sometimes seemingly unimaginable 200 MPH threshold. Not only did both Jim Fitzgerald and Bob Panoff acquire their first 200 MPH quarter mile passes during their Top Dragster class at Frank Hawley’s Drag Racing School, they both did so while reaching into the six second zone. Georgia resident, Jim Fitzgerald has been drag racing for well over a decade, starting with E.T.’s in the low fourteen second range. Once his Mustang was upgraded and began making runs in low nine’s, he made the decision to attend a Super Class at Frank Hawley’s Drag Racing School, where he earned his NHRA Super Gas license. “I had so much fun during my first class with Frank, I attended the [Super] class again the following year and drove the dragster,” Fitzgerald pointed out. “I was ready to "step it up" a little and Frank’s Top Dragster class was the perfect opportunity.” In addition to being a drag racer, Fitzgerald enjoys skydiving, holds a commercial pilot’s license with several ratings and most of his drag racing experience has come from his participation in Fun Ford Weekends and National Mustang Racing Association [NMRA] events behind the wheel of his 2000 Mustang. What he strapped into during his Frank Hawley Top Dragster class, was a whole new experience for the retired Fortune 100 executive. “The car was a thrill to drive and the class was very informative and worthwhile, as always,” he said.

  • Frank Hawley's Drag Racing School Top Dragster Grad Proves One's
    Frank Hawley’s Drag Racing School Top Dragster Grad Proves One’s Age is Just a Number He may be seventy years old and an age where most are starting to slow down and enjoy a lighter pace in life, but Florida resident Ronald Shalla, who goes by R. Lee, is doing just the opposite and recently drove over 200 MPH in 6 seconds during his Top Dragster class at Frank Hawley’s Drag Racing School in Gainesville, Florida. Shalla has been a fan of all things fast for decades, spending his earlier years racing his street cars at local drag strips when Iowa was his home. Fast forward fifty years or so and the semi-retired Shalla, who spent forty plus years in the aviation field, is finally getting to check a few things off his “must do” list. The ball started rolling for Shalla about six years ago when he and a group of friends that make the trek to the NHRA GatorNationals each year all talked about getting together and having a dragster to race. With none of the friends in the group holding a NHRA competition license, Shalla took it upon himself to attend one of Frank Hawley’s Drag Racing School’s Super Classes. “So here I earned my Super Comp license and the next time we all got together for lunch I said to them, ‘Well let’s start talking about this dragster again’,” he chuckled. “Like who’s going to buy it, who’s going to maintain it, because I can tell you who’s going to drive it.” While the group dragster plan hasn’t come to be as of yet, Shalla has continued to keep up his license by making trips to Hawley’s School from time to time and make refresher passes in one of the school’s dragsters.
