SCHEDULE & TICKETS
Judges score runs on a scale from 0 to 100 points, considering factors such as instant smoke, constant smoke, volume of smoke, and driving skill.
-Immediate Smoke (up to 10 points): Start with a smoking entrance! Judges reward seeing smoke right from the beginning. If your vehicle takes too long to start producing smoke, points may be deducted.
– Continuous Smoke (up to 20 points): Keep that smoke show rolling from start to finish without any breaks. Smooth transitions and no hesitations earn you big points here.
– Amount of Smoke (up to 20 points): Size matters! The bigger the smoke cloud, the better. But judges are also considering wind conditions and otheruncontrolled variables, so keep that in mind.
– Use of the Pad (up to 20 points): We encourage drivers to use the entire padduring their run.
– Driving Ability (up to 30 points): This is where your driving chops shine. Judges will assess the flow of your run, car control, precision around the course, speed, and the aggressiveness of your run.
– Inflated tires (Minus 5 points per tire): pop them!!!! If your tires are still puffed up, that’s another deduction.
– Not utilizing the full pad (Minus 1010 points): Make sure to put on a show!
-Crashing into a barrier that affects the run (Minus 1-10 points): Run the walls, get technical, slight chaos is appreciated!
– Spilling fluids other than water (Minus 1-100 points): Excessive fluids spilled on track can result in a DNF.
– Continuing to burnout on popped tires for more than ten seconds intentionally is an IMMEDIATE DNF.
