A. Only registered owners or drivers may draw for position to deter-mine heat line-ups at each event.
B. Heat Races: Heat races are lined up by draw.
C. +Plus/-Minus: Each driver will receive a plus-minus value based on their assigned starting position and finish in their heat race.
Example:
Driver A starts 5th in heat #2 and finishes 2nd he will get a +3.
Driver B starts 1st in heat #1 and finishes 5th he will get a -4.
Driver C starts 3rd in heat #1 and finishes 3rd he will get a 0.
Driver D starts 7th in heat #3 and finishes 4th he will get a +3.
Driver E starts 3rd in heat #4 and finishes 3rd he will get a 0.
Drivers that earn qualified positions in the heat will use their
+plus or -minus value as their handicap or the feature lineup.
Tiebreaker #1: Ties are broken by highest finish in the heat.
Example #2: Driver A finished 2nd in his heat with a +3. Driver D finished 4th in his heat with a +3. Driver A wins the tie breaker because of his 2nd place finish.
Tiebreaker #2: If drivers are still tied after tiebreaker #1, the tie will be broken based on heat race order. Example #3: Driver C finishes in 3rd place in heat #1 with a 0. Driver E finishes 3rd in heat #4 with a 0. Driver C starts in front of Driver E because his finish was in heat #1.
