Pointers for DUPR Hosts
The host should test the cars in the week before the event
The host should organise for enough skilled drivers, marshalls and note takers to run the event.
If possible decide on who will drive and allow them to get the feel for the cars before the event
Select the lane to be used for qualifying and get one of the faster drivers to qualify the cars. Remember to keep track of times, etc.. to post in the results and to determine starting order.
On race night check all the cars and clean the braids and tyres.
Enter the ENTRANTS names into the race program in qualifying order.
The cars are then set out in the running order to make things easy.
The race time is then setup on the system, aiming for 12 minutes total race time for each car. (that'd be 4 minute heats on a three lane track, three minute heats on a four lane track.....)
Allocate which lane each driver will race on. Each driver should remain on that lane for the duration of the event so that they get to drive each car under similar conditions.
The race is then run with the cars rotating across the lanes each bracket and the drivers remaining on the lane.
At the end of the race, save the lap scores. The winner is then awarded 100 points and the remainder of the field points are calculated as a percentage of the winners laps score.
After the dust settles, the round host should check cars for damage and undertake repairs etc... as per the regs (contact the car's owner and sort out what needs to be done.) Then box them up and post/deliver to the next host.
I will reimburse you for the postage costs out of the DUPR entry fees.
If I've left anything out (or got it wrong) please feel free to add to this topic.
