[Dudders]

It's that time again................ this time Indoors!!!

Finals will be based on the round by round points accrued in the heats. TQ position will start on pole for the Grand Final each night. Points gained in the grand final will be the only points to go towards the Shootout Series Grand Finale.

• Entry is just £10.00
• Trophies will be awarded to the top 3 in each Final per night.
• At the end of the 'Winter Shootout' the top 8 or 10 drivers (depending on track size & who are available on the final night) will be invited back and will go head to head in a season finale for the 'Surrey and Hants Winter Shootout'
• Cash prizes of £100 for 1st, £60 for 2nd and £30 for 3rd. Finals for all lower placed drivers as well.

• Qualifying points for the Grand Finale will be based on final placing points, ie 1st in the A final will get 50 points, first in the B will get 42 etc per meeting.
• Points accrued during the heats are purely for gaining a higher grid position in the evenings final.
• Should any points be equal after all 7 rounds, the grid places will be decided by the racers next highest score.
• The series will be based on fun and in the spirit of "enjoyment of racing".

Sounds good Dudders. The final round 2nd March is a Friday, I assume this is a typo?

[Dudders]

What happened to the trophy's tonight?

[Dudders]

ermm............ That would be me being a total retard and completely forgetting all about the Shootout Series. I did wonder why Pip kept asking about 'pots' tonight

Bugger!. Erm right ... erm..... hum. Let me sleep on it!

Hi all

With regret I am having to announce hopefully just a temporary postponement of the Winter Shootout. The simple basics are that the current level of income doesn't allow for this type of series. To make it viable we need 30 driver minimum to make it work. We have had three meetings with 22, 20 and 24 racers. All winter nights so far have barely broken even

I am hoping attendance will grow over the next few race meetings and hopefully I can revisit this in a few weeks times or we can attract a sponsor for it.

We've a great warm and comfortable facility and last nights track was ace!.

Fair enough mate, but are these current results going towards any winter series champs for members...? like some of the summer ones did?

[Dudders]

Of course, normal club champ rules apply to members...

[Dr_UpGrade]

what are those?
(other than thou shalt not walk out in front of other members cars and break them?!!)

Average score of points over best 10 meetings. I'll post something up
