Two racers with three round wins each – automatic entry into the final regardless of red lights or breakouts. B. More than two races with three wins each –The count back is then based on closest elapsed time to nominated dial-in (no quicker than their dial-in) in any round of racing won. Reaction times play no part in the count back. The two racers who are closest to their respective dial-ins are then eligible for the final. If by chance the count back is a dead heat, it will then be based on the next closest to dial in any round win. With five categories competing, the variety of cars racing was impressive.
