The Festival State Cup Series rules for 2009.

The classes of Senior National Light and Heavy and Clubman Medium have been dropped, and the classes of Sportsman 125 Light and Heavy are to be added to the Festival State Cup series awards.  In the past 3 years the numbers of drivers in the deleted classes has fallen,  and the new classes that have been introduced by the AKA are gaining strong support so they are now to be included.

The Sportsman SA class will have some eligibilty rules imposed.  Any senior driver may compete in the class at any round,  however the top 3 placegetters from this class in the previous year's FSC series  will be ineligible to score points in the series itself, thus  only gaining any awards won on the day of competition.  The same will apply to all open, closed or national championship winners from any class,  ie all blue, black, green or red plate holders will be ineligible to gain points in the series awards.    

( Sportsman SA rules have been amended to mirror these regulations ... see here  )

#1 The points scoring system of 0, 2, 3 etc for 4 heats. The number of  laps to be determined by the individual lap distance of the track used at each round.

Draw , reverse draw for heats one and two, then lowest accumulated points to the front for heat 3 , and heat 4 is gridded  on the finishing order of heat 3.
 ( like a championship pre-final result allocates grids for the final )

#2 The listed support classes must be offerred by the organisers in Supp Regs.  These classes will run only 3 heats on the day.

#3 The AKA of SA State Council has approved 8 race meetings in 2009  to make up two 5 round series. The series scoring system will remain the same, ie 50, 48, 47 etc  with one round dropped by each driver, making 4 out of the 5 rounds to count toward the final result. 

#4  Sportsman SA  will have some eligibilty rules imposed.  Any senior driver may compete in the class at any round,  however the top 3 placegetters in this class from the previous year's FSC series  will be ineligible to score points in the series itself,  thus only gaining any awards won on the day of competition.  The same will apply to any open, closed or national championship winners from any class,  ie all blue, black, green or red plate holders will be ineligible to gain points in the series awards in this class

#5  For a driver to gain points in the Festival State Cup series at any round there must be a minimum of 3 drivers entered and competing in that class at that round.

#6  For a driver to be included in the overall results of a class  in the Festival State Cup series they must compete at a minimum  of 3 rounds of the series in that class. 

#7  For a class to be included in the overall series results of the Festival State Cup, ie have trophies and plates awarded at the presentation dinner,  that class must have been run at a minimum of 3 rounds in the series with its minimum 3 entrants at each round.   

#8  Although awards are given to individual podium finishers at the completion of each round, there are also end of series awards and prizes awarded at the end of the year presentation dinner.    The Festival State Cup Series prizes and trophies are awarded to their recipients at this dinner only if they are in attendance.

The generosity of our series sponsors allows lots of great prizes at the end of the year, from sets of tyres, engines, shirts, stickers, caps and lots of other great merchandise. You don't have to be the winner of your class, or a round to be in the running for many of the prizes.  You simply have to have entered in at least 3 rounds of the series and be present at the presentation dinner.
