The top qualifier locks in pole position and can choose whether to participate in the sprint, and starting spots are then set by a short sprint race for each main. Electric divisions run A, B, and C mains, and nitro divisions include A, B, and C mains, with an emphasis on ample runtime for everyone. Plaques will be awarded to the top five in each class at the finals.
