SHIPPING SCHEDULE
All entries need to arrive at the first track no later than 1 day prior to race day. Acceptance of late entries is at the discretion of the track operator.
Once an event is complete, the track operator must ship the entries to the track operator of the next event in a timely manner. Races will have at least 3 weeks in between, so this will hopefully not be an issue. Postage will be by Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation as these are tracked by the Post Office.
For any races held outside of the United States - they will be scheduled 4 weeks from the previous race and 4 weeks before the next race to allow time for shipping and customs processing.
Any track operator who keeps the cars and the fee money will be hunted down and die a slow death.
THE FEES

The entry fee for each race is $2.50 per car per race - (example: 1 car for 8 races is $20 - 2 cars for 8 races will be $40)
Entry fees must be sent to the SCK Cup Series Manager (how's that for a title) before the first race.
The car(s) of a team that has not paid before the first race will not be sent to the next race and will only be returned when the team owner sends the track operator money for postage.
The entry fees will be used to cover shipping costs from event to event in one box to cut the costs of postage - and to return the cars to their owners at the end of the series.
Entry fees will not cover the PIT STOP or DNFs
The customs cost of sending the entries out of the United States and back will be considered part of the postage cost and paid for out of the entry fees
At the end of the series, after all postage and customs fees have been paid - the remaining funds will be donated to the Home Racing World forum.
THE RACE:
RACE:
Each car will run two 30 lap heats - each heat will be on a different lane
The best 20 lap times of each 30 lap heat will be averaged, then the average times of the two heats will be averaged, this average will be your race score.
Lowest score wins. In the event of a tie the car with the fastest lap time will be the winner. If fastest lap times are the same the next two fastest lap times will determine the winner, and so on. If all lap times are identical, a winner will be chosen by the track owner at random.
FINISH:
The finishing positions will be determined by your race score as indicated above. The lowest race score will be first, next lowest score will be second, and so on.
DNF:
Any entry that is damaged and cannot be repaired (and is unable to continue) will be given a DNF and awarded last place finish points.
The track operator will determine whether the entry is repairable using the cars Pit Kit
In the event more than one entry is damaged and given a DNF, the entry with the fewest laps completed will be awarded last place finish points. The entry with the next fewest laps completed will be awarded next to last place finish points and so on.
DNF entries will be returned to their owners at the completion of the race (unless the owner wants it to go straight to the next race).
After the owner repairs the car - it can be sent to the next race without a points penalty.
The car the owner returns to the next race must have the same body and still adhere to all rules. All shipping charges for the DNF (to and from the series) are the owners responsibility. Cars need to arrive 1 day before the start of the next race.
