QUALIFICATIONS:

qualifier in the slower flight will be considered the #2 seed.  That will continue through the field and be used to grid feature lineups. Qualifying points will be awarded to the overall fastest six.

 

HEAT RACES:

8 laps

If there are 30 cars or less, three heat race events will be conducted.  If there are 31 or more cars in attendance, four heat races will be conducted.

FEATURE EVENT:

First three rows are determined by qualifying time, fastest at the front, with the fastest six heat race transfers inverted in positions 1-6.  If a heat race winner is not in the top-6 inversion, he or she will line up directly behind the six-car invert, straight up by qualifying time, followed by the balance of the field based on qualifying time.
