JUNIORS Running LIGHT OR HEAVY DIVISIONS AT ADELAIDE.
After discussions with some of the Juniors / parents representing both
Light & Heavy drivers,
The consensus is not to change weights on the day & possible gearing
changes to run some average weight at very short notice [ between 95 &
115 KG]
Drivers want to run their kart at its normal class weight at all
tracks. The club doesn't want juniors ringing up during the week trying
to work out whats running at what weight.
Question ::What if there are less than 5 entries in the 1 division .
Answer :: Using an example of say 7 light drivers & only 3 heavy
drivers [ less than 5 ] have entered.
Adelaide will combine the 2 into 1 race on the day.
The Light drivers will always start at the front , with the heavy
drivers starting directly behind [ leaving no gaps ]
IE using the example above- Lights take grids 1 to 7 . Grid 8 is the
1st heavy driver.
If 5 heavy drivers appear on the day [ as some rear of fielders didn't
nominate ] The heavy class will run its own race, separate to the lights.
In the program therefore the grid positions will always be correct ,
whether running combined or running a separate race .
IE using the example above- IF you have Junior Heavy grid 1 in the
race program for the 1st race, It means if there are 7 lights , you
are starting on grid 8.
The 1st light & also the 1st heavy driver to finish will be deemed the
1st in their class & get the full 20 points each.
Adelaide will always provide 3 trophies for any Junior division EVEN
if there are 3 entries only , 2 for 2 entries etc .
Adelaide will provide 3 perpetual trophies at end of year for both
Junior divisions & points from every meeting [ except Club Champ ] will
go towards their total, irrespective of how many entered on the day of
any meeting.
The only exception is the club would expect a junior to have competed in
a majority of the race meetings [ suggested at 8 of the 11 programmed
min. subject to cancellation meetings etc]
This is the plan ahead for 2008 & has been done to show the support we
have towards the Junior drivers & there exceptional situation that they
can not run in other classes as the senior drivers have more choices to
do so . Also Junior can only run in Juniors , & can not run in both
divisions.
We hope for your support , agree this is a practical solution , in the
best interest for the Juniors , & will only lead to hopefully increased
Nos in the Junior fields quickly as at Adelaide we have put forward more
trophies than expected.
Note: Rear of fielders will always be at the rear irrespective of what
division they are entered. IE A light rear of field will start behind
the field of heavies when the 2 weights are running together.
