Point System

Per Event:

· To Show Up 25 points (Must sign in and attempt one qualifying pass)

· To Qualify 50 points (i.e. run 11.99 or faster)

· Round Loss 40 points (car must run down full 1/4 mile under its own power)

· Round Win 50 points

· Final Round winner 15 points (In addition to the 50 points for Round Win)

· Top MPH 10 points

· Low E.T. 10 points

Season conclusion Bonus points:

· Top MPH 15 points

· Low E.T. 15 points

The winner is the person who accumulates the most points from three of the events. Points are awarded to the driver, not the car. Accordingly, racers do not have to race the same car at each event, but it does have to be the same driver.

In the event of a tie at the end of the season, then we look to qualifying ladder points #1 earns 16 points, #2 earns 15 points and so on. Tie breaker "Ladder" points will be a summation of points earned at the three TSM events that are being counted for points by each racer.

Payouts

Per Event:

Racers are competing for cash and prizes. Cash is generally put up by (A) the event organizers and (B) the TSM points series sponsors plus a portion of the racer registration fees. Cash from (A) is available to anyone that competes regardless of their participation in the points series. Cash from (B) is only available to TSM registered racers. Only the winner and runner up receive prizes from (A) whereas the (B) payouts go to the 2 TSM registered racers that place the highest at each event. Sponsors may also offer contingency prizes. See the Sponsors link.

Year End:

1st place - 50%,

2nd place - 35%,

3rd place - 15%.

Funds accumulated from registration fees, major sponsors, and merchandise sales.

Points at each event will be recorded by one of the directors or their designees. Protests should be brought to the attention of the TSM directors, Lonnie Diers and/or Scott Simpson.
