Here’s the Points System:
1st in a Monthly Main = 10 points

….with the point awards being one point less for every lower place.
Drivers will be allowed to drop their lowest race finish from their season totals.
We have a timing system. Come with your car ready to accept an IR transmitter. It uses a servo port on your receiver.

Open play – test + tune is the Saturday prior to a monthly series race, or any time the Rec Room is open.
