MidWest Championship Race Format

All racing classes will follow the same race procedure.

Entries will be placed in qualifying heats by the order entered/passed through technical inspection.

The first four entered will be in qualifying heat 'A', the next four will be in qualifying heat 'B' etc.

The qualifying heats will be one minute per lane, with one minute between lane changes and a one minute warmup prior to the start of the race.

 

Based upon the overall finishing position in the qualifying heats, racers will be seeded into the Main heats.

The overall top four lap totals will be in the 'A' Main, the next four lap totals will be in the 'B' Main, etc.

The Mains will be run from the bottom up so the 'A' Main will be the last race to be run.

The Main races will be 5 minutes per lane, with two minutes between lane changes and a two ninute warmup prior to the start of the Main.

 

Final class postion will be determined by overall lap totals. The entrant with the most laps is first, the one with the next highest lap total

is second, etc.

 

Tracks will be shutdown 30 minutes prior to the start time for that class/track for final track cleaning/prep. After the final track cleaning/prep is completed,

practice will be allowed in 1 minute intervals for racers to check out the final track conditions as they will be going into the qualifying and racing.

Entry and technical inspection will be open 30 minutes before scheduled race start time.

Tracks will be shutdown 10 minutes before the scheduled race start, to get everyone through entry/tech.

 

                                                 

                                             Points System

The points will simply be assigned based upon final finishing position in each class.  One point for first, two points for second, three points for third, etc.  The overall champion (and $500 recipient!) will be determined by adding together their three best finishes.  The lowest total number of points is the champion.  For example, the best possible score will be a ‘3’ for someone winning three classes.

In the case of a tie, points will be determined from the qualifying heats and used to break the tie.
