Grid Placement Process
- Fastest lap of previous event will be used.
- Any time a race event is missed, that driver will be placed behind all timed drivers based on his/her DR grouping, then Speedscore will be used if multiple drivers were absent. (This applies to Reserve drivers/newcomers/late sign ups as well)
-Attendance is rewarded by potentially affording a better starting position going into a next event.
This series will be a 2 race format:
1.) Warmup (very brief, typically 1 or 2 laps depending on track length)
No points, no starting position change. Just warm up.
2.) Points Race 1 (Laps to ~20 minutes)
(^^Grid based on fast lap from previous event, not warm-up^^)
3.) Points Race 2 (Laps to ~30 minutes)
(^^^Grid Reversed based on Previous Results^^^)

Driver Priority:
Drivers participating in 6 or more season 1 events will be considered "Primary Drivers" for the series. They are guaranteed their entry for each event as long as they Confirm their race status by Sunday 5pm est prior to race night.

(If any spots are open after being offered to Reserves, a late confirming primary driver can re-enter for the event.

(If any spots are open after being offered to Reserves, a late confirming primary driver can re-enter for the event.
Confirmation Policy
All drivers will be tagged by the Monday before Race Night.
Primary Drivers: Required to confirm status, either way by 5pm eastern time Sunday, to maintain their primary grid priority.
Reserve Drivers: Not Required to confirm, but bump in priority is given on a first to confirm available basis.
Drivers are encouraged and welcome to confirm their status at any time after a race event is complete up to the deadline.
Any driver who has confirmed attending, but must rescind their entry, must report in some way no later than 8:30pm est. No report/No shows may result in immediate forfeiture of the primary spot and may be placed on the Reserve roster.
***Also, any Primary drivers who fail to confirm their status or communicate in some way before the race night, or misses 3 consecutive events will forfeit their priority status and will be placed on the Reserve roster. The open spot will be awarded first based on most participation, and if equal among drivers, solicited to those drivers. First to reply among them will be awarded the vacated primary spot.***
Participation Policy
Any driver who is believed to have quit a race event prematurely without good reason will receive an automatic 5 point penalty against their race night total. If you must leave, leave quietly, and message here in the thread what happened. If a disconnect, or a rage quit and then came back to senses, come back to the race room.
A spot is being held for the night for you to race with others drivers potentially being turned away. Let's be certain we get the most out of it.
