Scoring at El Toro

[Bill Howell]

Scoring at EL Toro

All phases of competition will be scored according to your fastest lap or time, not a combination of two or more laps. Your best one is the one that counts.
If you drive your car to the event and that trip is more than 100 miles, you will receive an additional 3 points. Please be able to prove you drove the car, not trailered it. One sure way is to take a picture of your car, fueling up, with a local, dated paper showing you are at least 100 miles away from El Toro field.

Baer Brake's Speed/ Stop Challenge- This is a timed event that has a stop box at the end. You can run as fast as you like, but have to stop in the box to qualify. Look for speeds near 100 mph here before stopping.
1st place earns 12 points
2nd place earns 10 points
3rd place earns 9 points
4th place earns 7 points
5th place earns 5 points
all others earn 2 points.

In the case of a tie, the tie breaker will be the person with the best autocross time.


The carshow will be judged by some very qualified people and they will use their own scoring methods. I am not a carshow guy so I will leave that up to them. You will recognize them once you arrive that day.

Oo.. I thought it was going to be a 0-60-0 challenge, but this looks to be a lot tougher, near 100mph speeds and the slam the brakes. OOo our brakes our going to hate us.

so for those that are closer than 100 miles, can they get the points if they prove they drove it to the 100 mile mark sometime that week?

i think its a good incentive for all to drive and not trailer, so i understand why its being done. but, it would be nice to include those that are being excluded due to location. 3 points could be huge!

btw, i have no pony in the race this year. and i doubt el toro mcas will still be a runway when im done.

This is true... participants like Mary and James get a 3pt advantage from the start. Regardless they'll be hard to beat even without it, but that could be the make or break!

Still, should be interesting.

What if the drive there only happens to be say....I dunno....76.5 miles?

Well, actually no... but it does mean that there will be a unofficial official 100 mile cruise on Friday for those of us who can't make the drive to the event before hand.

It's not the brakes that will suffer the insult but the tires. With my street tires costing some serious coin, let's just say this won't be my best event nor finish in class no matter what car I end up in.

This is a great idea and we should be able to find somewhere fun to go in sunny So. Cal. on Thursday or Friday.

Mary Pozzi and I can really haul ass typing on this iPhone keyboard.

[Vegas69]

Will there be a practice session, how long is the road course, and how many laps?

I'm tellin'........texting while distracted!

I was thinking of drive to a place where it would over 100 miles to El Toro for the 3 points cause I know I'm going to need everyone. This is what happens when you bring a knife to a howizer fight.....

[Nessumsar]

Aw come on Mary, you don't have ABS-Foot? lol

This should be an interesting event!

[KrakNBox]

Bill,

What time will the event start? Also, can you post an entry list?

Thanks....

[mpozzi]

We've got that 100-mile requirement solved and will have the evidence to prove it ...

Cheers,

Nah, I'm not 100+ miles from El Toro. I'm 110+ miles round trip, but not 100+ miles each way. Maybe 1.5 bonus points? Bill? Throw me a bone here.

When and where, I will be coming into town on Friday.
