Race Format

Qualifying:
There will be four qualifying runs for each class.
Each run will last 8 minutes.
For the first run, the starting grid will be staggered in a random order.
For the second run, the starting grid will be reversed.
For the third run, racers will be re-shuffled into heats based results from the previous two qualifier runs.
The starting order for each run will be based on the number of laps run in the time allowed.
Top Qualifier (TQ) will be awarded to the racer with the highest lap count for a single heat.

Mains:
Triple A-Mains will be held for each class.
A Triple A-Main consists of three Mains. Each Main will be 10 minutes in duration.
If a driver wins the first two Mains that driver must sit out the third Main.
Triple A-Main results will be decided by a point system based on 10 points for the winner of each separate Main on down to 1 point for the tenth place finisher in each separate Main.
The best two out of three Mains will count with the first tiebreaker being the finishing position of the third best (remaining) Main.
In the event of a need for a second tiebreaker, the total of laps and times of each driver's best two out of three Mains will be used.

B Mains and below will be held for each class. Race results will be determined by a single race 10 minuets in duration.

TECHNICAL INSPECTIONS-

All racers are encouraged to bring their cars to the officials during open practice so that any corrections can be made before the official inspection.

Before each race
Technical inspections will take place before each race. Inspections will be performed by PN Racing officials. If the PN Racing official determines that the car does not meet the requirements specified in this document the car will be deemed illegal and will not be allowed to race. It will be the responsibility of the driver to ensure that the car meets all requirements and passes inspection before the race begins. In the event that the PN Racing official does not catch a violation, the car will still be considered illegal and the racer will be subject to any consequences of running an illegal car.

After each race
Cars and radios from each race must be put on the post-race tech table for any post-race inspection that is required. Drivers that did not finish their race are still subject to this rule. Inspection of cars will start only after the start of the preceding race (for example, inspection for race 2 will start after race 1 has started and is underway). Cars on the post-race tech table will not be released until the end of the following race (for example, cars that ran in race 2 will be released when race 3 is completed).

Final approval to approve the legality of any car is not valid until after the post-race inspection.
