  2. There will be a brief break at the conclusion of Class competition. Challenge brackets will be set at this time.
  3. A maximum of the top 16 cars from each Class will be eligible for the Challenge rounds. The number of cars eligible for the Challenge is determined by the number of cars in the Class.

    3. 1-11 cars in Class - 4 car Shootout
    4. If enough drivers drop from the Challenges to drop Class numbers into the lower tier, the number of drivers in the Challenges will be adjusted accordingly.
  4. Grid spots will be assigned at Check-In. Therefore, drivers are to position their cars in grid as assigned. If the car is not in their specified grid position when the first car of the heat is instructed to the start line, they may lose a run/or runs depending on arrival time to grid.
  5. All drivers will be assigned a "home" space number for grid purposes where they may leave any necessary equipment. After each run, all drivers will return to their "home." Do not block the access lanes between spaces. Dual Drivers will have the same grid position.

  7. A minimum of five minutes must have elapsed between runs for any car. This includes reruns or runs for another driver of the same car. A grid marshal will be specifically assigned to handle two-driver cars and will keep a time log to assure compliance with the five-minute minimum between runs. The time shall be measured from the time the car returns to grid until the time it leaves grid for the start line.
  8. Drivers must proceed from the grid to the start line when so directed by a grid official, or that run will be scored as a DSQ if a mechanical is not called before reaching the start beam.
