Each driver will be allowed to drop their worst week from their points. This allows an entrant to miss one night of racing without penalty.
The points system will be as follows:

Livery Rules
Numbers will be assigned on a first come first served basis. An unlocked design containing the required number boxes will be distributed to all entrants. You will then have to add your number to the boxes already located on the car. For this season we encourage entrants to choose real companies as sponsors. If you don't have any just ask, we are happy to share anything we have created. If you have questions on what your car should look like, just look up pictures of previous series. If the livery rules are not followed, you will still be allowed to participate.
u/SlowMotionFire will gift spec cars to anyone who asks for one, they will feature the correct upgrades and number boxes. I will also gift this seasons number boxes to all participants.
Schedule
Race nights will last somewhere between one and two hours. Week 1-4 will consist of three races each night, all running roughly 15-20 minutes each. The final week will be a 1+ hour endurance race.
All Race Sessions will begin at 7:00 pm CST on Tuesday nights
The format for each night will contain a qualifying session followed by the race at that track. Qualifying times will be sorted by clean times first then dirty times. The race will start with a parade lap allowing drivers to get into the correct starting sports. The race will have a rolling start 50mph or less, and starts when the leader crosses the start/finish line.
The endurance race will be run on drag slicks and require pit stops. Because this is a points championship during the endurance race if any contestant is disconnected from the race a caution will be called and the contestant will be given time to rejoin the race at the back of the field. The race will then be restarted with the remaining time at which the caution was called.
