Stock Motor Championship Series

Last Saturday of every month during the season
-
The race consists of a 3, 4 and 5 minute qualifying heats. The drivers will pick cards before each qualifying round to determine in what heat they will be running.

After completion of the qualifying rounds, we will add the totals for each driver to determine the main they will be placed in.
-
The main will be 6 minutes
-
The winner of each main will receive a 8x10 plaque for their accomplishment.
1
Qualifying
TBD
2
Heat
We run a 3-minute Heat based on laps with the best overall time as a tie breaker to determine your overall placement in the final race (known as Main). Depending on finish time in the assigned Heat, racers may move up or down in the Main. For instance, if Driver 1 was in Heat C and completed 15 laps, whereas another racer in Heat A or B had 14 laps, Driver 1 would move up to either Main A or B depending on how the other drivers finished.
3
Main
We run a 4 minute Main to finish up each class. Drivers who enter the A-main will use store batteries. Before each race, the drivers must insert the batteries at the counter and go straight to the track with no pit stops. When the race is completed, drivers must go directly to the counter.
4
Awards
We utilize a sticker/token awards system to recognize top drivers. In the A-main, the top three drivers earn tokens, with different tokens for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. Once you earn 15 tokens, you will receive a trophy, your name will be placed on a plaque, and you will be inducted into the R/C Hobby Nook Hall of Fame located in the Pit area.
The top three drivers in the other mains will earn stickers.
