United States Rotax Kart Challen

The National Points system has been developed over a period of 18 months. The purpose is the rank all registered RMax Challenge drivers in the US. Each driver earns points for the finishes in his local series based on the national points system. The series directors submit race reports and we verify the points assigned and then post them to the standings.

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?

Answer: The point system is weighted towards larger series. The more registered members in a class the higher the multiplier. The more registered members racing the more bonus points each racer gets.

Question: How many racers count towards the points?

Answer: For 2008 we are counting the best 5 races for each competitor. Starting in 2009 we will count the best 6.

Question: My series only has 4 races scheduled this season, is there a way I can get another race counted?

Answer: I suggest you talk to your series officials to see if they can add another race to the season.

Question: Why don't I see my series in any of these reports?
Question: Why am I not listed in the class rankings?

Answer: Your local Regional Director is responsible for sending the reports in, you need to check with your series officials to see why your results have not been reported.

Answer: We rely on the reports submitted from local Regional Directors, please check with him.

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.

Answer: Every 3-4 weeks the points standings are updated. When we have a date scheduled for the next update we will post it on the home page.
