DRIVER LEVELS
There will be only one driver level in 1/32 Pla-Fit GTP. There will be two driver levels in 4" NASCAR Group 10 and GT-1 Lemans S16D, "Sportsman" and "Expert". The track owners at Fastrax and SCR will determine the driver levels for the series. These determinations will be based on lap counts during the weekly race programs. Racers are encouraged to discuss these driver levels with their track owner.

RACE FORMAT 
If up to twelve (12) racers enter a class, then the race will be run as a round-robin main event. If more than twelve (12) racers enter a class, qualifying heats with randomly chosen racers will be run with eight 2 minute heats. At the end of each qualifying heat, the drivers are instructed to mark the track with their lane stickers to show where they finished. If there are any ties between drivers from different heats, the relative track position is used to determine the finishing order, in the same way as for drivers in the same heat. If you are further around the track than your buddy, then you qualify ahead of him/her. The top eight qualifiers from the qualifying heats go to a main event with eight 3 minute heats.

RACE DAY SCHEDULE

The track opens at 8:00 am. General practice is from 8:00 to 9:45, with normal track time rates according to the host raceway. Sign-ups are taken from 9:30 to 9:45. All of the cars for a class are impounded and tech inspected before the races for that class. Drivers will turn marshal for the race following theirs. This procedure may be altered by the directors to accommodate the schedule. Every driver must turn marshal one race for every race he or she enters. If a driver is unable to marshal his or her designated race, a suitable substitute must be found by the driver. The substitute must be an experienced turn marshal or driver.

HOUSE RULES
The House Rules for each host raceway will be enforced. Abusive or disruptive language or behavior is not allowed including such abuse to turn marshals during the races.
