This two day event will consist of 3 5-minute qualifiers on Saturday and 5-minute Triple A-Main Events on Sunday. The qual points format will be used with each drivers 2 best rounds out of 4 to decide the overall qualifying order for each class. The top 8 drivers in each class will go straight into the A-Mains, followed by a 1 car lower main bump ups for 8-minutes making a 9 car field.
 
Invitational 2wd Modified Buggy
To help keep the overall cost down for the Invitational 2wd Modified Buggy class, we will be using a spec tire and limiting sets of tires. 
The spec tire will be JConcepts Swagger Fronts and JConcepts Nessi Rears. Each driver in the Invitational class will only be allow 2 sets of race tires for the event. 
The first set must be ran all 4 rounds on day one. Then the 2nd set must be ran in all 4 rounds on day two.
 
The racing format will have all Invitational drivers compete in the Reedy Race style format. 
Five 5-minute rounds of heads up racing will be ran on Saturday and Three 5-minute rounds on Sunday. 
Each driver will be allowed 2 drops, so 6 will count. Tie Breakers will be determined by the number of 1st place finishes, 2nd place finishes, and so on with the 6 counted points. If still a tie, the drivers 2 fastest used times will be added together. Throw outs are just that, thrown out and wont be used in any way. This is the same system used at the Reedy Race. 
All heats for every round will be completely random with up to 8 drivers will be in each heat.
 
If you would like to compete in the Invitational 2wd Modified Buggy Class, please email Joe Pillars directly at 
joepillars@hotmail.com to confirm your spot. We will be limiting our Invitational Class to 24 drivers. 
For those that do not confirm before we reach 24, there will be a waiting list incase anyone drops out at the last minute.
