As an example, the October 18, 2008 Red River Speedway event had the following provision:

"Feature Race grid limit - 22 cars. 1st 12 by qual times, 13th thru 18th - 1st 6 in LC race, 19th thru 22nd to best in 2008 TPS points."

 

Considering the growing list of TPS members, the continued interest of drivers outside our normal region, historically strong support by Red River Speedway and the two day race format for this years Red River Speedway events, I would not at all be surprised to see the need for a last chance race at one or both of the Red River Speedway dates.

David and Mike: The "draft" format for the May 23 & 24 separate races at Red River Speedway is being prepared and will probably specify the following regulations to qualify for each 40 lap feature race:

 

Positions 1 thru 12 by fastest Qualifying Times

 

Positions 13 thru 16 by LC (Last Chance Qual Race) Finish

 

Positions 17 thru 20 by highest standings in 2009 TPS points

 

 

Thank you for asking on the new TPS Forum - Neil Upchurch

 

 

btw: Other elements, such as the best two purses of the early 2009 race season is also being calculated. As soon as sponsor postings are added in, we will publish the purse.
