OPEN DIVISION FORMAT

​

*Please note this is NOT the weekly Cycleland Speedway Track Format

 

Qualifying

 

• 4 groups, each ¼ of cars entered. The first 2 groups (A1 and A2) will be designated together as Group A. The second 2 groups (B1 and B2) will be designated together as Group B.

• Each group will qualify in a group car format (4 cars on track at a time) and be ranked in order of qualifying time in their respective group (A1 vs. A2 and B1 vs. B2).

• The fastest timed cars in groups A1 and A2 will be ranked 1 and 2 in Group A, with their times compared against each other to make the rankings. With the same method the second fastest cars in groups A1 and A2 will be ranked 3 and 4 overall in the final qualifying results for Group A, the third fastest cars in group A1 and A2 will be ranked 5 and 6 overall in the qualifying order, and so on. Groups B1 and B2 will use the same process to rank Group B overall. 100 points each to fast time of Group A and B, and minus 1 point for every position thereafter in each group.

 

David Tarter and Tyler Wolf Memorial Fast Four Shootout
