Oswego, NY – Last season ISMA officials experimented with a change in the point system and found the experiment didn’t really work out. So, for 2009, an addendum sheet was added to the official rulebook. It is hoped this new system will be a little more competitive for all the contestants.
In 2009 participants at an ISMA event will earn points via the heat and feature point system (see below). All participants at an event who attempts to qualify will receive 50 show-up points. To classify as an attempt a car must go out for a minimum of one practice session and make one lap under its own power. If a car has a mechanical failure and/or accident in warm-ups, it is also available for the non-qualifier points. In the event of a rainout all participants in attendance will receive the 50 show-up points.
Heat race points are earned as follows: 1st -10 pts, 2nd – 8 pts, 3rd – 7 pts, 4th – 6 pts, 5th – 5, 6th – 4, 7th – 3, 8th – 2, 9th and 10th-plus 1.
The feature points earned by car owners include the 50 show up points for the qualified cars.

Additional points may be earned by leading a lap (5 pts) and leading the most laps (5 pts). Points for ISMA are kept by statistician Bobby Rodier and are updated after each race event. But, if you’d like to keep the points of your favorite driver (s) for fun, make a copy of this information for further reference. |
