Question: I race in a series with 15 people in my class, how can I compete against someone who is in a series class with 5 or 6?

Question: If I race at another series race do I get any credit?

Answer: You are counted towards bonus points for the racers in the series your are a visitor at but at the current time you cannot earn points in your home series. This is one of the tweaks we are trying to determine a way to work into the system.
