Events –

  • There will be ONLY 1 event, per state, per day. Meaning, 3 Races can happen in a single day in 3 different states.
  • Events will ONLY be on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

Participation –

2-1     Competitors may only participate in SPL List Race and take a chance at getting on the list if they live in the state which the event takes place

Exception: Competitors may choose to participate in a SPL List Race in another state and be on another state’s 10 ten list AS LONG AS they commit to ONLY competing in that state. Some states may have few or no events. This gives competitors an opportunity to be on a list and a chance to participate at the final event at the end of the year.

Setting Up The List

First Event Of A State

  • If no list is currently present in a state, all competitors will compete in 1 of 2 classes they qualify for. At the conclusion of that event, 1st-10th place finishers will make up the list for that state. Call Outs are optional at the conclusion of the event.

First Event Of A Season With Established List

  • Using the final list of last season, the first list race of the season will be a shake up. The Top 10 will draw #’s to see who competes against who. This will go until we have a new established list. If only 5 people from the list show up, then only those 5 will draw #’s, compete against each other to make up the new list. The bottom 5 ) 6th -10th ) will be established at the first SLR event.

How To Get On The List

SPL List Race Qualifying

  • In order to get on the list, competitors must participate in 1 of 2 SPL LIST RACE classes ( Basic or Advanced ). The loudest competitors in this class at the end of the day ( or after brackets are made ) will have the chance to call out #10 on the list.
  • Once your on the list, there is no need to participate in the qualifying process at future events.

SPL List Race Call Outs

  • If you’re the loudest person in your class at the event, you can call out #10 ( or the lowest person on the list ) on the list after brackets are made. Others competitors currently on the list may call out those directly above them on the list in order for themselves to move up the list to be #1.
  • Call Outs will be done in the order people are called out and notifying the head judge of the call out at registration or as soon as they arrive at the show.
  • Call Outs will begin after brackets are made. If you are not at the event by the time brackets are made you may get called out and loose a spot. Be sure to get there early.
  • Call Outs will ONLY happen at the show.
  • You may only call out the same person once per position on the list.

Example: If #5 calls out #4 and looses, then #4 calls out #3 and #4 wins ( #4 takes #3’s spot and #3 moves down to #4 ), then #5 calls out #4 and wins ( #5 moves to the #4 spot ), then #4 ( previously #5 ) can call out #3 ( previously #4 ). In this scenario, #3 got beat twice moving from #3 to #5. That being said, this demonstrates how two people in the #5 & #4 spot moved to #3&#4 therefor, 2 positions, 2 call outs can happen.

  • If you and your vehicle are not present at the event, you can be called out. If this happens, the person calling you out takes your spot. You may ONLY loose 2 spots on the list during this process.

Example: If you are not present to defend your spot on the list, you can only loose 2 spots during that event. If your #6 on the list and get called out by #7 and #8 .. this puts you at the #8 spot at the end of the event.

  • If you and your vehicle are at the event and you refuse a call out, you will loose your spot and you will move down the list.
  • If you and your vehicle are at the event and loose a call out, you may be called out again by the next person on the list.
