AMP Series under goes new Point System Race Format during 2008
To qualify for points, racers must of competed in 80% of all scheduled events.
Racers that run for AMP Series points that compete in 100% of scheduled events will
receive $500.00 bonus at season ending awards banquet.
AMP Series 2008 point format
Drivers will draw for heat race line-up position at time of
registration. The number of heat races run will be determined by the
number of entries. Drivers will earn finishing points for their
position at race's end, and passing points (1 1/2 per car) for each car passed.
The driver will receive points only for cars passed that take the
green flag. A car that fails to start the race will not be considered
passed.
The total of these two points will be used to determine qualifying for
the Feature Race. The top 14 in passing points will qualify for the
Feature race. The balance of the field will line up in one or two
(depending on the number of entries) conciliation races that will
transfer 4 cars to the feature to make a field of 18 and two
provisional starters.
AMP will start 20 cars unless otherwise stated/posted at
track.

Provisional Starters
The highest-ranked two drivers in the top 15 in AMP points that fail
to qualify for the feature will be added to the rear of the field with a
promoter's option (if used). Alternates may be used to fill 20-car
qualifying field. A driver must present a race ready competitive car
at TECH in order to qualify for a provisional
Season Points Structure
1. Each 'A' Feature win is 40 points, with each subsequent position worth one
point less, with 22nd position in feature worth 19 points. If more than 22 cars
start feature, all positions from 22nd back receive 19 points. If track runs a
'B' feature(s), first non-transferring driver receives 18 points and each
subsequent position, back to sixth position, receives one less point per position.
Sixth position and back in 'B' feature(s) receive 13 points. This applies to
all 'B', even if more than one is run.
2. Drivers that don't qualify for 'A' or 'B' feature will receive 13 points equal to a last position
finish for a 'B' feature.
3. Heat race points are awarded as follows: 1st - 3 points; 2nd - 2 points; 3rd - 1
point.
4. Each driver will be able to drop 2 points nights for the season. These may be
used for events that they do not attend or have mechanical failures, accidents, or
simply poor finishes. All driver's final points will be based on the bases of all
the AMP scheduled events (including co-sanctioned) - (minus) lowest two (2) points
nights.
5. On nights that we are co-sanctioned, AMP drivers that sign in as AMP competitors
will be award points in reference to only AMP competitors for that night. (Ex. We
have drivers finish 1st-3rd-4th-7th-10th in the event, they will receive points for
the 1st five positions for the evening. This will not affect the pay scale for the
event.) Another example would be: In the event that we have only 10 AMP competitor
qualifiers for the event, 11th place points would go to the first non-qualifier and so
on. If 2 drivers have the same non-qualifying position in a 'B' Feature the high
position would be awarded to the driver in the earlier 'B' Feature. Again, minimum
points received for any night with driver signed as AMP Competitor will be 13
points.
6. ALL AMP members competing (100%) in ALL AMP Sanctioned and co-sanctioned events will
be
awarded $500 Bonus at the 2008 AMP Series Banquet.
Feature Race:
AMP will start 20 cars unless other wise stated/ posted at tracks.
