WHAT IS YOUR RPM?...

The RPM (Racing Performance Measure) is the measuring stick to decide the success of each driver. Several factors are involved to reach the RPM. Our goal is to make it as equal as we possibly can for all drivers.

The following categories will determine the RPM for each driver:

Amount of karts in class average

Average Finish

Amount of races run versus total races (%)

Amount of karts finished ahead of

The sum of the above 4 categories will be divided by the # of categories included in the equation. Click here for an RPM example calculation.

There are four (4) steps by which to calculate points for each driver at each event. The goal is to award drivers based on performance and karts competing in each category.

Step 1 - Amount of karts in class average

No Show = 0 Points
1 kart = 1 point
2 karts = 2 points
3 karts = 3 points
4 karts = 4 points
5 karts = 5 points
6 karts = 6 points
7 karts = 7 points
8 karts = 8 points
9 karts = 9 points

10 or more karts = 10 points

Step 2 - Finishing Position

No Show = 0 Points
1st place = 10 points
2nd place = 9 points
3rd place = 8 points
4th place = 7 points
5th place = 6 points

6th place = 5 points
7th place = 4points
8th place = 3 points
9th place = 2 points
10th or back = 1 point

Step 3 - Attendance Bonus

• If a driver registers for an event, he or she will receive 10 points for this category for the event.

• If a driver does not register, he or she will receive 0 points for this category for the event.

Step 4 - Amount of karts finished ahead of

No Show = 0 Points
1 kart = 1 point
2 karts = 2 points
3 karts = 3 points
4 karts = 4 points
5 karts = 5 points
6 karts = 6 points
7 karts = 7 points
8 karts = 8 points
9 karts = 9 points

10 or more karts = 10 points
