​
We will go to every effort to complete a scheduled race. However, if a race gets rained out during eliminations, drivers earn points based on the last fully completed round in their category. As an example, if a race is halted at any point after the start, but prior to the completion of round four, all drivers in competition would get points and split payout based on the results from round three. If a race is called after the completion of round one, but prior to the start of round two, payout and points will be split amongst ONLY the first round winners. Anybody who paid a buyback will be refunded in the form of a future credit. Credits for rainouts are as follows: 1) an event called prior to start of time trials will receive 100% credit. 2) an event called after completion of two rounds of time trials but prior to eliminations (or in the case of a test and tune, before the halfway point of the event) will receive 50% credit. 3) an event called after eliminations have started (for test and tune, after the halfway point of the event) will receive no credit. In all cases, the Race Director will make the final decision. All attendees are required to hold onto their credit received at the Main Office to claim credit for a cancelled event. Credits must be used prior to the end of the following race season.
