During a qualifying attempt, if there is an error in the timing light, a flagman error, or a tower error where the lap times for the white and checkered flag laps are not obtained, the car qualifying will be red flagged and stopped on track where the handler may choose to either:
a - Choose to start the qualifying attempt over, i.e. (warm-up, green, white, checkered flag laps) where timings occur on white flag and checkered flag lap or
b - if only one lap time is needed, driver may retain original lap time and receive a warm-up, green, and checkered flags) where the lap time will be taked on checkered flag lap.
The top four qualifiers for Juniors and top five qualifiers for Seniors will automatically be locked into the A-main. Best Qualfiying time will start in 1st position, 2nd best qualifying time in 2nd position, etc.
Drivers qualifying in positions 5-8 / 6-10 will start in order they qualified in the B-Main, 9-12 / 11-15 in the C-main, etc.
The top four drivers for Juniors and top five drivers for Seniors finishing in each main will move to the next main in finishing order.
Driver must attempt to race in heats, and or, until failing to make "A" feature to qualify to receive points. A driver cannot just qualify and leave event receiving points.
If there are any ties in points at the end of the season, trophies will be decided by averaging the finshes from the first fours point's races. If there is still a tie after the first average, then the first three races will be averaged and so on.
