Welcome to the 25th NitrOlympX
The countdown is running: From 13 to 15 August, the European top teams will once
more meet on the Hockenheimring to turn the "Rico Anthes Quartermile" into the ultimate performance test bench for the 25th time.
The main interest of our visitors is probably once more targeted at the competitions for
the FIA Drag Racing European Championships. This is where all advertised classes are
competing for points – which will in many cases be decisive for winning the Championships.
Experience in the area of course preparation has now made "our TRACK" one of the best
4 second courses in Europe for Top Fuel Dragsters. This year, a team of NHRA specialists
will once more complement the Hockenheim crew in "Track Preparation & Safety" as well
as in the areas of pre-start and deceleration zones.
For the first time, the sportsman categories include the "Pro-ET" and "Super-Pro-ET"
classes, which we would like to welcome here.
As is tradition by now as well as a valuable part of track preparation, there will again be
"PUBLIC RACE DAYS" for street cars and bikes one week before the NitrOlympX
(07 -08 Aug.).
With the NitrOlympX of 1986 to 2008, Rico Anthes created a traditional event for international drag racing, which is now for the second time hosted by Hockenheim-Ring GmbH
as a promoter and the Badischer Motorsport Club (BMC) as sports organiser. The 2009
premier was highly successful. If all competitors and organisational team members come
to Hockenheim with the same joy in sports and positive attitude, nothing will be in the
way of a harmonious course of events.
We are looking forward to celebrating the 25th NitrOlympX together with you and hope
that the event will be free of both rain and accidents. The Hockenheim-Ring GmbH and
Badischer Motorsport Club team wishes all drivers a successful season and is looking forward to seeing you in Hockenheim!
With sportive regards
Badischer Motorsport Club
Hockenheim-Ring GmbH
P.S.: A preliminary schedule will soon be available on our racers page.

Prize money, travel expenses:
The form travel expenses settlement must be presented at document inspection fully
completed and included any possible individual receipts. The reason for this bureaucratic
effort is due to the tax office. Anyone not entering a travel expense statement must pay
taxes on any amounts we pay out.
Therefore, the prize money awarded for the different classes is divided into reimbursement for travel expenses and prize money. The prize money is paid by the club from the
entry fees paid. Reimbursement for travel expenses is paid right to the teams by the organiser, but only if the respective statement of travel expenses is present. In this case,
any amounts paid up to the height of the travel expenses named in the statement of
travel expenses will not be subject to tax. Please document any kilometres driven and
collect all receipts. Anyone submitting proper travel expenses will save taxes.
Rules, licenses:
The DMSB dragster rules shall apply for the NEAFP classes, the UEM regulations for
drag bikes and the FIA regulation for the Drag Racing European Championships.
www.dmsb.de
www.fia.com
www.uem-online.org
The event advertisements will be published on our homepage after approval www.nitrolympx.de -.
For ProET, the index from 9:00 to 11:99 sec. shall apply – any ProET competitors must
include a time slip as proof of time in their entry. The DMSB ProET and SuperProET
(7:00 to 8:99 sec.) regulations permit participation even without permanent MOT approval. The Super Gas and Super Comp classes are advertised according to the DMSB
regulations and qualified according to the class index.
Attention: No event licenses will be drawn up on site!
Only a valid drag racing licence of the DMSB or a foreign sports authority shall
authorise to participate in the event. The event status is International FIA and National
NEAFP (National Event with Authorized Foreign Participation). The vehicle class selected
on the entry form can no longer be changed after the last entry date. Any change of the
4
entry is only possible for technical reasons, and the decision on this will be made by the
race direction.
Start Crew:
Starting at SSB, SG & ProET, one helper each may accompany the vehicle to the starting
line, as of Pro-Bike, Competition & SuperProET two helpers and in the FIA classes five
helpers. All other crew members must board the crew vehicle after the pre-start or stay
back. For Super Gas, a crew vehicle in the starting area is only permissible in exceptions
for which a reason is given. The racing vehicles therefore must be able to start without
any aid and have sufficient motor cooling. All racing vehicles requiring a service car for
return must be equipped with a clearly visible tow hook.
Grandstand seats for competitors:
We have reserved seats in the lower rows of southern stand, zones A, B, C and D for
competitors. These places are easily accessible from the pre-start and starting area. The
team tickets authorise access to the grandstand areas.
If a team requires more tickets, a total of no more than 5 tickets (per team) can be
ordered for this stand area at a price of 60.00 Euro each (form "additional orders").
