Default 2012 Etown points update

If all goes well, tonight Edgar will be posting the 2012 Etown points structure (which I can't seem to get copied) and I'm sure most people will be happy with it. We have a "first time" option that should work to the advantage of you racers..hope you like it, remember we are the only series at Etown to have this option. .

Back on Topic!

Raceway Park is going forward with unifying points for all classes of racing.
For Brackets, we have always followed standard points. For Index we have been different and will be adopting the standard points.

However, we will still be different than the non Corvette classes at RP as the three CC classes will be adopting a "drop two races method"

The synopsis
  1. 10 points races (no warmup this year and this is confirmed)
  2. All classes racers will drop your worst two races, including zeros (no shows), or otherwise said best 8 of 10 races will count for points standings and will be adjusted at the end of the season by Raceway Park. Please read the detailed explanation by Raceway Park
  3. Now points awarded for brackets, no change, except we will only send one racer to the bracket finals, not two.
  4. Index classes, our point system is replaced by the bracket style points system, one point to stage, one point for a win. For qualifying, only #1 qualifier will get a point..all other qualifiers, no qualifying points. No bonus for qualifying #1 and winning.


I could not get all the formatting right for the forum so I put it on the corvette challenge website.

Please read and feel free to discuss here.

Also, index racers, please note that you will now get a point for signing up before first round of the first race so get it done if you have not.

Here is where i got confused Biggy:

You started the post with "We are in for a major revamp in our points system for Index classes."

Then you went on the say "points awarded for brackets, no change, except we will only send one racer to the bracket finals, not two."

Hope that helps.

Does this mean no point at all or make sure you sign up before the first day?

Do indexes drop 2 races as well?
