2009 Quarrel Individual Event Championship Race Format
November 1st, 2008
To better accommodate the need for more track time here is the new Multi-Championship Race Format for the Individual Championship Series
(This estimate assumes 48 drivers competing on an 8 Lane Track.)
IMPORTANT NOTE: The individual event is open to both car classes legal for the Quarrel (Quarrel and VHORS cars). However the INDIVIDUAL event will be limited to 9 tooth pinion gears!
As of 2009 there are now 3 Championships during the Individual Event.
(1) Major: Overall Quarrel Individual Champion
(2) Minor: Quarrel Semi Championship
(3) Minor: Quarrel Consi Championship
Projected Individual Event Routine:
The day starts off with 1 minute fast lap qualifying heats on the “Jr”
The TOP 4 Qualifiers receive a “Bye” into the Individual Championship
Semi’s
The remaining 44 drivers will compete in the Consi (4) the TOP 3 finishing drivers from EACH Consi will move up into a Semi.
The 32 drivers than do not qualify for the Semi’s will compete in a Last Chance Consi Championship These 32 drivers will compete as groups of 16, running 2 minutes on each of the 8 lanes. The overall TOP 3 drivers between the combined heats of 32 drivers will receive trophies for the Consi Championship. The Last Chance Consi Championship winner will move up to the Individual A-Main and be awarded last lane choice
The semis will consist of the 4 top qualifiers and the 12 move up drivers from the Consi heats.
The winner of each semi moves automatically to the A-Main. The Semi winner with the most laps gets 1st lane choice, the other semi winner gets second lane choice. – The next 4 highest lap totals, from both semi’s combined, will move to the A-Main and get the next 4 lane choices respectively.
The 10 semi drivers that do not qualify for the A-Main will compete in a Last Chance Semi Championship. The TOP 3 drivers overall will receive trophies for the Last Chance Semi Championship. The winner of the Last Chance Semi Championship will move up to the Individual A-Main and be awarded the 7th lane choice.
So now that we are all confused here is what the A-Main will look like; by lane choice.
1st Choice: Winner of a Semi Heat with most laps
2nd Choice: Winner of the other Semi Heat
3rd Choice: Non-winning semi driver with most laps
4th Choice: Non-winning semi driver with 2nd most laps
5th Choice: Non-winning semi driver with 3rd most laps
6th Choice: Non-winning semi driver with 4th most laps
7th Choice: Winner of the Last Chance Semi Championship
8th Choice: Winner of the Last Chance Consi Championship
All races are to be Race to the Line format. Least total time will be the tie-breaker for tied lap counts. All races are to be European Rotation. Individual Tech will be Thursday night – Cars will be impounded until qualifying Friday morning.
There will be a 45 min practice session to prepare drivers and clean the track. This practice will be with non-impounded cars. 2 minutes on, 1 minute driver change. This will give all 48 drivers a minimum of 4 minutes.
Drivers Time on each lane:
Qualifying: 1 min qualifying heat – 30 sec for next driver to hook up
Consi Heats are 3 minute per lane
Semi Heats are 4 minutes per lane
Consi Championship Heats are 2 minutes per lane
Semi Championship Heats are 2 minutes per lane
A-Main is 5 Minutes per lane.
