HOW POINTS ARE CALCULATED


Every racer, that is in the points competition, receives 10 points for showing up to the race with a race car.

The qualifying points start at 37 for the # 1 qualifier,
36 for the # 2 qualifier, 35 for the # 3 qualifier,
34 for the # 4 qualifier, 33 for the # 5 qualifier, 
27 for the # 6 qualifier, and then 1 less for each qualifier thereafter.....


The round points are figured by
giving the winner of a round 20 points.

WCPGA RACE SEASON MEETING RESULTS



Bump Boxes are illegal in WCPGA. Bump Boxes are legal in NHRA Pro Mod for use by Turbo Cars to allow them to stage while spooling the turbos. One advantage of Bump Boxes is they allow precision staging exactly the same way pass after pass.

If you have an issue at a track, do not go to the tower or take your issue directly to track officials. You should always contact your Class Representative who will represent you. This is also a request from the track officials.

Some of our burnouts, pass the starting line, are of excessive length which are taking up too much time. It is requested that we reduce the length of these burnouts to a much shorter distance.

All on-track tuning of fuel, throttle, clutch, transmission, and ignition systems must be a direct function of the driver.

Ladder Formation and Procedures:
All ladders will be set after the last qualifying pass. After the ladder is set, no changes will be made except alternate insertion for no-show cars of the first round.

Prize money will be awarded to original winning driver; alternate can win money after reinsertion round. All ladders will be constructed on a professional format, with number one running number thirty two, number two running number thirty one, etc.
