Class Nationals event planning

[Michael Beard]

Given the level of interest shown, we're going to bump up the payouts from the original plan.

Sunday Main Event
Stock Eliminator and Super Stock Eliminator (EACH: 2 completely separate eliminators, just like a regular national event. Not a Combo!)
WIN $5,000
R/U $2,000
Semi $800
6th Rnd Loss $500 (if over 128 cars. All Run field)
5th Rnd Loss $400
4th Rnd Loss $300
3rd Rnd Loss $200

As before, $260 Weekend Entry covers Qualifying on Fri & Sat, Class & Quick 32 CIC races, and the Main Event $5K Eliminators on Sunday. Tech, Scales, Fuel Check, and Heads-Up runs in effect.

Saturday Combo details...
S/SS Combo Warmup
WIN $3,000!
R/U $1,000
Semi $500
Rnd Money $50/Rnd (Starting with 3rd Rnd Loss)
Entry $100

Rules for the S/SS Combo Warmup -- knowing that there could be a massive amount of entries in the Combo, I've tried to set rules to move things along as efficiently as possible while maintaining the performance aspect of Class Racing when possible. Since we won't know who all has entered the Combo until potentially the last minute, it makes sense to roll with random pairings for the first two rounds to get us down to a manageable field size where we have time to calculate and set pairings. This will also allow us to separate Stock and Super Stock the first two rounds, which many people prefer. 3rd round, we should be down to around 30-40 cars, at which point we can set a ladder and put heads-up runs back in effect.
1st & 2nd Round: Stock and Super Stock will be called to the lanes separate. Pairings will be Random Draw, with no Heads-Up runs.
3rd Round through Finals: Cars will be put on a Ladder starting 3rd Rnd on based on Rnd 2 E.T. Heads-Up runs WILL be in effect starting 3rd Rnd.
