WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY ADDED A FOURTH WEEKEND!
The change in the schedule for this year moving laps to October has caused a wrinkle for all of us in our planning.
As of 8 AM this morning however, your Crossflow Cup team has confirmed a date with SF Region SCCA for a Crossflow Cup Rounds 3 and 4 to take place at Thunderhill on June 3/4. This will be a 2 day weekend with an optional (run by Thunderhill) test day on Friday. Entry fee will be below $600 with the Friday test day being an additional fee. They are giving us lots and lots of track time, our own space in the paddock, and best of all this gives us the 4th round and the extra weekend we needed to fill the hole left in the schedule by Laps moving to October.
HOW WILL THIS AFFECT THE POINTS?
Good question! The addition of a 4th weekend allows us to add a drop rule to the points as well for the first time. We will count your 7 best finishes of the 8 races towards your final tally for the year. Too many margaritas on Friday night cause you to have a bad race Saturday? Not a problem, your humble pointskeeper will throw that race out. Have to miss a whole dang weekend because your second cousin is getting married for the third time? Well buck up little camper, you’ll only be one race down, not two.
BUT WAIT... THERE'S MORE...
CSRG PRESENTS: THE TOP GUN SHOOTOUT
Crossflow Cup Racers- CSRG loves you. "Yeah yeah, we know" I can hear you saying. But as love professed is outdone by love shown, let me show you how much they love you. The Top Gun Shootout.
This season CSRG is giving the Crossflow racers a bonus race at the final round of the season. AFTER the final points race on Sunday at Laps for Laguna, there will be a 5 lap shootout race for 16 cars. There are only two ways to qualify for the Top Gun Shootout: by being a polesitter or by being a hard charger. If you win a pole position for one of the 8 rounds, you qualify for the Top Gun Shootout. If you are the hard charger for one of the 8 rounds, you qualify for the Top Gun Shootout. This race is a bonus event to feature what is effectively our 8 fastest qualifiers and our 8 best passers in an incredibly brief sprint race with no points up for grabs, just bragging rights. Qualifying will be set by pill draw for maximum excitement!
The winner of the Top Gun Shootout will be canonized by yours truly as The Top Gun for a whole year and take home the Top Gun Belt.
Champions and race winners are great... but what we all want to know is who's gonna be the Top Gun?!?
