**UPDATE 10/15!!** **Schedule, Qualifying & Race Format** OK, so we have 50 laps total, and 12 karters. Here’s how we will run it. I. 10 Lap Practice Session II. 10 Lap Practice Session III. Heat 1 (10 Laps) IV. Heat 2 (10 Laps) V. Gridded Race At first everyone (all karters) will run a 10 lap practice session to get used to the course. After a break, another 10 lap practice session will be held. After this, we will split into two run groups, selected at RANDOM through cards. One run group is “A”, the other is “B”. Each group will have six (6) karters. For simplicity let us assume there are karters A,B,C,D,E,F in run group “A”, and karters “G,H,J,K,L,M” in group “B”. There will be two qualifying heats, Heat 1 and Heat 2. Each karter will be RANDOMLY assigned a starting position (referred to as P1, P2, P3, etc) for Heat 1. The order will then be REVERSED for Heat 2. So, if karter A was P1 in Heat 1, he becomes P6 in Heat 2. Now, the **FINISHING order** for each karter will be noted for Heats 1 & 2. Karters will “earn” points for a finish as below: P1 - 1 point P2 - 2 points P3 - 3 points P4 - 4 points P5 - 5 points P6 - 6 points So if karter A finished P2 in Heat 1 and P4 in Heat 2, karter A is assigned 2 + 4, or six points. AFTER the two heats are completed, the karter’s total number of points is divided by two. **LOWEST THREE SCORES** from each of the Groups “A” and “B” will move to a **“TOP DOG”** group of six (6) karters. The remaining karters will be placed into Group C. Group C will have a gridded race of 10 laps, with grid positions determined by: 1. Point total (low to high) or in case of a tie: 2. Most positions gained in either Heat 1 and/or Heat 2 The “TOP DOG” group will go to the next step, with each of the six karters getting a timed flying lap of the course to qualify on the grid for the FINAL race. **FINAL RACE** will be a 10 lap race, with the winner in the **“TOP DOG”** group being judged the overall winner and taking the **RESPECT**. :rofl I know this is somewhat complicated but see my example below for the Group “A” and "Group “B” breakdown and an example of finishing / starting order for karters A-L in Heats 1 and 2 based on the points system: ![http://i333.photobucket.com/albums/m380/ajg914/asdf.jpg?t=1255635223](http://i333.photobucket.com/albums/m380/ajg914/asdf.jpg?t=1255635223) In the columns at left in the above example: “POS” stands for Position “Start” stands for Karter Position at Start of the Heat “Finish” stands for Karter Position at End of the Heat In this example, karters A,B, and D advance in Group “A” as they have the lowest overall number of points in the group after Heats 1 and 2. Karters J,K, and M advance in Group “B” as they have the lowest points total. Note that karters G,H, and M shared a points total of 4, but M advances because karter M managed to gain the most positions in Heat 1, being gridded at P6 and finishing at P3. Therefore, this system **rewards GAINING positions** from where you were gridded in case of a tie. Best of luck to all!! :thumb ---

So just to confirm, since we have 12 karters its: $85/per + 10 bet + gas/food for the event (for our cars). ---

Yeah, good estimate there. It’s about 155 miles one way from Crossgates, so most cars can do the round trip in less than a tank. ---

Yeah, a tank of gas should be good. My car isn’t the best on gas and on an all-highway trip I can do 350miles or maybe a little more. I won’t be heading back with you guys though, just so you know. I’m going to Rochester saturday night for a birthday party. ---
