SECTION 2: COMPETITION FORMAT
2.01: Race Format: The competition format may be altered by the Gen. Mgrs. at any time as deemed necessary.
2.02: Qualifying: Each Competitor is given two individual qualifying laps to determine where they will start in a heat race. Their fastest of those 2 laps will be the lap of record. If a competitor misses their spot in the qualifying order by more than two spots, they are allowed one qualifying lap at the end of the time trial session.
2.03: Heat Race: A 10 lap race that determines which cars will move on to the A-Main or B-Main                                                                                                 

2.04: Inversion: The top 16 cars from time trials are inverted in the heat races, meaning that the fastest qualifier in time trials starts in the 4th spot in the 1st heat. The 2nd fastest qualifier starts in the 4th spot in the 2nd heat. The 3rd fastest qualifier starts in the 4th spot in the 3rd heat, & the 4th fastest qualifier starts in the 4th spot in the 4th heat (when 4 heats are run). The 5th fastest qualifier starts 3rd in the 1st heat. The 6th fastest qualifier starts 3rd in the 2nd heat, and so on, working up to the 13th fastest qualifier starting on the pole of the 1st heat. The 14th fastest qualifier is on the pole of the 2nd heat. The 15th fastest qualifier is on the pole of the 3rd heat. The 16th fastest qualifier is on the pole of the 4th heat. The remainder of the cars are lined up heads up by their qualifying time, starting in the 3rd row of each heat race. The 17th fastest car in qualifying starts 5th in the 1st heat. The 18th fastest qualifier starts 5th in the 2nd heat & so on until the rest of the field is filled. In a 3 heat program, the top 12 qualifiers are inverted for the heat races. In a 2 heat program, the top 8 qualifiers are inverted for the heat races.
2.05: Trophy Dash: The 1st & 2nd place qualifiers go directly to the Dash. 1st & 2nd place from each heat race, in a standard race program, qualify for the dash. If a fast qualifier places 1st or 2nd in a heat race, that opens up a slot for the next qualified driver from the qualifying list(ie: 3rd place qualifier, or etc.). These drivers will be lined up by their time trial time for the dash & then a pill will be drawn, either a 0, 4, 6, or 8 pill for the inversion of the dash starting lineup. The top starting positions in the A Main are then determined by the finishing order of the dash. NOTE: There must be a minimum of 4 cars to run a dash.
​There may not  be a Dash if there are less than 4 cars in a class. This will be at the discretion of the officials.
* If a driver is scheduled to be in the dash and is unable to compete, an alternate driver will not be used in this system.
* If you are scheduled to race in the dash & do not do so, you will be placed in the starting position in the main which your heat finish 
   qualifies you.
* If you miss qualifying and make it into the dash by finishing 1st or 2nd in your heat, you will start in the back of the dash, even if 
   there  is an inversion.
2.06: Main Event: The final race of the event which decides who is the overall winner of the event for your class. The A Main usually 
   ranges from 20 to 30 laps. Number of laps will be announced at the drivers meeting. The A Main is 22 car max for all classes.
2.07: B Main: This is the final chance a driver has to make it into the A Main. Depending on the number of heat races run, the top 4 
​   finishers in the B Main of a 4 heat race program or the top 6 finishers in the B Main of a 3 heat race program will transfer to the A Main.
​   The B Main is usually 8 to 12 laps in length.
