The Festival State Cup Series rules for 2009.
Several changes have been made 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.

There are 2 combined rounds
at which some classes will run all 4 heats on a single day, however the
majority will be spread over the 2 days. The races are to be
arranged so that they are all of a similar distance throughout the series,
meaning that at Barossa there will be 10 lap heats, Bolivar are 8 laps and
Monarto will depend on the chosen track configuration for the meeting.
The new classes of Sportsman 125 Light and Heavy have been introduced and will
be run under state based rules. Initially this will be for all 125's to
be running on MG red tyres for the dry and Dunlop SLW1 wets for rain,
and two classes at weights of 160kg and 180kg. As the year progresses
there may be performance and/or driver restrictions introduced if they are
seen as necessary.
Please look here
for the local regulations for these classes.
