2005 Season Fun-RunFun Run DetailThe fun run on 3/11 will be at CEFX Raceway. Since CEFX had 90 entries at the Saturday 2/25 event. The fun run is a non points race to close out the season. It will run more like a club race than the typical CRL. We will pass out the series awards at this race (or make other arrangements if you cannot attend). We will do prizes in a similar way as the normal race day prizes. You will get one ticket for each entry that you did throughout the year (i.e. Bob Reilly ran all five events and two classes at the first one, so that awards him 6 tickets - plus, if he enters one class at the fun run he will get one more). This rewards those who attended more races and ran more classes with more prize tickets and hopefully a greater chance at prizes. The Fun Run entry fees are the same, $20 for the first class and $10 for the second - each entry that day gets a prize ticket too. Any sponsored drivers out there that can get prize donations for this event, I sure could use some help. It looks like the CRL budget will end up the year at about $1,500. A little more than half will go to season end awards. The rest will go to buy prizes for the fun run day. Fun Run InvitationalWe will hold an invitational for the ten best drivers from 1/12th and touring. This is an invite only class. Ten of the fastest from Touring and ten from 1/12th scale will be invited to race in the invitational. Touring will run muscle car bodies that the CRL will provide. For 1/12th we have 71 Corvettes on the way. Best Paint - Open to anyone who wants to paint one of the invitational bodies. The driver has some say in who paints his car and some will want to paint it themselves. We have two prizes for paint awards. I've ordered two of each of these. Invite racers will have their choice starting from the top in points.
Race format: Both classes will run 19 turn motors and the special bodies. We will run 4 main events for each group (no qualifying needed, just the morning practice with the special bodies). Main #1 starts with the field inverted from their points standing (Mod champ in back, 19 turn champ in 9th, stock champ 8th, etc.). Main #2 starts inverted from the finish of main #1. Then inverted again by the finish of main #2. And once more inverted from #3 for the last main. We will award points for each main, 10, 9, 8, etc. from the winner on down. Add up the total points and drop one (keep best) for a winner. The tie break will be the 4th low score followed by the fastest laps/time from the four events. This will be tons of fun to watch. I would like to get video and photos from everyone who shoots any. Current 1/12th invites listed below. I will need a firm commitment from these drivers by this Saturday, 3/5 that you will be able to attend the 3/11 fun run. On 3/6, we will need to start working down the list of alternates. 1971 Greenwood Corvettes and 19 turn motors Jeff Switzer Current Touring Muscle Car invites listed below.
