2022 "Show Me State" Series Rules
The following rules are referring to race procedures and formats.
-Turn marshals will not work on or repair cars during a race. Minor issues like popping on a ball cup for a steering link or pulling out a body are okay.
-If a pit lane is available cars must enter and exit the racing surface via the pit lane at all times.
-Any cars damaged and placed in the infield will remain there and the driver will remain on the driver’s stand until that race is over.
-All drivers must turn marshal the race immediately following their race.
-All cars will be made available for tech inspection before and after race if required by the race director.
-Once a car has gone through pre-race tech it must go directly to track and not back to the pit area.
-All racers must have a transponder in their car. Show Me State series will utilize MyLaps timing system (both 2 and 3 wire work) except for races at Triple H RC Raceway. Triple H RC Raceway uses the Trackmate transponder. Transponders will be available for rent or can be purchased at Triple H RC Raceway the day of the event.
-Season points will be based on a 2-point tier system. (1st – 100; 2nd – 98; 3rd – 96……) with one (1) drop of the individual’s lowest result at the end of the season. If five races or less are run due to weather, there will be no drop. Bonus points will be awarded to individuals based on the following:
Winners of lower mains will receive bonus points as follows:
B Main Winner: 2 points B Main Runner Up: 1 point
C Main Winner: 2 points C Main Runner Up: 1 point
D Main Winner: 2 points D Main Runner Up: 1 point
-Individuals who attend a SMS race will receive a bonus (1) point for each event.
-All qualifiers/Mains will be heads up racing. Seating round, 2 rounds of heads-up heat races and then mains.
-Seeding round will be 90 seconds. Seeding rounds will have a max of 4 cars per heat. Seeding round will be used as the tie breaker for points.
-25 laps for heats. Heat races will have min of 5 cars per round. 2nd round will be re-sorted based on points then tie breaker from seeding then inverted.
-Mains will be 45 laps. Mains will be determined by points with seeding round as the tie breaker. Mains will have 8 cars with lower main bump-up of 2 cars. Lower mains will be 30 laps each.
The SMS Director will have ultimate authority over rules enforcement. The primary basis for any rule’s decision must be based on what will be best for the majority of racers.
