No shows lose 2 spots per race and must race and earn your way back to your previous spot.
No spot blocking.
Each win will earn 5 points for the driver whether it’s a call out or defending your spot.
Initial positioning will be determined by each driver drawing a number, the number they pick will be their initial starting spot on the list. Should there be more than 10 numbers to be picked all numbers from 11 on will be paired up in a bracket to race off. The winner of the bracket earns the right to call out the number 10 spot.
All cars must make an apperance once a month on a Saturday evening between 830 and 11 and complete 1 lap around the Williamsport circuit to show support.

brian:

like the idea. wish they'd do something like that over here but too big of track & no small tracks close. only issue i see will be tough for sho with small turbos going up against prochargers or nitrous. but the advantage is no drag slicks. that will help your sho a lot. getting a good launch with the extra power will be not easy & if they have a manual even more help to your sho. with those new auto trannys like a tuned a6 in sho or the a8 in the chally a manual just can't in my mind beat. my friends m6 is no match for my a8, as much as a manual is part of drag racing, new autos are just to good.
