Bracket Points Series Rules

Added - You may join the points series at any time during the year, however we will only go back one week for back points from previously entered races. If you're going to run the points series, it's in your best interest to join up at your first race and no later than one week after your first race to get the maximum number of points possible. You can join the Points Series when buying your tech card.

General Rules

Old Rule - Staging: Once a racer has staged, the opposing racer shall have 20 seconds to stage. Should the starter deem it necessary to count this down, he shall make this count obvious with "one second arm counts". If the racer fails to stage after the given time, he/she shall receive a "red light" and forfeit the race. You MUST stage moving forward! Staging via reverse shall constitute a forfeit. If both drivers of a race leave the lines before the start system is activated, both are disqualified.

New Rule - Shootout and Index Class Staging: During Shootout and Index Races, once a racer has staged, the opposing racer shall have 20 seconds to stage. Should the starter deem it necessary to count this down, he shall make this count obvious with "one second arm counts". If the racer fails to stage after the given time, he/she shall receive a "red light" and forfeit the race. You MUST stage moving forward! Staging via reverse shall constitute a forfeit.
