2006 RACE OF CHAMPIONS ASPHALT TOURING GENERAL INFORMATION

 

POINT DISTRIBUTION: Points will be awarded at each event in both regions as listed below.  Drivers will earn 5 additional points for each heat win.  These bonus points will be carried over to the tally entering the final combination events.  Heat win points will also count toward the regional title.  A 25 point bonus will be awarded to any team that competes in all of the events leading up to the final combination events. This 25 point bonus will only be added to the combination points and will not be added to the regional distribution. Heat wins will be added to final regional point total. Each regional point fund will be determined by points earned prior to the final combination events.  DNQ’s (did not qualify) will earn regional points at each event as broken down below.  Regional points will be final prior to the start of the season ending combination races.

PARTICIPATING SPEEDWAY BONUS PROGRAM: Teams will earn 50 bonus points toward the overall title by running in a total of three (3) non – R.o.C events at participating tour facilities.  These points will not apply to the regional point totals.  A separate form will be available to mark down the three race events you participated in.  Race dates after September 3rd are not eligible for the bonus so that points can be in place prior to combination races.  Teams can credit three (3) events at either Lancaster Raceway Park or Mahoning Valley; two (2) events at Wyoming County International or one (1) event at either the Chemung Speedrome, Wall Township Speedway or Thompson Speedway in their Sportsman or B-Mod type division.

POINT FUND: Three separate point funds will be established for the 2006 Roc Asphalt Modified Tour.  A separate point fund will be established for both the central and north regions along with an overall combination point fund.  Each regional point fund will be paid separate from the overall combination point fund.  A driver can earn points and point fund money in both regions.  Point fund will be paid out at Annual Awards Banquet, those drivers not in attendance will receive their point fund money at the first event of the following race season.

MEMBERSHIP:  All drivers participating in a Race of Champions Asphalt Modified Tour event must have a paid membership on file.  Crew participants may purchase a membership as well for discounted pit admission at regional events.  All participating crew members must have a membership to enter the pit area at Wall Township Speedway.

PROVISIONAL STARTING POSITIONS:  Each driver in the top 10 in regional points prior to event will be awarded 1 provisional start during the season.  Driver must attempt to run heat and b-main to obtain spot.  Drivers may not use top ten standing in north region to obtain provisional in central region and vice versa.  No provisional spots are available at the first event of each new season in each region.  However, a racetrack operator may choose to add “track” provisionals after b-main has been run.  Top five in points are not locked into a guaranteed spot. 

DRIVER BUY IN PROGRAM: If a driver has used his/her 1 provisional starting spot they will have two “buy in” opportunities during the season schedule.  At each race the top 10 drivers in that region points will have 2 opportunities to be added to the field.  That driver must pay last place starting money to ensure that position after qualifying.  Only two “buy in” drivers will be permitted at each event and will be based on placement in points from 1st to 10th place.  The top 10 in overall points will also have that opportunity at combination events.  2005 top ten drivers may use this opportunity at first race of 2006.

56TH ANNUAL SUNOCO R.O.C GUARANTEED STARTING SPOTS:  Only the top five drivers from each region will earn guaranteed starting spots for the 56th annual Sunoco Race of Champions.  All R.o.C qualifier winners will be awarded a lottery drawing opportunity for the final two starting spots in the 200 lap event should they fail to qualify.  Should a driver be in the top five in both regions, their guaranteed spot would transfer in the region where they obtained the fewest points.  Defending tour champion and past 200 winners will also be in the lottery.
