SCORING RULES
We will be using AMB RC4 decoders and LiveTime scoring system. All amb/mylaps 2 and 3 wire transponders will work.
Gyros or driving assist devices are not permitted in any classes.
We use Heat Race point system. The goal is to win your heat race and earn the lowest points possible in 3 rounds of qualifying. A heat race win equals 1 point, 2nd place equals 2 points, 3rd place equals 3 points ect. To set the features, we will add up your points from all 3 qualifiers and we will take the top 6 drivers with the lowest points total. Then bump up drivers from lower features to fill the A Feature. If there is a tie, the first tie break is the racer with the best heat race result. the second tie break is the racer with the best seed time from the seeding round.
YOU CAN USE ANY COMPOUND OFFERED IN THESE TIRES, YOU MUST USE THE LISTED INSERTS INCLUDED WITH THE TIRES.
***** INSERTS MUST BE RUN AS THEY COME FROM THE MANUFACTURER, THEY CANNOT BE MODIFIED OR ALTERED IN ANYWAY. THEY CANNOT BE TAPED,GLUED OR ATTACHED TO THE RIM. NO LINERS OR STRAPS OF ANY KIND OR STYLE MAY BE USED INSIDE THE TIRE.
