Future races will be at the tracks that send the most entries to the first scheduled races. In the event of a tie the first tie-breaker is the number of total entries they have contributed through the first scheduled races, the second tire-breaker is the total number of entries at the race they hosted, the third tie-breaker is the number of years the track has participated in the Series. If still tied, the non-affected track owners will vote.

Series Guidelines – 2012
Each Track Owner that is participating in the series has a voice in creating the Rules and Procedures for My Series. The Track Owners recognize that input from the racers through the Competition Committee is crucial for the long-term success of My Series. If you have a suggestion, please tell your Track Owner and Competition Committee representative.
Race Format and Home Raceway
A racer’s Home Raceway is the one that the racer lists at the first race they attend. In the event that a raceway closes, the racer will be allowed to select a new raceway at their first race after the closing. Raceways that are both sold and move to a new location will be considered a new raceway for future schedules.
All decisions and rulings of the tech director will be final.
A new format was introduced in 2011. There may be changes made on-the- fly as we see what works and what does not work.
All racers will qualify by laps and sections and be placed in a Main. There will never be more than 12 racers in any qualifing race. If there are 12 or fewer racers there will be no qualifing and a sit out format will be used for a single Main. If there are 13 or more racers, multiple Mains will be used.
Top 6 qualifiers will be placed in the A Main.
The remaining qualifiers will be placed in B, C and D Mains.
The Winner of the D Main will move up to the C Main.
The Winner of the C Main will move up to the B Main.
The Winner and the Runner-Up of the B Main will movwe to A Main.
Example:
18 entries would have 2 Mains (12 racers in the B with Top 2 going to the A)
19-29 etries would have 3 Mains (6 in the A, the rest split between the B & C)
30+ entries would have 4 Mains (6 in A, 7 in B, the rest split between the C & D.
Race format will be 2 minutes on, 2 minutes off for all mains.
Entry Fees & Payout
The entry fee for each race is $10. The entry fee is split as follows: $4 goes to the host raceway, $4 goes toward the prize payout for that class, and $2 goes to My Series to cover administrative costs, plaques, web site, etc..
In the Amateur Division each entry will receive Track Bucks or Merchandise via a “blind draw.” In the Experienced Division the payout will be in the form of Track Bucks for the Top 5 positions in the Main based upon the total number of entries in that Class. First Place receives 40%, Second Place receives 30%, Third Place receives 15%, Fourth Place receives 9% and Fifth Place receives 6%.
Points
| 1st Place - 16 points | 9th Place - 8 points |
| 2nd Place - 15 points | 10th Place - 7 points |
| 3rd Place - 14 points | 11th Place - 6 points |
| 4th Place - 13 points | 12th Place - 5 points |
| 5th Place - 12 points | 13th Place - 4 points |
| 6th Place - 11 points | 14th Place - 3 points |
| 7th Place - 10 points | 15th Place - 2 points |
| 8th Place - 9 points | 16th Place - 1 point |
All racers’ who enter a race will be awarded five (5) participation points.
The total of all races will be tallied at the end of the racing season. A racer may drop one race. A disqualification (DQ) receives zero points and cannot be dropped.
If there is a tie, the following will determine the winner.
1) Most races attended
2) Most 1st Place finishes.
3) Most top 3 finishes.
4) Finish in the final race.
