The IITI Scoring System by AMB allows us to do things that we could not do in the past and we feel like there are things that we can do with the system to help our program and help the race teams at the same time.
Qualifying: We will send 4 to 6 cars (depending on the size of the track) at a time to the racetrack, according to their drawing position. We will spread the cars apart and time trial them. It is called “Group Time Trials”
There will be a printed list of Group Time trial sessions. The first car listed in each session will be considered the lead car for that session. That means that driver will receive the green flag for that time trial session. This will be done so everyone knows who is going to get the green flag first in each session, so you need to know who that car is in your session. For the best results all drivers should stay in order they are listed in their group.
Any driver that isn’t on the track before we drop the green flag to start timing his group of cars will be lined up in their heat races behind those that time trialed.
Any car whose transponder is not working will be timed with a stop watch.
After we’re done we will then line the heat races up by each drivers time trial position with an invertion in each heat race. Fast Time will start in one heat race, second Fast Time will start in another heat race, etc.
The time trials will just give each driver a starting spot in the qualifying heat races.
We will then go back to passing points and the heat races will award passing points which will determine the line ups of the Iowa Illinois Taylor Insulation Pole dash, B-Mains, and A-Feature with the exception of the cars that qualify from the B-Main/s and they will still line up according to their finish.
We have changed the passing points system. The new passing points system will be used only when we do group qualifying. There will be a 3.5 points difference in finishing positions instead of 4. There will be 2.25 points awarded for each car passed. New passing points charts are available at the tech trailer.
There will be races that we do the draw and line up according to your draw. When we use this system the old passing point system will be used. It has a 4 point spread between positions and 1.76 points for each car that is passed.
If there are unforeseen problems with the system we will make adjustments as needed.
