7/24 AM UPDATE:

In the event that there are RaceSaver teams that don't qualify for the feature race (24 starters) July 28, they will each receive $100 in non-qualifiers money.

There are several teams that have indicated they are traveling a distance to come to this event, so we are guaranteeing this additional purse in the event there is a B-feature.

Reminder, this is a RaceSaver sanctioned race and it will follow RaceSaver.com rules; so plan to have your engine teched for compliance. SST or STS RR tires are your option.

We would like each driver to state which Series they are representing when they sign in (LBS, STS or SST); as the top finishing driver in each 'series' will receive a $100 cash bonus, as previously advertised.

LoneStar 25 - RaceSaver Sprint heat race qualifying system for the Feature race(s)

150 (points for winning your heat, drops by 3 points/finishing position)
147
144
141
138
135
132
129
126
123...

Plus you will receive 1.5 points per car passed from your starting position.

Darin will be compiling points and posting feature lineups, in case drivers have any questions you know who to direct them to.

Any ties will go to whoever raced in an earlier heat. (in other words if two drivers earn 150 points and one received them in heat race one and the other in heat race three; then the driver in heat race one will win the tie). If two drivers tie in points from the same heat, the tie will go to the driver who started in the closer to the back.

(This is the same points format used for heat races at the LoneStar Sprint Nationals.)

Feature race will be straight up based on compiled heat race points.

Top 16 in points from heats to A feature (assuming 25 cars or more in field there will be a B feature).

B feature(s) straight up by compiled heat race points. 8 cars from the B(s) will advance to the A.

24 cars start A feature, 25 green flag laps.

RaceSaver Sprints are scheduled to run earlier in the event order, tentatively 2nd class out.
