Format
· Heats will line up based on pill draw.
Drivers will receive finishing point and passing points for positions
gained. Points are deducted for positions lost.
· Qualifiers will line up based on points from heat
with top point man starting pole of Qualifier 1, 2nd high point man
pole of qualifier 2, etc.
· Friday night feature will be lined up based on
top finishers from each qualifier (ex. 8 qualifiers, top 3 will transfer to
A-Main) to make up our 24 car starting field for Friday's A-Main. Top 6 in the
feature will automatically transfer to Saturday A-Main.
· We will do the same thing on Saturday
beginning with pill draw. From our Qualifiers, the top finishers will be
sent either directly to the A-Main or into an LCQ ( ex. with 6 qualifiers, the
top 2 will transfer to the A and positions 3-5 will go to the LCQ. Top 6
finishers in the LCQ will advance to the A-Main.

Please make note of this number as some were assigned their second or third
choice. The entire number needs to be visible on both sides of your
