Default Prelimiary Classification System for Dubs Along the Rockies (DATR)

THIS IS NOT SET IN STONE, I just wanted to give you guys an idea of what you will be looking at. Also we are going to REQUIRE that all Autocross participants be pre-registered and the fee is going to be either $35 or $40... to be decided for sure next week.

By the way, I got an email from two guys in Utah that have thrown down the guantlet. They told me they predict themselves to run #1 and #2 fastest raw time in ANY class so you guys had better start practicing so the Utah guys do not clean your clocks on race day!

Modifications and Point Assessments:
If your car equals 15 points you will be bumped up one Class. There is no limit - a car
with a high level of modifications might move up several Classes.
15 thru 29 points - Up ONE Class
30 thru 44 points - Up TWO Classes
45 thru 59 points - Up THREE Classes
60 thru 74 points - Up FOUR Classes
