Format
A typical race week consists of a 30-minute practice session, a qualifying session - during which each driver entered has the opportunity to complete two qualifying laps, and the concluding event of each race week is the approximately 100-mile race.

There is a maximum of 40 entries per race.

Point System
Bonus: +1 for leading (being scored in the lead for at least one lap)

Prize Earnings
Entry fees of $2,500 are pooled and redistributed as prize earnings. Minimum prize earnings are $1,250. In a 40-car field, this pool equates to $100,000 and the prize for 1st-place is $6,000. A 30-entry race’s pool is $75,000 with the winnner earning $5,250. A race with 20 competitors will have a prize earnings pool of $25,000 and the race winner will earn $4,500.
