The PRE-entry deadline for this event is MONDAY (Feb 15th). If you
plan on racing at this event give the promoter a call at 318-773-9159.
Here's the event format:
King
of The Hill 10,000 qualifying format will use a double heat race format
on Friday with qualifying races and last chance races on Saturday. All
cars that make the $10,000 to win A-main feature event on Saturday will
have run a minimum of 3 races (2 heats and a qualifier) to get there or
a maximum of 4 races if they make it through a last chance race. The
main event pays $500 to start. Entry fee is $150 unless you PRE-enter.
Then it's $100.
QUALIFYING FORMAT:
Friday
-- All cars draw for heat race starting positions.
--
Each driver will run 2 heat races. No other Factory Stock races will be
run on Friday night. (No dashes, no qualifiers, no features and no cars
'lock-in' on Friday night)
-- The second round of heats will use
the same draw 'inverted' and will have one less heat race than the
first round. (example: If there are 10 heats in the first round, then
second round will have 9 heat races.) This will avoid having the same
cars race against each other in both of their heat races. With this
format, all cars have an equal shot at maximum passing points
regardless of where they draw. Also, both rounds of heat race line-ups
get posted before the first heat. You will know what heat and where you
start in each heat before the races start. No waiting on Factory Stock
line-ups Friday night.
-- SUPR-style passing point system in use.
(same as USMTS-style & Texas Motor Speedway-style) First place gets
59 finishing points and each position after that decreases by 4 points.
(1st-59 points, 2nd-55 points, 3rd-51 points, 4th-47 points, etc.)
PLUS, an extra 1 and 1/2 points (1.5) are awarded for each position
gained in the heat. (example: starting 4th and finishing 1st gains 3
positions and is 59 + [3 X 1.5] which equals 63.5 points.)
--
Factory Stocks will line-up SINGLE file in the staging lane for this
show. The reason is, you don't get awarded passing points for passing a
car that never took the green flag. The cars will be instructed when to
go double file after they get on the race track. This gives the scorers
a chance to verify the correct starting positions. Race receivers are
required.
-- Points earned from the first heat will be added to
the points earned from the second heat for a total 'score'. Saturday's
qualifying races will line-up 'heads-up' based on that score. Driver
with the most points starts pole of the first race. 2nd most points
starts pole of the 2nd race, etc. Ties are broken by HIGHEST heat race
finishing position. If heat race finishing positions are the same
between two or more tied drivers, then the drivers who drew the lowest
pills get the spots. NO ONE locks into Saturday's A-main on Friday
night.
-- Official points results will be posted when the gates
open on Saturday afternoon!!! Don't storm the tower on Friday because
they will not be available until Saturday afternoon.
-- The
easiest way to have an error is for car numbers to get confused. MAKE
SURE YOUR NUMBER IS CLEARLY VISIBLE ON BOTH DOOR AND ROOF! There will
be a lot of unfamiliar cars at this show so no duplicate numbers in the
field and CLEARLY visible numbers becomes very important!
Saturday:
(No passing points earned in any race on Saturday night.)
--
ALL CARS WILL run a qualifying race first. Number of races and number
of transfer spots from each qualifier depends on car count.
--
Last Chance races. The first non-qualifier from each qualifying race
starts up front in the last chance races. Then, the highest passing
point scores from Friday night who didn't transfer from the qualifying
races line up 'heads-up' behind them. This Last Chance race format
gives a good running car from Friday night another fair chance should
they run into 'fluky' luck (flats, etc.) in the qualifying races.
--
Number of Last Chance races and number of transfers depends on car
count. IF the car count is HIGH, all cars will NOT get to run a last
chance race. Just the first non-qualifier from the earlier races and
the highest Friday point scores only. IF the car count is LOW, then all
cars MAY get to run a last chance race. The full advertised purse will
be paid regardless of car count. If the car count is high and/or raffle
ticket sales are high (the winner's car gets raffled off), more purse
money WILL BE added to the show.
-- Saturday's A-main field is now set!
