6. An entrant may only compete and earn points in one class per event.

C. EVENT SCORING SYSTEM & CAR CLASSIFICATION:

1. Every car whose driver completes all required corner work duties is eligible to receive scoring points according to the time standing in the driver’s class. A driver is allowed to receive points in only one class and one position per event. Points will be scored as follows:

Position Points per Class:
9 points- First place
6 points- Second place
4 points- Third place
3 points- Fourth place
2 points- Fifth place
1 point – Sixth place and all other participants in class

2. The club will award points during each of the five autocross's with a final championship trophy being awarded at the end of the season. Awards will be presented at the NTS2KOC December Holiday party. Trophies or certificates will be presented to competitors who have attended at least four events in the same class. Only the best four finishes for each driver will count towards the points total. If a driver changes classes during the season, any points accumulated in a given class will remain with that class and cannot be combined with points in any other class. In the event of a position points tie at the end of the year in a particular class, each driver’s best times from all events in which the tying competitors both competed will be added up and the lowest aggregate time will determine the winner of that position.
3. Cars will be divided into several classes to provide reasonable competition. The default classes are S2000, S2000 R, Open, and Open R (with the differentiation being R-compound tire choice). Miata and Miata R may also be offered. Classification of other models will be based on attendance. A quota of at least four of a particular model is required for points to be awarded at an event. In order for a championship to be awarded, at least five of the events need to meet the quota. All models that do not form a class may compete for the championship in the Open classes.

Thanks for posting that up Dave, see you guys out there. Feel free to show up early to help course setup if you can make it, we're very shorthanded this season. Also feel free to bring me a birthday present, my b-day is the day before (25th) :)

I'm in who else is going. S2K always puts on a fun event with lots of runs. We need people to come out and support the S2K autocross if they are going to continune having autocrosses.

Our own jrj512 will be designing the course, but don't let that stop you from coming out. j/k

He's right, there are talks of no more autocrosses next season for this club. The shortened season is more or less to see if we get any interest and at this rate it's not looking good for next year. I realize the Miata participation is usually good and the S2000 folks aren't showing up but we're recruiting some newbies.

If you enjoy these events and aren't a or require chalk lines come on out and show your support!

Y'all have fun, I can't make this one.

[sammm]

[onething]

Me too

[jrj512]

It will make it a lot easier to set the course up if I take my truck to the event, so can I get a co-drive from anyone? I can pay $20 for the tire usage. I will also consider OTM offers.

[sammm]

I will also consider OTM offers.

What class would a Ford Ranger run in?

I would rather you drive my car than have to haul cones in my car. Just don't make my car vibrate.

Thanks! Bring disinfectant.

This is weird, the S2000 drivers outnumber Miata entrants 2:1 usually it's the other way around. Are all of you just planning on signing up last minute? I promise I'll make the drivers meeting short like last time :)
