Heat races and features are lined up according to total
money earned by a driver in the last three races completed.
Lowest money total starts in front, highest money total starts towards
the rear.
POSITION IN POINT STANDINGS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH STARTING POSITIONS!!
For example, if the point leader has three weeks of bad finishes,
he/she could be handicapped to the front of the field.
Drivers that are present but do not qualify or miss the feature
event because of mechanical trouble or an accident will receive
zero dollars toward their total for that race. Drivers who are absent
receive the winner's money points ($1750 for Modified, $600
for Sportsman) toward their handicapping total. These “phantom
money points” help to reward those drivers who consistently
make it to the track, while those who frequently miss events start
towards the rear.
Opening Night: Drivers will draw for starting positions
in the heat races, then will use a “head's up” start
for the feature where the winner of the first heat starts on the
pole, winner of the second heat starts second, etc.
Week #2: Heat races and features will be lined
up according to total money earned from opening night only. Lowest
money earned will start in the front, highest money earned toward
the rear. New drivers start at the rear of the field.
Week #3: Heat races and features will be lined
up according to total money earned from the first two races. Lowest
money earned will start to the front, new drivers start at the rear,
and so on, the basic handicapping formula continues for the remainder
of the season. Heats and features lined up according to total money
earned from the last three races completed.
Assigning cars to heat races: The handicapper has
a sheet listing the drivers' total money earned from the last three
races. As the drivers/cars enter the pits, they check in with the
handicapper at the green building in the pit area. DRIVERS
MUST LET THE HANDICAPPER KNOW THAT THEY ARE THERE!!! The
handicapper then will highlight the car number on the sheet. Depending
on the car count, the number of heats to be run will be determined
and cars will be split up into heat races as they are on the sheet.
The handicapper will attempt to make the heat races even by spreading
out top drivers among the heats. The number of cars to be handicapped
or to qualify will be posted on the pit board with the line ups
for the heats.
After the heats are completed the handicapper once
again uses the total money earned sheet from the past three races,
to determine the line up for the features. Those who finished the
heat in handicapped spots will be put into the line up with the
lowest money earned starting in the front. Drivers that did not
finish their heat in a handicapped spot will fill in at the rear
of the field as consolation cars.
Teams may request a money-point/purse breakdown sheet from the handicapper.
