SPRINT CAR CHAMPIONSHIP

17 February 2007

Western Springs Speedway

Entries:       Entries close 2.00pm on Monday 5th February 2007.  To enter, the entry must be returned to Springs Promotions Ltd by mail or fax prior to closing time for entries.  Late entries accepted at Promoter’s discretion.

Format:       Qualifying

                  Qualifying will consist of time trials that will determine the heat race grids.  All cars draw to establish qualifying order.  Qualifying consists of two laps back to back the fastest of which is counted.  At the conclusion of qualifying cars will be placed in order fastest to slowest.  In regard to duplicate times, the first to achieve that time gets the position and so on.

                  Heat Races (10 laps) 30 cars or more

                  Cars will be placed by qualifying position with six cars inverted as follows:

                  Cars finishing in the top 4 transfer to the New Zealand Championship.

                  Dashes (6 laps)

                  The 16 cars that have transferred to the New Zealand Championship will be ranked fastest to slowest by qualifying time.  The top 16 will then be split into two dashes (odd to the first dash even to the second) with either zero, four, or six cars inverted (inversion is determined by marble draw at the conclusion of qualifying).  The first dash determines inside starting positions of the first eight rows of the New Zealand Championship.  The second dash determines the outside of the first eight rows.

                  B-Main (12 laps)

                  The remainder of the cars not qualified for the New Zealand Championship will line up by qualifying time.  The top four finishers transfer to the New Zealand Championship.  They will retain qualifying time but the best they can start is 17th (behind Dash cars).

                  New Zealand Championship (30 laps)

                  The first 16 starting positions are determined by the dash finish order.  The 4 cars transferring from the B-Main "heads up" by qualifying time.

                  The winner of the New Zealand Championship becomes the Champion, with the rest of the placings awarded in finishing order.
