    Default LRP June School and Regional

    We at NER are working on final plans for this weekend.
    Our plan is to run the drivers school and have one practice/qual. session for each race group on Friday.
    We will run two races on Saturday.
    The question is: If the first race is a qualifing race, should grid for the main race(second race) be set by fastest time or finishing position?

    I'm almost thinking fastest time. When we spoke, I wondered how it would all work for students who get signed off and decide tor race. By doing qual for the later race by time, it resolves that issue. The only downside is there's less incentive to do well during the Fri qual. Tough call.

    Though I have benifited by having a faster lap than my finishing position would have implied, a race is a race and qualifying is qualifying...

    ntm if you use fastest time it rewards boneheads like me! :/

    What if NARRC and NERRC points were rewarded for the qualifier?
    Is that an incentive?
    By the way, I'm not looking for more money if you do Friday.
    I want everyone to benifit from the schedule.

    Sat morning race,use best lap time for sat afternoon race. that way the guy who works a real job isnt penalized for not showing up friday. No double points as that hurts the job guy who isnt able get friday off as well.
