Rule #2
Be safe.
Check-in & registration
- Register and check in before the drivers’ meeting at the event tent in the race area at every event.
- Sign your required waiver and check in before qualifying and race day.
Tape, flags & cones
- TAPE: Your vehicle must not break the caution tape. If a foreign object—such as a rock, stick or tree debris thrown from the tires—breaks the tape, keep racing.
- FLAGS: Don’t run over a flag. If a foreign object such as dirt, a rock or a stick knocks it over, keep racing.
- CONES: Don’t knock over the cones. If they stay standing, keep racing.
Recovery
- No winching.
- No outside help with recovery while the clock is running.
- Self-recovery is allowed, but without using a winch.
Full sends—that’s the answer.
Machines & time limits
- You may run a different machine, but not another machine that is being raced by another driver during that weekend’s series race.
- The time limit will be set according to the course.
Required safety gear
- Helmet and harness are required.
- Retractable harnesses are not allowed.
- A good, solid cage is recommended.
Be brutal, not dumb.
The three-class points system below is confirmed. Race-official approval is required before results and standings become official.
Confirmed scoring
Two days.
One total.
Every championship point earned on qualifying day and race day counts, including points earned in DNF Class.
Event total
Qualifying points + race-day points
Season total
Sum of all eligible event totals
Day 1 · Qualifying
250 DNF
- The actual chip draw determines qualifying order.
- Successful runs are ranked by fastest elapsed time.
- 1st earns 1,000 points; each following position earns 10 fewer.
- A qualifying DNF earns 250 points and advances to DNF Class.
Position points = 1,000 − 10 × (position − 1)
The three-class split
Fast
Top half of successful qualifiers.
Slow
Bottom half. An odd extra racer goes here.
DNF
Only racers who DNF during qualifying.
Classes are assigned only after a race official approves qualifying.
Day 2
Race-day points
| Class | Finishing position | 1st | 2nd | Race-day DNF |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fast | 1,000 − 10 × (position − 1) | 1,000 | 990 | 500 |
| Slow | 1,000 − 10 × (position − 1) | 1,000 | 990 | 500 |
| DNF | 500 − 10 × (position − 1) | 500 | 490 | 250 |
DNF Class continues decreasing by 10 per finishing position. A repeat race-day DNF earns 250 race-day points.
