2009 Points System

The series is a best 8 of 13. Each drivers best 8 point totals will be added together to determine season standings. To be eligible for awards a driver must compete in at least 8 races.

For the 2009 season we will follow the WKA national points system

• Drivers must take the green flag in Qualifying, Heat, or the Feature to receive points.
• Qualified drivers that do not start the feature will receive last place points (15 entries 55+15=70pts)
• Drivers that do not finish the feature will receive points based on their last completed lap.
• Drivers will receive 0 points if they are DQ'd, do not cross the scales, fail post tech, etc. If DQ'd for an unsportsmanlike behavior the driver will receive 0 points for that event and not be able to drop that event.
• No pole points will be awarded this season.
• Competitors have 10 days from posting to protest their points standing.
• Combined classes will be grided based on qualifying time irregardless of class, but scored separate, unless otherwise directed by the race director.

Attention Cadet Class

The Cadet class will be split into two run groups and scored as one. Cadet A and B. The top finisher in Cadet B will receive points for one position below the last place finisher of Cadet A. If there are 20 cadet drivers 8 in A and 12 in B the winner of group B will receive 9th place points (90+20=110). Drivers in Cadet A will receive points based on total entries in Cadet A and B.

Placement in Cadet A or B will be at the discretion of the race director. The race director will consider past performance, qualifying times, and overall field in determining who and how many drivers will be in each group.

Tire rule:

Due to the change in "C" tires from Bridgestone, BRCKS has amended the tire rule for the balance of the 2009 season starting with Race 8 on July 25th. The changes are as follows: 

The Yamaha Pipe and Shifter classes can run either the YHC or YKC tire with no penalty.

The Cadet, Yamaha Junior Can and TAG classes will have the YKC as the spec tire starting at Race 8 on July 25th. In these three classes an exception has been made to accommodate new racers or racers travelling from other tracks. Anyone using the YHC will be allowed to run and they will be able to hold their qualifying and pre-final results to set their starting positions for the pre-final and final respectively. That racer will be scored no higher than 11th in the final results and all other racers will be moved up in the finishing order accordingly. Drivers must run the same compound for qualifying, pre-final and final.

For all other tires used, the rule as written at the beginning of the year will be upheld - if you are not on YHC or YKC tires your qualifying times will be disqualified and you will start the pre-final from the tail of the field. If you are not on the YHC or YKC in the pre-final you will be disqualified and start the final from the tail of the field. If you are not on YHC or YKC in the final you will be disqualified and scored at the end of the field.
 

Amended 2009 Season Tire Rules;

• The Bridgestone YKC is the spec tire for Cadet, Yamaha Junior Supercan and TAG  classes in 2009. The Bridgestone YHC or YKC is allowed in the Yamaha Pipe and Shifter classes. In order to accumulate points at any race, the kart must be on the proper tires for all qualifying, heat race and feature race sessions.
• The exception to the spec tire rule will be for the 50cc Kid Karts. There will be no tire compound rule only size specs for the Kid Karts. Also, there will be no spec rain tire for any class.
• In order to keep with the spirit of the cost saving intent of using a spec tire, no "sticker" or brand new tires will be allowed for the feature races. Tires must show some previous wear on the grid otherwise a penalty will be assessed for starting the feature on new tires. There is no penalty for starting qualifying or the heat on "stickers."
• Racers not running for points will still be allowed to compete using any tire but their finishing position will be disqualified in the final results. They will maintain their starting positions through heat and feature races but will be DQ'd and not receive points in the official feature results.
• The spec tire rule will be in place for the entire thirteen race season.
• Bridgestone Tires are available through most of the local dealers.  Turn1 ProSports, the Karting ProShop at BeaveRun, will have the spec tire in stock for all races. Suggested Pricing will be $195/Senior $190/Junior $185/Cadet
