Heat Races (4-6 heats, depending on number of entries) – 10 laps each:  Top 8 cars inverted in heats by qualifying points/time. 36 points will be given for first place, minus 3 points per position thereafter. Heat race winner (regardless of point total), and the two or three highest in total points (total points include qualifying and heat points) in each heat transfer to the night’s A-Main.

 

Heat Race transfers…

  • If 4 Heats – 1st place and 3 highest in points transfer to A-Main.

  • If 5 Heats – 1st place and 3 highest in points transfer to A-Main.

  • If 6 Heats - 1st place and 2 highest in points transfer to A-Main.
