Below are the answers to our most frequently asked questions.
What happens to my eligibility if our club or track does not meet their obligations and or the program requirements?
+−
If a track fails to submit points within two (2) weeks of a posted WSR all participating racers will receive ZERO points for that race. While we will make every attempt to reach out to tracks to try to prevent this from happening we ask for your help for the benefit of all tracks participating.
What if my club or series has already started racing before this program was released?
+−
We understand that some tracks have races that start before and after the program duration. At this time, we do not have the manpower to administer the program beyond the specified eligibility dates and are unable to extend the accepted race results.
We run the 206 in our dirt or enduro club series, are we eligible?
+−
It is our opinion combining multiple areas of karting doesn’t truly highlight who was the best at a given discipline. With the sprint karting market adopting this program en masse, we have decided to keep this limited to sprint karting.
What will happen if I don’t race 8 races, am I still eligible for points and prizes?
+−
Individual final standings will be based off of participants that have competed in at least 8 WRS events. Racers with a MINIMUM of 7 completed races will STILL be eligible but would not have the option of a drop.
What happens if my track cannot get a minimum of 8 races because of weather or an act outside of the track or racers control?
+−
Tracks are allowed to offer up to 10 regular dates to account for Mother Nature. Exceptions needed beyond this will be taken on a case- by-case basis.
Can I determine how many races my points are based off of? Let’s say I run 10 races but I received a DNF in race 8 but won race 10.
+−
Each racer will be based ONLY on their FIRST 8 finishes submitted by their club. Additional finishes will not be calculated towards your final points.
What happens in case of a tie?
+−
If a tie breaker is required it will be determined first by total points accumulated in the “finishing position” category. If this does not break the tie then the ‘ACTUAL karts finished ahead of will be used.
How can a person one week advance so many positions?
+−
If this happens it will be most likely be a result of when tracks submit results and the schedule each track chooses to use as their WRS racers. Although we will award contingency prizes at certain points in this program it is understood that club date selection, weather, the timeliness of results, etc. could impact results before the year-end calculation.
How can I dispute my finish or that of someone else?
+−
All race results will be submitted by the track/club only. Any discrepancy must be addressed by the racer to the track/club directly and resubmitted by the track/club within 10 days of posting.
Our local track races past the cutoff date, can we include these races in the WRS?
+−
The last date for racing in this program is 9/26/22. While we understand that certain parts of the country, due to heat and circumstances might still be competing, we have to provide enough time for final results and give clubs time to order a generator for their year-end banquets.
What if after starting I don’t want to be a part of the Briggs & Stratton WRS any longer?
+−
Any racer at any time can contact us at BriggsRacing@basco.com to be removed from this program per your track or club agreement.
