For the new year we will be hosting our Winter Karting Series at Le Mans Karting in Portsmouth, VA!

COST:

$60 if 8 or less drivers show

$50 if 9-15 drivers show

$40 if 16+ drivers show up >>> Based on popularity last year, we suspect this will not be a problem at all

All drivers MUST hold a Le Mans Karting License($25) which is good for a year and includes one free race(that can be used outside of the Winter Karting Series), a free paintball game, and during the month of your birthday you can purchase one race and get (3) races for free. If you do not hold a license prior to the first series event, then you will need to purchase one prior to racing.

Due to popular request and huge participation last year (30-40 people every night!), we will be running two classes based on driver weight. Hellcat(Heavy) and Lotus(Light), depending on whether you are under or over 200lbs with helmet/gear. Those eligible for the Hellcat class may run in Lotus if they wish.

Format:

There are multiple track configurations, a different one will be used for qualifying each night, with the Megatrack being used for each Main race.

Everybody will run TWO (7.5 min) qualifiers, your best time will be used to determine which of the (15 min) Main races you qualify for.

ALL drivers will run together regardless of class. Each driver must add an “H” or “L” to the end of their racer name to identify which class they are running in for points to be calculated.

A Main will be the fastest 10 to 12 drivers

B Main will be the next fastest 10 to 12 drivers

C Main (etc etc)

# Of drivers in each Main race will be based upon how many participants overall are present, so as to not have a 2 or 3 person D Main for instance.

NEW this year also: If you WIN any of the Main races, you may advance to the next level up to get a chance to duke it out for more points! Win the B Main, you get to run in the A Main!

How Season Points are Calculated:

Points will be calculated based on position where you finish in a given Main race. Where points end in the A main, they continue in the B main. First place gets 100, second gets 98, third gets 96, etc etc. If there are 12 drivers in the A main, then for points purposes the B main first place finisher gets counted as thirteenth place for points reasons (76 points). The formula is as follows: Points awarded = 100 – (place finished*2) + 2.

Points are given based on position regardless of class… If you are a Hellcat class driver, and finish second in the A main, you will receive 98 points. If the next fastest Hellcat class driver is in 8th place, they will receive 86 points. Even though it is mixed-class racing, you still acquire more points for being faster than other-class drivers (and thus ensuring you acquire more points overall).

There will be FIVE events total, we will drop TWO of those events with your worst finishes. You can miss two events and still potentially win overall. If you get two first place finishes (100pts each), a fifth place (92pts), a third (96pts), and a second place (98pts), you receive 298pts total.

In the event of a tie for season points at the end of the season, then the lap times on record only from the Main races on Megatrack from the 2019 TSCC Winter Karting Series will be used to determine who finishes ahead of who.

Prizes: At the end of the series, winners in each class will receive Gift Cards for Le Mans Karting. Exact amounts will be posted soon!
