GPG Leagues:
- MANN MOTORSPORTS M-Power Cup Series-
Format and Rules (begins JUNE, 2008)
1.
League participants will be broken into three weight classes.
Lights: up to 170 lbs., Middles: 171-210 lbs., & Heavy's:
211 lbs and up. All classes will race Monday nights with practice
starting at 7:00 pm. All League racers must either be members
already or join to enter. GPG scales will be used. No mukluks,
heavy coats or lead weights will be welcomed at the weigh-in.
No changing of weight classes after we start - unless we catch
you fudging! <G>
2. The season will last 5 weeks with 4 of those weeks counting
towards championship points. This allows a participant to miss
one week without penalty. The season begins as soon as we register
at least 25 racers.
3. Points will be earned by finishing position in feature races
and calculated at one point per racer in a race. If there are
6 racers, 1st place gets six points and 6th place gets 1 point.
This prevents a large point gap to develop on a poorly attended
night.
4. One (1) bonus point will be awarded for the pole position.
In the event of multiple feature races in a single weight class,
one (1) bonus point will be awarded for each pole sitter.
5. The event will be broken into multiple run groups for each
weight class (determined by practice times) if needed to balance
the racing. Practice will begin at 7 pm and be 6 min. heats
until 8:15. Qualifying heats will be determined by fast lap
during practice. There will be at least 3 qualifying and race
heats for each night A maximum of 10 karts per heat will be
allowed on track, so the sign-up order and participation levels
will determine if we need to limit entries.
6. The cost will be $25 registration plus $55 per night. Racers
may not use pre-purchased races or coupons for league use.
7. The prizes for each weight class are as follows:
a. Grand Champion: Trophy: 1 All Day race Pass & (1) Eight
Race Package
b. First Loser: Trophy and a Five Race Package.
c. Next Loser: Trophy and Three Race Package.
d. Other prizes will be offered as we are able to obtain them
from our corporate sponsors. Examples are food coupons, hats,
shirts, etc.

order for the race, not the kart number.

remember this is a 250 lap race. Crashing or getting penalty
in the first corner, does not benefit your team.

· If a race needs to be slowed to remove a kart and replace
it, the karts will be slowed using the Shutdown system. No passing
will take effect under this full course yellow situation.
· All Grand Prix Greensboro Karting Rules Apply
o The first penalty for violation of the rules will be a 10-second
pit stop for that team's kart and driver in the pit or in the
penalty box. Penalties start upon all other karts exiting the
pits.
Example: Team 5 gets a penalty. Team 4 is in the pit changing
drivers. Team 5 must wait to receive their penalty time until
Team 4 has exited the pit after changing drivers.
o The second penalty for a violation of the rules will be a
30 second pit stop for the team and the removal of the driver
from the race. Another driver must continue racing.
o The third penalty for any particular kart/team regardless
of driver will result in removal of the kart/team from the race.
o Most racers are accustomed to a 20 lap race. This is a 250
lap or two hour endurance race, not a sprint. Remember that
there will be hundreds of turns to get past your opponents,
not just the next one in front of you.
o This event is non-refundable. No refund will be given for
any reason, kart breakage, violation of rules, improper conduct
or basically losing the race for any possible reason on the
planet that could occur.
· Please remember that this is supposed to be fun. We
award prizes, trophies and other items for endurance races,
but the goal is to enjoy two hours of spirited racing in a competitive
environment without someone getting hurt. Remember your manners
and act appropriately as a winner or loser. Take into consideration
that there are a number of other people trying to enjoy the
same experience that you are. Don't be a poor sport and ruin
the experience for someone else. Inappropriate actions will
result in the participating member being barred from racing
at Grand Prix Greensboro again.
