*Teams may only compete in one class for points. Owners may field a car in multiple classes and receive points as long as it is a different owner/driver combination in each class. Drivers may not run for points in more than one class.

WEEKLY RACE NIGHT PROCEDURES

Race Night Lineup Point Structure

We use a point system to determine our feature lineups for all sprint car classes on weekly race nights. Drivers start with time trials and are awarded the following points:

Time Trials - 1. 200; 2. 198; 3. 196; 4. 194; 5. 192; 6. 190; 7. 188; 8. 186; 9. 184; 10. 182;
11. 180; 12. 178; 13. 176; 14. 175; 15. 174; 16. 173; 17. 172; 18. 171; 19. 170; 20. 169; etc.

Heats have an invert of six, with quick time starting outside row three of the first heat, second quick starting outside of row three of the second heat, and so on.

Drivers are awarded points for their heat finishes:

Heats - 1. 100; 2. 97; 3. 94; 4. 91; 5. 88; 6. 85; 7. 82; 8. 79; 9. 76; 10. 73; 11. 70; 12. 67.

Points from qualifying and heats are added together. The invert options (by points) are 4 (starting the feature outside row two), 6 (starting the feature outside row three) and 8 (starting the feature outside row four). The invert is drawn after the last heat in each class, normally by the last heat winner. The second highest driver in points will start on the same row inside, third highest in points will start outside the row in front of them, and so on.

Drivers starting outside the invert will line “heads up” by their point totals.

Starting with the B main, drivers will be lined up by their accumulated points for that night.

• Check is split between owner and driver
