COMPETITION FORMAT – VegasProAm 2010

General

Drifting is a driving technique in which the driver takes the line that is decided upon bythe judges of the event. Generally this line is one that yields the highest speeds andanticipated angle the car is capable of handling.The VEGASPROAM Series consists of 4 scheduled events held at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway Bullring lot. Drivers compete in a single elimination “Top 8” or “Top 16”bracket depending on the amount of registered participants that meet the required techinspection. Notice of the type of bracket (Top 8 or Top 16) will be announced at theMorning Drivers Meeting.Drivers individually compete “head-to-head” against other competitors in singleelimination runs on an open course layout. Competitors progress through a “competitionbracket” and are awarded points towards the season championship. Head to head“Runs” are judged and scored based on a number of pre determined criteria where thehigher scoring entrant moves on to the next level of the bracket. Points are awardedbased on finishing order and cumulative season points will determine the championshiporder.Drivers that wish to participate in the series but do not meet the Formula Drift ProAmTandem requirements (i.e. Cage/Race Suit/Kill Switch/Tow Hooks) will be able toparticipate in “Non Caged” practice sessions and earn series points from qualification.

Judging

The criteria for judging are as follows:SPEEDLINEANGLESTYLE

SPEED

:Speed is the only non-subjective criteria. Speed is factored in by monitoring a driver’sspeed using a radar speed-tracking device

at a specific part of the course. Each coursewill have a minimum of one, but possibly two speed areas. Speed will be captured atthose areas and given a designated points scale based on the average speed generatedthrough the weekend from the driver pool. This system helps those drivers that may gainan advantage in points by drag racing to a certain speed zone. This system allows for the speed points to be generated by the driver who maintains the most consistent speedaround the track.

LINE

:The drift line is defined as the ideal path a vehicle must take on course and is marked byinner clipping points, outer clipping points, and transition zones. Inner Clipping Point arereference points on the course where the vehicles front bumper should come as close aspossible to the reference point. Outer Clipping Points are reference points are scored bydetermining how close the corner of the vehicle’s rear bumper comes to the point.Transition Zones are areas on track where the direction of the line changes and vehiclesmust change the direction of their drift. Scoring will be based on the execution of thetransition. The drift line will be given during the drivers’ meeting.
