Qualifying Rules & Procedures: (please read carefully and print your copy for use at RRS)

TPS Time Trials will start as shown on Race Bulletin #11 "Schedule UPDATE". Be flexible and ready to take your 2 timed laps. Cars must align for Time Trials as listed above. Drivers must have working scanner (154.570 MHz) at all times when on track.

Cars missing this qualifying line order may opt to re-align at rear. They will then receive one timed lap. Track entry is thru gate. After entering track and receiving gate closed signal, car should gain full speed quickly. All cars will receive green flag the second time at S/F line. In the event of transponder failure or negative track conditions, a re-run may be opted by TPS Officials.

 

2nd Lap Rule: Going on track uses 1st Lap. If you don't initiate 2nd lap at speed, go to rear of remaining line for a 2nd lap re-run.

 

Track Exit Rule: Failure to exit track after 1/2 cool off lap (unless otherwise instructed) will result in all qual times disallowed.

 

Cars will exit track, enter pits and park in TPS Scales line. All cars will be weighed. Cars skipping weight inspection loose times. No top-off after time trials. (For all TPS cars - after LC Race - 7 lbs or 1 gallon - After the Feature - 35 lbs or 5 gallons top off). Times are not official until car passes post Qual inspection, ties broken by prior TPS points, then by date of entry. Qualifying Format:

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.

 

If Time Trials are not held or not completed, the Feature Race will grid heads-up by points, then by date of completed/paid entry. Red River Speedway PA announcements regarding TPS performance, while usually correct, are considered unofficial by TPS.

Fastest Qualifying time breaking the TPS @ RRS qualifying record of 15.279 set by #27 Bill LaBarge, 6/14/08 earns 3 bonus points. Fastest Qualifying non-record time will earn 1 bonus point. If a driver has questions, ask them at the Driver's Meeting.

 

Disclaimer: The above Texas Pro Sedans qualifying order list is for the exclusive use of TPS drivers, officials and RRS scoring. This list is composed of drivers who have submitted an entry form and paid an entry fee for the October 18th TPS race at RRS. This list should not be interpreted as a list of TPS drivers who will compete on track or even actually arrive at RRS. TPS is unable to determine the intent of a paid TPS entrant, who may or may not arrive at RRS.
