Launceston Kart Club

Details of the 2010 Tasmanian Statewide Series have been released, with the first round being held on 22 February 2010 at STKC.

CLASSES:

Total of 15 classes (15 red plates for winners of TASMANIAN CLOSED CHAMPIONSHIP)

COMBINED CLASSES to have separate finals if minimum entry of 6 per class received at close of entries, and time permits. Classes will be separated all day only if track capacity is exceeded.

RACING at each round to be 3 heats and a final.

CLUB TITLE TROPHIES at each round. 4 entries 1st only, 5 entries 1st & 2nd, 6 or more entries 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
Entries are those received by close of entries date. Late entries are rear of grid.

ENTRANTS must compete in a MINIMUM OF 3 OUT OF 4 ROUNDS to be eligible for series. Entry does not constitute competing. Entrants must race on the day to be counted.

IN ANY ONE ROUND ENTRANTS CAN ONLY ENTER ONE WEIGHT DIVISION OF A COMBINED CLASS.

AN AGGREGATE OF ALL ENTRIES per class will be tallied at the end of the Series and trophies awarded as below:
•    24 and above entries: 1st, 2nd, 3rd
•    21 to 23 entries: 1st, 2nd
•    6 to 20 entries: 1st

ONE ENTRY DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A RACE and therefore does not count towards Series points but, as long as you are able to race on the day in a combined class, does qualify you for minimum entry qualification. (i.e. counts towards your 3 out of 4 to be eligible)

EXAMPLE 1:

6 Clubman Heavy’s and 1 Clubman Super Heavy enter and compete, the Clubman Super Heavy can race, as 1 of his 3 out of 4 rounds, but no points would be allocated towards the Series.  

EXAMPLE 2:

3 Clubman Light’s, 6 x Clubman Heavy’s, 2 Clubman Super Heavy’s enter. Class combined all day and all drivers competing for series points in respective classes.

EXAMPLE 3:

If Cadets, Rookies or Junior Clubman are cancelled (less than 4 entries) then no points are allocated and the round does not count towards the 3 out of 4.
