2007 SMC/JACO Stock Carpet Invitational at THE GATE, April 27th ,28th, 29th
The Gate is proud to announce the first ever Stock Carpet Invitational, presented by SMC/JACO. This race will bring together the season’s best drivers of the stock, 19 turn, and modified classes to compete head to head on the same level. In addition to crowning the Invitational champions, it will expose next years up and coming talent in the stock Touring Car and 1/12th Scale classes.
The format is simple. There will be two groups of drivers. The Invitational Group and the Open Group. The Invitational Group will consist of any driver who had an A-Main appearance in Stock, 19 Turn, or Modified, at one of the six major carpet events of the ‘06-‘07 season (IIC, Halloween Classic, U.S. Indoor Champs, Novak-USTC, Snowbirds. ‘07 ROAR Carpet Nationals). The Open Group will consist of all types of racers, from club racers to those who just missed the big show.
The event will be three days, covering practice, rocket-round qualifying, and the main events (Triple A-mains, Invitational Group). Handout motors will be issued in the Invitational Group, while the Open Group will bring their own ROAR legal stock motor(s). Practice will be run by qualifying heats to ensure an equal amount of track time to all the racers. Practice will be followed by four rounds of IFMAR style qualifying. The race will conclude with the running of the main events.
Attached is a list of drivers who have qualified for the Invitational Group pending the ROAR Nationals results. The entry form is also attached.
Stay tuned for more details and news. As always feel free to ask questions if you have any.
Thanks,
Jim, Chris, Paul
