Qualification and Main Races

• Qualification races are 4-6 minutes.
• Main Event races are 6-30 minutes.
• Qualification and Main Event races may change due to unforeseen events or situations (classes, available time, or the number of competitors).

Points

• Five (5) race point series. Two (2) throw-out rounds.
• Double points awarded for one (1) round.

• Each racer will start each "A" Main with 100 points.
• Race officials and competitors will keep a record of points.
• Points will be deducted from racers based on their position at the end of the “Main”. For example: If a racer finishes first, then that racer will maintain 100 points. Furthermore, if a racer should finish second, that racer will deduct a point form his 100 points and will have 99 points. The third finisher will continue this process and his points will reflect 97 points. See chart below.
• Points are awarded at the end of each round to all racers that make it to the "A" Main Events only.
• Top Qualifier (TQ) for "A" Main Event(s) will receive an additional five (5) points.

Awards

• The top three "A" Main Event finishers in each class will be awarded a trophy.
• Top Qualifier (TQ) for each class will be awarded a trophy.
• Awards/acknowledgements will be given to all finishers.

Fees and Registration

• Entry Fee: First Class- $25.00. All additional classes are $15.00.

Conduct

• Unsportsmanlike conduct is any action or language that may be regarded as abusive to a spectator or another racer. It is not allowed before, after, or during a race.
• Unsportsmanlike conduct may result in loss of points or disqualification or other penalties as outlined in “local” track rules and at the discretion of track officials.
• Cars cannot be pushed across the finish line.
• Drivers are not to drive against the flow of a race, block faster drivers, or attempt to purposely wreck another driver.
• Shortcutting the track is not allowed. If a driver cuts the track, he/she must pull aside and allow the competitor immediately behind him/her to pass. Failure to do so will result in penalties (10 seconds, a lap per offense, or qualifier.)

Marshals

• Every competitor is expected to marshal immediately after his/her race or designate a substitute and immediately notify race officials of the change.
• Penalty for not marshalling is one lap off of best qualifier.
• Cars that can no longer continue in a race will be removed from the track.
• Turn Marshals will not repair cars during a race.
• Turn Marshals must remain on the track until each race has been officially completed.

Radio

• To avoid possible frequency conflicts, racers should consider having a second frequency available to compete. DSM/Spektrum-type radios will be the exception.
• Only a race official may authorize a frequency change.

• Radio impound will be immediately after a qualification/main event ends. The exception to this is that a competitor will use the same radio for immediate use.

Practice

• Practice will terminate one (1) hour prior to the start of the first qualifier.
• All practice will be monitored by a race official.

Rain-outs

• If a race does not start, then no points will be awarded. However, if a race begins and it becomes necessary to halt that race, then, points will be awarded based on the best heat. There will be no make-up races.
