Figuring out your Weight:
This might seem to be complicated, but it really makes for very competitive racing!!! First of all, you need to know how many cubic inches your engine is and a calculator to make it easier... For example you have a 550ci Big Block(3125lbs) with Sheet Metal Intake(+10%), Dry Sump(+10%) and a Power-Glide Transmission(-15%) Total up your weights adds and subtract your weight deducts....You would take your Cubic Inch multiply by the amount Adds or Deducts and come up with your PSCA Race Weight......Example for above... Add 10% + 10% - 15% which equals a total of 5%.. Take that 5%x 550 which equals 27.5lbs, add that to your 3125 Base Weight (27.5 + 3125 ='s 3152.5lbs) Your SCSN RACE WEIGHT WILL BE 3153....We will round up all figures to the nearest pound.. If anyone has any trouble figuring out your weight for your combo, you can contact Mel at 661-917-3078 and I will assist you...

RACE DAY POLICY'S

Field Size and Ladder:

All cars that DO NOT QUALIFY, will be eligible to enter into our Bracket-1 Class on Sunday that will pay a guaranteed $1250.00 to WIN....

Alternates:
If there are more than 32 cars qualifying for the 32-car field, we will start inserting alternates (To replace broken qualified cars) starting at spot 33 and so on... If you are an alternate, and a spot opens up, you will be inserted in the 1st available position before the drivers meeting on Sunday morning. This will give the qualified cars overnight to get the cars repaired.

SCALES:
After each qualifying and elimination pass, all cars must stop and weigh at the track scales. If you lose in eliminations, and your opponent fails to make weight you will be reinstated into the eliminations only if you made minimum weight requirements. If both cars failed to make minimum weight, both cars will be disqualified. It is the driver's responsibility to verify with each track scale, the weight of his/her car prior to each race day. There will 5lb error factor allowed.

TOW BACK & TOW VEHICLES:
All Hot Street entries are allowed to tow to staging lanes and to the track scales with a golf cart or other similar small tow vehicle. All carts will be subject to search by a SCSN Official at any time.
