How the Racing Works
Each race meeting follows the same basic format.
Each meeting includes:
• Practice (depending on track)
• Two heats
• A feature final
Juniors and Seniors race in their own classes at the same meeting.
Gradings and ballast are used to keep the racing close and competitive.
This is real contact racing – not banger racing, but not hot rod racing either.
