Club Meet
Our club race days are the 'bread and butter' events for the club where there is a structured race day format (i.e. Qualifying and Finals), but there are no points awarded towards a championship or series event. It's a great day to relax, meet new people, ask questions.......oh and have a race to hone those skills.
The day commences with 2 x Qualifying rounds for each class (e.g. Novice, 2WD Stock, 4WD Stock etc). Each round has a staggered start, runs for 5-minutes and you race against yourself. Points are awarded based on your qualifying times. Your best 1 of 2 qualifiers will be used seed the Mains and ultimately your grid start position.
In the finals (i.e. Mains), each class will race 3 times. A final round lasts for 5 minutes and you race against each other from a grid start. Your two best finals will count (points awarded) to determine your result for the day, with your third round (worst result) dropped. Generally a Main will have 10-12 vehicles so depending on entries in the class, there may be groups within each class (e.g. 2WD Stock A-Main, 2WD Stock B-Main, 2WD Stock C-Main).
Guyatt Points Series
The Guyatt Series will be held for the first time in 2023 and honours the Guyatt family that have contributed so much to our club over many years.
The points series will be run over 3 rounds of racing commencing 26th March 2023, with points awarded in each round depending on your race result.
Classes being run will be Junior, 2WD and 4WD Stock and Mod as well as Truck.
There will be 2 x 5 minute qualifying rounds with your best 1 round counted based on Top 3 Consecutive laps.
There will be 3 x 5 minute Mains (time permitting) with best 2 rounds counting. If only 2 mains run due to time/weather, then best 1 round to count.
Points are awarded for overall result in Qualifying and Mains (not per heat) and are cumulative across all 3 rounds in the series. Points are as follows:
Qualifying
-
1st place (TQ) gets 20 points, 2nd gets 19 points and so on through to position 20 with 1 point.
-
Every position after 20 gets 1 point.

There will be a unique 'twist' in each round (chosen by the Guyatt's) to make racing a little more interesting and this will be announced in the drivers brief at the beginning of each series round.
