For the 1/10th side
Friday Practice and 1 qualifier
Saturday Round 2 and 3 of qualification and B mains and First round of Triple A
Sunday. Lower mains and rounds A2 and A3 of Triple Finals.

Here is how the mains will work.

We will qualify the top 9 racers into the A finals. All classes will run Triple A mains. We will run the B mains on Saturday night. The Winner of the B main will bump up to the A final.

On Sunday. We will run the lower finals and we will have bump ups in the lower finals. 1st and 2nd will bump from each lower finals to make 10 car finals. Bump up drivers will be able to bump up as far as the C final.
Winners of the lower finals will get the awards for winning that final. Awards go to 1st place of the lower finals only. The award does not trickle down to 3rd place when 1st & 2nd bump.

Now to answer a few questions I have read.
This program is not designed to benefit the "PRO" it is designed to give everyone involved the best experience we can. This goes from Pro's to Joe's to Spectators. Since I have taken over MR everyone has always asked for Triple A mains. We have not been able to do it until now, That is why we are trying a new format to have a better time schedule to allow us to try this. Again, we are running Triple A for all classes. This includes Stock buggy, Stock SC and all classes. Not just Mod 2wd so this is designed from everyone not just Pro's.

The other reason to try this is to give Spectators some exciting finals to watch on Saturday night. Remember there are different spectators on each day Saturday and Sunday. So now we can offer them some exciting racing on both days.

For the Big Track.

Friday practice and 1 qualifier
Sat Round 2 & 3 of qualifying, B Mains and first rounds of A finals
Sun Lower finals and Round A2 & A3 of finals

We will run 12 car finals. For the A mains, we will take the top 11 Qualifiers to seed the A Final and the winner of the B main will fill the 12th spot.

Lower finals will bump 2 racers up till the C final. That will be as far as you could bump. Winners of the lower finals will get the awards for winning that final. Awards go to 1st place of the lower finals only. The award does not trickle down to 3rd place when 1st & 2nd bump.

We are excited for this new format as it should give everyone a much better experience at MR. Not such long days and nights and more exciting finals.

If you have any other questions at all, please email me at [email protected] and I will be happy to answer them.

Thank you very much,
Scotty

This is my third year there and I am not worried about a trophy but I think the "club racers" should get there moneys worth. We actually pay for our stuff. We support the hobby. Pros are a marketing campaign that runs our prices up

This format and schedule is designed for everyone in all classes. The "club racer" will get as much chance of track time and finals at the "Pro's" will. I cannot see how you think the Club Racer will not get their money worth at the event. It is the same for all. If somebody is a better racer and they make the A main and get to race more than I do because I did not do as well, that is just how it is.

As for Pro's being a marketing campaign, that is your opinion and I disagree. They are there to help racers. I can't tell you how many time in my racing life that I went up to some of the Pros to get advice and they showed me how to build a diff correct or build shocks, took my car and gave it a once over. That was awesome! To get help from the best in the world. That was worth the price of admission to me. Plus to get to watch these guys race is also very entertaining and something most racers and all the spectators will enjoy.

I hope you will have an enjoyable time racing with us at MR.
Thank you,
Scotty
