-Participants register for the category they are eligible and want to compete in.  See the description of each category for more details to help you chose which you'd like to compete.

-Race series scoring will be kept per category. Points are awarded in each category based on how a participant places in that night's race. 1st place gets ‘X’ Points, 2nd place gets ‘Y’ Points, and so on. Your best 3 races for a given category will count towards the series final results. Participants can change to a different category for the series, but their points will only count towards the category which they raced on a given night.
