It is only called a qualifying lap this time because each vehicle is qualifying for a Trophy(at the end of the race)
In the future this one lap could be used for starting positions etc.
After all qualifying laps are completed
Main event Racing will start for the 1st vehicle, this will allow time for repair and tuning
Each vehicle will complete three laps, times will be recorded using two stop watches
The vehicle with the fastest time will be the overall winner.
1st place will receive a trophy and $75
2nd place will receive a trophy and $50
3rd place will receive $25
!!also the fastest 4,6,8cyl vehicles will get $25
So if you win the race prize $ will be $100 total.The remaining fastest two vehicles in the remaining (two engine size)classes will get $25
this means even if you finish 15 overall,but you had the fastest 6cyl,you still get your entry fee paid.
**At this time these are the prizes, we are trying to get Sponsorship to try and make these better, prizes will go up if we get enough racers.***
