3 rounds of qualifying, using the standard QUAL POINT format (no rocket rounds)

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Now for the second event...

INVITE CLASS ($22,000 Prize Purse)

INVITE BUGGY (30 Racers)
INVITE TRUGGY (30 Racers)

The format for the Invite class is similar to what is used in US Supercross Races.

Two timed practices on Thursday will seed drivers 1-30. The timed practices will be 10 minutes. The first 5 minutes is pure practice. At the 5 minute mark the drivers will be brought into the pit for fuel. After fueling, they will return to the track on the clock. Just like IFMAR, fastest lap will be used for seeding.

FRIDAY: TRUGGY
SATURDAY: BUGGY

HEAT 1 (Odd # Drivers) 12 minute race, top 4 advance straight to MAIN EVENT
HEAT 2 (Even # Drivers) 12 minute race, top 4 advance straight to MAIN EVENT

SEMI 1 (11 remaining drivers from Heat 1) 12 minutes, Top 3 Advance.
SEMI 2 (11 remaining drivers from Heat 2) 12 minutes, Top 3 Advance.

LCQ (16 remaining drivers) 12 minutes, Top 2 take the final Main positions!!!!!

Starting grid in the Invite class will be staggered down and quiet, meaning all the racers will be starting VERY CLOSE TOGETHER. Should be fun...

EXAMPLE STARTING GRIDS:

Expert/Intermediate:

1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10 etc. (Normal Down and Quiet)

Invite:

1..3..5..7..9
2..4..6..8..10 Etc...


There will also be a Cash Dash type race at the end of the day Friday and Saturday for the top 4 of each heat race (8 total). This will be an event of it's own

Personally, as excited as I am to race this event, I'm twice as excited just to watch the Invite class over the 3 days.

Count me in

Do you have a listing of the 25,000 cash payout?

The money breakdowns won't be posted until closer to the event.

I will say that the first place prizes are:

$500 per class in Expert

$5000 per class in Pro Invite

so if you don't recieve a invite for the pro calss does that mean the rest of the pro's will be in the expert class ?????

Do you have the invite list done yet Trevor?

Should be really fun!

I just have to get the time off work. Better start working on that one now.

Tammy

Dude I am there... sounds like its going to be one hell of a party that weekend.. I might have to break out the tent again.. Cody need a room

I guess that depends on what you consider a pro? 30 of the worlds fastest will be in the Invite class, so essentially the guys you would normally see in the A, B, and possibly C mains won't be in the expert class.

HEY shocker are you guys gonna set up something on the main page to register online like they did for the manufactures cup ? to give us a idea how full the event is getting or can we register with a portion of the entry paid or do we need to pay in full right away ??

When is registration for the race open?

Post some track pics. Can't wait!!

Entry forms will be in RC Car and Xtreme magazines. As soon as the first form officially hits mailboxes (which should be about a month from now), entries will be open. I will keep everyone updated here when we get closer to that date so nobody misses it. As for online registration, we are looking into it. Again, I promise to keep everyone posted here on RC Tech.

As for track photos, the layout won't be in until about a week before the event but for anyone not familiar with The Nitro Pit, here's a few photos.

God i love the Pit!!

I'm looking forward to this race for sure. Won't miss this one. The Nitro Pit is by far the best racing facility I have raced at. I will also look into making it out there before then, so let me know Trevor when there is good race before then to show to. Save me a pit spot.

Hey Don, glad to hear your coming to the race! I'll be real surprised if I don't see you in the expert A-main.

The track will be blue groove (DRY) for the Nitrocross, so your best bet as a warm up race will be our RC Pro West race on Oct. 6-7. This will be the only other event to be run on blue groove this year. I imagine this will end up being the Nitrocross warm-up race for most people.
