02/21/12 - The 2012 East Coast Supercharging Corvette Challenge, Anger Management Racing Pro 10.50 Index and Pro 11.50 Index class points will be officially kept by Raceway Park and will also appear on this website. You MUST sign up for points if you wish to compete for
points and be eligible for POINTS prizes. The 2012 East Coast Supercharging Corvette Challenge presented by Yank Racing Converters is a part of the Raceway Park Sunoco Saturday Points Series.
The Corvette Challenge Bracket and Index Points will now be calculated the same as all of our other points series. The Corvette Index #1 qualifiers will receive one bonus point.
Here is an explanation of the points series.
2012 SUNOCO SUPER CHALLENGE CHAMPIONSHIP POINTS SERIES
How are points awarded?
By signing up for points by the first points day, before first round, you will receive 1 bonus point
By staging your car in the first round of eliminations, you will receive 1 stage point
For each round you win during eliminations, you will receive 1 point
Ties
Number of Eliminator wins
The rating point system will be in effect. (#)
If a tie still exists, higher position will be determined by whichever racer went further in competition during the prior points day. Then, position will be determined by better 1st round reaction time if there is still a tie
Ties that need to be run off will be done so on the last day of points. If tie is for position only a coin toss will be done
Racers will be responsible to contact the track office no later than September 6, following the last day of points, to state whether or not they will be competing on Raceway Park's 2012 team for the NHRA Division 1 Summit ET Finals on September 20, 21 and 22 at Lebanon Valley Dragway.
How do rating points work?
The rating point system: Each driver will be rated according to his/her position in the standings. The rating system will begin after competition on the fifth points day (#). The rating will be as follows: If a racer is in first place, one rating point will be awarded; second place will receive two rating points, third place will receive three rating points, etc. If two or more racers are tied with the same amount of points for any position, they will each receive the same amount of rating points i.e. tied for fifth each racer gets five rating points. After the sixth points day, the rating numbers will be increased based upon what place the racer is in. This will continue through the end of the points series. On the last points day, if a racer is in seventh place and earns enough points on that day to move him/her into a tie for third place, the racer with the lower rating points will finish the year in third place and the higher rating points racer will be fourth. The only way a runoff will be necessary is if the earned points, number of wins, and rating points are the same. If after the tiebreaker, a result for position has not been determined, a one-run run off will occur.
