7 races in this season, 1 throwout. So, 6 races will count.

If you attend all 7, your lowest placing position (at whichever race) will be your drop. If you missed the first race, that will most likely be your drop (you would have 0 points for that race).

However, and here's the kicker - you could miss TWO races and still be up for good points if other racers miss two (or more) races. So, just because you missed one doesn't mean you're out of the running.

F2 class maybe if turnout is good? 25.5?

Shoot, that's where the 21.5 vs 25.5 dilemma comes in. If you are in F1 class you have to change back to 25.5 to race at other tracks. What to do Saturday indeed....

Only mentioned 25.5 in case both F1 and F2 drivers were on hand and each group would be able to run their UF1 classes at CAL on club race day (s).

Thanks. Just making sure each race day is one event with three races as opposed to three separate events in one day.

So split the track time between the two classes depending on the number of each drivers that show for each class.

Hopefully both groups come out for some laps before Round 2. I know I should have before Round 1....

That's what I was suggesting, based on turn out, F1 heats and F2 heats for racing.
Shoot, make it a national thing
May help make "F" racing great again
I know for a fact some stopped due to 25.5 being force fed to the class.

Glad to see F1 back in So Cal with a strong showing of 32 cars at the opener. Had fun hanging out with friends and was not even planning to run Sunday until Mr. Jackson twisted my arm. Glad he did. Lots of good battles in all races in F1 and F2. Hector brought his A+ game for sure. Steven was fast and only his hybrid system letting him down in A1 prevented him from being on the F1 podium. Look forward to making a select few more races once I get my eyes done. ;-O
