Race Procedure


Qualifying

Each entrant will be given a timed run to record the fastest lap, which will determine the starting position in the heats.
Driver will pick lane choose in order of qualifying when asked by race director.




Format

All entrants will contest a series of consies, heats, quarterfinals, semi-finals and final depending on the number of entries.
All rules designated as consies will be contested over 4 lanes only, running on either the red set (red, green, blue, purple) or the
black set (black, yellow, orange, white). All other races will be contested over 8 lanes.

All races will be on a â??move-upâ? basis. The following schedule has been adopted to ensure that a minimum of four drivers will move up from each race.

1 to 8 entries: Final Only.

9 entries: One heat and Final. (Fastest qualifier into final, top 7 move up).

10 to 16 entries: Two semis and final, Top 4 in each semi move up.

17 to 20 entries: One heat, two semis and final. Fastest 12 qualifiers into semi, Top 4 in heat move up.

21 to 24 entries: Two heats, two semis and final. Fastest 8 qualify into semi, top 4 in each heat move up.

25 to 32 entries: Four quarterfinals, two semis and final, All entrantsâ?? start in quarterfinals, top 4 in each move up.

33 to 36 entries: One consie, four quarterfinals, two semis and final. Fastest 28 qualifiers into quarterfinals, top 4 in consie move up.

37 to 40 entries: Two consies, four quarterfinals, two semis and final, Fastest 24 qualifiers into quarterfinals, top 4 in each consie move up.

40 plus entries: Fastest 19 qualifiers move into quarterfinals. All other drivers will be seeded into a number of consies with the top 4 lap scores in each consie moving up to the next stage in the race schedule.

Lane choice will be determined by the either qualifying position or position from previous heats.




Lap Counter

The Johnson Racing Systems computer system (version 4.0) incorporates the following unique features which drivers must be aware of:

Rider Detection â?? The system will implement an automatic (track call) if it detects a lap time shorter than a pre-programmed time delay and the lap are not counted.

This time delay is usually set to 1-10 second shorter than the fastest qualifier.
Cars, which cross the lap counter on the wrong lane causing such a (track call) will be replaced on the correct lane.
Drivers should also be aware that the system treats each bracket as a continuation of the proceeding bracket.

Therefore if a car is moved forward on the track during a lane change it will trigger a short lap â??track callâ? when it crosses the lap counter.
If this should happen then the offending car will not be credited with the lap and will restart from where it stopped.

This is effectively a one-lap penalty for cheating during lane changes.



Time Factor

At the end of the last bracket for each all cars must continue until they cross the lap counter.
As each car crosses the lap counter the power on their lane is shut off by the computer.
This eliminates the need to take footage and means that all positions on the computer are correct at the end or the racing.
Each car is given a time factor, which is the time from when the bracket expired, to when the car crossed the lap counter (accurate to 1.000th seconds)

Drivers must be aware that the race does not finish until they cross the lap counter or a minimum of 10 seconds expires.




Track Calls

Track Calls will be initiated only in the following circumstances.

Automatic rider track calls.
Cars off on the main straight or in banked corners.
Unmarshallable car. (Unable to marshal the car from marshals position)
Suitable replacement marshals will be asked to stand in for disablied drivers.
A marshal has too many cars off to cope with.
Marshal not in position.
Fault on Track.
