Rules & Race Format
Carolina Class Racers Association (CCRA) Meeting from Jan. 24th.
**NOTE** These highlights are NOT set in stone. In general, here are some things that were discussed:
CCRA events
We're looking at the possibility of 4 events at Roxboro (Potentially April 11, June 13, Sept 12, Nov. 7), 2 at Piedmont, and 2 at Fayetteville. These races would be 'primary' CCRA races, with entry/payout/rules standard across the board.
Entry Fee: $80. CCRA Points Members will receive a $5 discount.
Purse Goal: Guaranteed $1,000 to win plus an Iron Tree trophy and Event Winner decal. Payout to begin with 3rd round Winners. Our hope is that even in the event of a short field, sponsorship funds make up any shortfall to be able to guarantee $1,000/win. Purse comprised of $75 per paid entry. The other $5 would go toward trophies, points fund, etc. as applicable. (The cost of the trophies to CCRA is about $50/ea.) Payout scale is otherwise the same as the former Roxboro S/SS Series events: i.e.,
Example: 40 car field
WIN: $1,855 (plus Iron Tree trophy, Event Winner decal, $100 Gift Certificate for HPC coatings)
Runner-Up: $795
Semi-Finals: $150
1/4-Finals: $100 (4th round loser)
CCRA Race Format
- PAIRINGS / LADDER
- 1st Round: Random Pairing
- 2nd Round, drivers will be placed on a Sportsman Ladder based on winning 1st Round R/T.
- BYE RUNS
- 1st Round Bye Run determined by Low R/T in the last round of qualifying.
- If you have a bye run, you will not be required to make the run or take the tree, but you must report to the staging lanes.
- NO Heads-Up Runs: Due to us not having funds to pay for a tech person and most tracks not having scales on site, we are going to run the first season without heads-up runs. That's not to say it won't change in the future as our membership grows we can put this up for a vote.
Wild Card Events
The Saturday night S/SS Combo races contested on Saturday nights at Div. 9 Pro-Am events would be eligible for Wild Card points. The entry/payout/rules at those events would remain at the discretion of the host track. They would be used as possible CCRA Points claims only, which will allow more people from a wider geographic area to be able to participate in the CCRA points chase. If buybacks are used at these events, drivers will NOT earn points after a buyback. These dates are Rockingham (Feb 28), Farmington (March 14), Mooresville (March 28), Kinston (May 23), and Jacksonville (June 6). (NOTE: Piedmont's Pro-Am event will not have a S/SS Combo event) These Wild Card events are like "out of division" claims. Drivers may earn CCRA Points at their first 2 Wild Card events.