These discounted team tickets are only available upon pre-order and payment by the end
of the entry deadline. Drivers buying additional team tickets must have all ticket holders sign the waiver of liability as well.
A serious note: Access authorisation to the respective grandstand seats is printed on
the team tickets and the respective team ticket must be worn visibly by each team member at all times. Anyone encountered without a team ticket loses his/her right to participate. Team tickets must not be passed on to any "third parties"!
Schedule:
We are starting on Thursday, 12 August, at 10.00 a.m. (to 7.00 p.m.) with vehicle inspection; the end of inspection is Friday, 13 August, 5.00 p.m. On Friday, qualifying
rounds are driven already.
Participation in the 1st qualifying on Friday is only possible after technical approval of the vehicle on Thursday and presence at the driver briefing at 8 p.m.!
On Saturday, there are two more qualifying rounds on the schedule; starting at 4.00
p.m., there will already be the first elimination rounds for some classes. For elimination, the following staging rules shall apply: The ProET and SSB classes have exactly 15 seconds time after burnout to stand in both stage lights. For classes SG, SC,
STG and SuperProET, 20 seconds and for all higher classes 30 seconds shall apply as
period until both stage lights are lit.
Advice for the Qualifying: Every team should already complete a qualifying run on
Friday to give us a valid time for the flow charts. "Better safe than sorry!" While we have
another 2 qualifying rounds and any drivers have sufficient possibility to go through their
qualifying runs in the scope of the "normal" schedule, accidents, "oil-downs" or rain may
prevent this.
Pit spaces:
Pit spaces are only rented as a complete unit on request!
The pit facility is neither intended as accommodation for the crew, nor as a canteen
kitchen or pub. On the subject of waste: please use the respective containers (trash
5
bags available in the race office). Scrap parts and old tyres must not be left on the Hockenheimring premises!
Hospitality, Team Guests:
Catering to team sponsors and guests is to be considered hospitality and commits the
team to paying a fee depending on the size of the hospitality area. The basic prerequisite
for this is that every guest or sponsor buys a regular grandstand ticket.
Any team hospitality areas can only be permitted after coordination.
Selling the team's own souvenirs:
For selling team souvenirs such as t-shirts, caps, jackets, etc., a special permit by the
town of Hockenheim is required! Every team shall be personally responsible for getting
this special permit (contact: Oliver Lenhard, Phone: 06205 -950 241).
Paddock, Pit Space:
The rear (fenced-in) part of the large paddock main -A- is required as parking space for
the paddock grandstand visitors again. At 11 p.m., all paddock access routes are closed
and only competitors with team tickets are granted access after this time.
The parking spaces in the paddock are numbered and assigned. Our pit marshals will
show you the pit space assigned to you.
Assignment will be by class: ProET, SSB = 30 m², SuperProET, SG, SC, PSB/PB,
STW/TFB = 50 m² and CC, PM, TM, TF = 80 m². Anyone in need of any additional parking space must rent this for a fee (45.00 Euro are charged for 30 m² / 75.00 Euro are
charged for 50 m² – form "additional orders").
Passes for service cars (also service bikes / scooters, etc.) are labelled with the vehicle's
license plate number at document inspection. Vehicles parking in the paddock without a
car pass will be towed to the "Parc Fermé". Fee payable by the person collecting them!
The "WALKING SPEED" speed limit applies for all vehicles in the paddock!
Additionally, all service vehicles (also service scooters / motorcycles) are subject to the STVZO and the respective noise levels according to the operation
permit.
Vehicles without exhaust mufflers are taken out of service by the regulatory
authorities!
After 11 p.m., any "motorised traffic" in the paddock is prohibited.
Attention parents: Children are prohibited from any use of motorised vehicles!
Drivers can be excluded from the race if crew and children do not comply with
the rules. Children under 12 years of age may only be present in the paddock
under supervision of the parents. Roller skates and skateboards are prohibited
in the paddock.

Zusatz-Leistungen/ Additional Services:
Unsere Pit-Marshals zeigen Euch den zugeteilten Stellplatz im Fahrerlager. Die Einteilung erfolgt
nach Klassen: Für JD, ProET, SSB = 30 m², für SuperProET, SG, SC, STG, PSB/FB, STW/TFB
= 50 m² und für CC, PM, TM, TF = 80 m² kostenlose Stellfläche.
Wer zusätzliche Stellfläche benötigt, muss den Platz gegen Gebühr anmieten. 30 m² = 45,- Euro,
50 m² = 75,- Euro Mietgebühr (Bestellformular mit Nennung einsenden).
