Overall Points!!!!!

[ekraft84]

Buying a championship/plate like that is sad.

CCS should only take the top 5 rider finishes and count that towards the overall.

People pulling in after one lap.  Riding every possible class.  How hollow is that ..

Im in mid-atlantic region. its just that if you enter a ton of races and you dont do well in any of them and you just show up and do a few laps and pull in. How in the world do you deserve a #1 or a track champion. its simple YOU DONT!

What's with all the hostility Ryan?

First off.. is someone doing this, b/c I don't see how this is possible to do.

Secondly.. club racing is all about the money.. Yuppers, that's right. Whether it's entering a lot of races, having a couple bikes, paying for setup/tuning or just doing trackdays/schools to get fast.. ANY way you cut it.. you gotta have money to play and those that do are usually the top guys/gals.

If you've got money, you can have bike(s) enter a lot of race and just do OK and be champion, or you can have 1 bike, pay someone for setup and tuning, do a lot of trackdays & schools, practice and really learn to go fast and be #1.  

But really... it's all about the Benjamins.

Do you get any special perks for being the #1 champ or track champ? I heard once that all of your races the following season are free...... Is that true?

Yes....

The track champion (both amateur and expert) get their race entries free, at that track only, for the next year.  This championship cannot be won two years in a row.

CCS rulebook 3.4.7.A(1)
I cannot cut and paste from PDF. How do you do that?

[Old808]

Buying CCS #1 plates is old news. Get used to it or race WERA.

Sorry.

Oooops!  If I looked at the post times, I could have realized it.

Eric,

When viewing the PDF files there should be a Text botton on the tool bar.  Hit that and then you should be able to copy and paste.

Thanks Dawn

3.4.7 Scoring Procedures
A. To be classified on the results, after starting from the race grid or pit road, the rider and machine must complete one
lap and cross the finish line either on the track or on pit road.
(1). Any rider deemed to be abusing this procedure will be penalized or disqualified. This is a judgment call by the
Referee or Race Director and is not protestable.

So it would be worth the money to buy a championship if you planned on racing a lot next year also...... This year would be a lot, but next year would be cheap (comparatively).
