[REPTYL]

This is my proposal that I’m putting forward for all to view and comment on.

If it passes scrutiny here, we will be running with it at this years Shelby Fest.

I have utilized the results from the last two years Shelby Fest to ensure the formulae works well and covers all contingencies.

Saturday’s event will be split in two.
In the morning competitors will be on the track trying to record their fastest lap time. Laps completed after lunch can also count towards the fastest lap, but these laps also have another use. (I’ll cover that in a moment).Trophies will be awarded to the top 10 fastest performers regardless of car type or spec. If you have a fast car and you’re a good driver, you will be rewarded.

Now for the afternoon’s competition:
Trophies will be awarded to the 10 competitors that have the lowest regulatory factor. The regulatory factor is calculated by:
Subtracting the fastest lap time from the average (total number of laps completed minus the 3 slowest laps or safety car laps).
To qualify the driver must have completed 80% of the average number of laps completed by all competitors (Rounded up to the nearest whole number).

Sounds complicated, but it really works and works well.

To add one last twist: If you placed in the speed event, you will be exempt from the regularity event. Unless you have scored a higher ranking on the reg event, in witch case you become exempted from the speed event, thus freeing up spots for more trophy winners.

So regardless of weather you have a stock 302 doing 2 minute laps or a supercharged chev doing 1.30’s, there’s something in the event for everyone.