Zusätzliche Team-Karten (max. 5 pro Team) können zum Preis von je 60,- Euro bestellt werden.
Die Boxen in Hockenheim sind jeweils zu einer Einheit von 6 Stellplätzen zusammengefasst (mit
WC und Strom). Neben der Schlüssel-Kaution ist eine Miete von 450,- Euro pro Boxeneinheit zu
entrichten zuzüglich einer Strom-und Reinigungspauschale von weiteren 150,-Euro. Wie schon in
den letzten Jahren werden nur noch komplette Boxeneinheiten vermietet.
Die Nutzung für Küche, Camping, Party sowie Rauchen in den Boxen ist verboten. Die Aufsichtsbehörden ermahnen uns jedes Jahr wegen ständiger Verstöße gegen die Sicherheitsbestimmungen, z.B. rauchende Crew-Mitglieder neben der Lagerung feuer-gefährlicher Substanzen. Deshalb wird jede Boxeneinheit nur nach vorheriger Absprache an eine Vertrauensperson vermietet,
die eine Fahrergruppe oder mehrere Teams vertritt und bereit ist, für alle eventuellen Vorkommnisse die Verantwortung zu übernehmen.
Trailer-Stellplätze für PRO-Teams (PM–TM-D/FC–TF) auf der Start/Zielgeraden der F-1 Rennstrecke werden nur nach vorheriger Absprache vergeben und jedes Team zahlt 150,- Euro Gebühr
für Stromanschlüsse, WC-Einrichtung und die Reinigung der Rennstrecke. In diesem Jahr ist in den
PRO-Klassen mit einer deutlich erhöhten Teilnehmerzahl zu rechnen. Stellflächen auf der Start/
Zielgeraden werden deshalb diagonal in einem 45 Grad Winkel zur Strecke angeordnet, wobei nur
12 m des Anhängers mit Zeltvorbau auf der Asphaltfläche stehen können. Die Länge des Trailers ist
auf dem Bestellformular anzugeben. Zugfahrzeuge und Lkw müssen auf der Grasfläche stehen und
der Boden unter dem Rennfahrzeug muss mit einer Plane abgedeckt werden. Die PRO-Teams
werden nach FIA-Klassen aufgestellt und haben Vorrang.
Trackside-Stellplatz für andere Teams gibt es nur in begründeten Ausnahmefällen!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Our pit marshals will show you the parking area assigned to you in the paddock. Assignment is
according to class: JD, ProET, SSB = 30 m², SuperProET, SG, SC, STG, PSB/FB, STW/TFB =
50 m² and CC, PM, TM, TF = 80 m² free of charge parking space.
Anyone requiring additional parking space must rent this space for a fee. 30 m² = 45.00 Euro,
50 m² = 75.00 Euro rent (send in ordering form with entry).
Additional team tickets (max. 5 per team) can be ordered at a price of 60.00 Euro each.
The pits in Hockenheim are always combined in units of 6 parking spaces (with toilet and electrical
power) in addition to the security deposit for the keys; rent amounting to 450.00 Euro per pit unit
shall be paid, as well as a lump sum of an additional 150.00 Euro for power and cleaning. As in
the last years, only complete pit units are rented out.
Usage for kitchen, camping, parties and smoking in the pits is prohibited. Every year, we receive complaints from the regulatory authorities due to continuing violations of the safety regulations, e.g. smoking crew members next to stored fire-hazardous substances. Therefore, every pit
unit is only rented out after coordination and to a person of trust who represents a group of drivers
or several teams and is ready to accept responsibility for any possible happenings.
Trailer parking spaces for PRO teams (PM–TM-D/FC–TF) on the starting / home stretch of the
F-1 race track are only assigned after coordination and every team shall pay a fee of 150.00 Euro
for connection to electrical power, toilet facilities and cleaning of the race track. We are expecting a
clear increase of the number of participants for the PRO classes this year. Parking spaces on the
starting / home stretch are therefore aligned diagonally at a 45 degrees angle to the track, and
9
only 12 m of the trailer with canvas porch will be able to stand on the asphalt area. The trailer
length must be indicated in the order form. Tractors and trucks must be parked on the grass, and
the ground under the race vehicle must be covered with a tarpaulin. The PRO teams are set up
according to FIA classes and are given precedence.
Trackside parking spaces for other teams are only awarded in exceptional cases for which reasons
are given!
