Hello Crossflow Cup Racers,
We are about a month away from our Season Opener with HMSA at Laguna. This will be a quick email with just a few things to note.
Here is the entry form:
HMSA Spring Club 2021 - entry deadline is February 19th!
Load-In: Cris has rented the paddock Friday, we can load-in as early as 9am.
Garages: will be available, likely going to be $1000/door for the weekend. Contact HMSA for more information hmsa@hmsausa.com
Tech: For this event, tech will be very casual, as is usual for the season opener. Bring your logbook and Tech Form with you.
Scales: will be located at the SRS compound
Party: Saturday night, also at the SRS compound. As usual, we will have our awards and adult beverages!
Tires: Chatted with Roger Kraus today. There are two container loads of tires floating their way across the Atlantic at the moment. Unfortunately, due to COVID and BREXIT complications, they won't likely be here until late March. This doesn't help those of you hoping to start the year on A29's. The plan for 2021 was always to phase in the A29's though, and that hasn't changed. If you have A25's, you are still free to run them. If you haven't purchased tires for this event yet, Roger has around 20 sets of A25's on the shelf. When Roger has his shipment of A29's in stock, we will touch back on the tire subject.
Volunteer Help:
We are seeking someone who likes numbers. We are without a scorekeeper this year. The plan was to proceed without a championship due to this (races would just be stand alone events). But we feel that if we can find someone able and willing to total up numbers at the end of the weekend, we would like to keep the championship alive.
2021 Scoring - Club Fords and Historic Fords will be scored separately. Points for this year will be:
10 - 1st
8 - 2nd
6 - 3rd
5 - 4th
4 - 5th
3 - 6th
2 - 7th
1 - 8th
An additional point will be awarded for class pole, as well as an additional point for class fastest lap. Finally, everyone gets a point for each race in which they take a green flag. So the maximum points score for a "perfect" season would be 78 points. (6 poles, 6 starts, 6 fastest laps, 6 wins). Ties will be broken by number of race wins, followed by number of pole positions, and if that still doesn't do it we will have a potato sack race at our series finale, CSRG race weekend party.
One To Go:
