Point System Formula
1. Total miles divided by 10
2. Prize money divided by 100
3. In multiple entry races you can only collect points for your highest
position in any class, and you cannot receive points for beating yourself.
4. Number of drivers minus position:
Example: Placed 4th in a 10 mile, 2 day race with 10 drivers and won $200.00 in prize money.
A. 20 Miles divided by 10 = 2.00 pts.
B. $200.00 divided by 100 = 2.00 pts.
C. 10 drivers minus position 4th = +6.00 pts.
Total = 10.00 pts.Note:
When adding your points for the season only your top 5 races count towards your final points.
The race information must be sent into the site no later than 12:00 midnight on the Monday prior to the weekend of the race in order to be considered in the points. Minimum requirements are a race date as well as a contact person. More detailed information is preferred in the form of a race ad placed in the newsletter one month prior to the event date.
