There are 3 important changes to the run order. The first one affects who runs in morning and afternoon run groups.

 

1.  AM and PM run orders have CHANGED!  
They do not alternate every other event. They run as follows:
Event #1         Bremerton      AM=NonStock    PM=Stock
Event #2         Packwood      AM=Stock         PM=NonStock
Event #3         Bremerton      AM=NonStock    PM=Stock
Event #4         Packwood      AM=Non-Stock   PM=Stock
Event #5         Packwood      AM=NonStock   PM=Stock
Event #6         Bremerton      AM=Stock         PM=NonStock
Event #7         Packwood      AM=Stock         PM=NonStock
Event #8         Bremerton      AM=Stock         PM=NonStock

 

Reasoning:  In an effort to balance out the season based on location for Stock and Non-Stock drivers, the run-group order of who drives AM and who drives PM for each event.  In the past, we have rotated simply with a “stock drivers run in the afternoon for even numbered events, and non-stock on odd numbered events” method.  Problem was that was each year one group was unfairly getting more events at Packwood (a longer drive and overnight stay for most competitors) in the afternoon preventing double-entry opportunities.

 

2.  In order to have our events be in greater compliance with national standards, we are going to be enforcing sound levels on cars with a sound meter.  National events will be strictly enforcing a 100db sound level on cars and testing regularly.  The region is acquiring a sound meter and will discuss the process, testing and enforcement online and at drivers meetings when we have the meter in hand.  Official enforcement at our regional events will give drivers plenty of time to make refinements in setup so they won’t have any issues at the Packwood National Tour and ProSolo in the summer.
