On May 24th, 2010, the
sixth running of the FFRL All-Star Challenge takes
place. This race is a "non points" race with one winner
who is honored at the 2010 Awards Ceremony that takes
place at the end of the season. In 2010, #29
Andrew Mendes
will be defending his 2009 title.
The FFRL All-Star Challenge is a race
off competition among drivers who have either won the
"FFRL OPEN", is an existing CUP Series Champion, or have
recorded a win in the Magnum or Sportsman Cup Series in
the 2009/2010 Seasons. Wins in the Diamond Series,
IROC, and Extreme Series do not
qualify for this event. However, drivers of those
series can qualify to compete in the FFRL OPEN to earn
the chance to progress into the FFRL All-Star Challenge.

miles, run in two segments of 25 laps and 15 laps. As

currently in progress during lap 24, that yellow will be
counted as the mandatory stop. Since this is a
non-points race, the "Lucky Dog" will not be enforced.

FFRL ALL-STAR CHALLENGE |
|
The distance for
the "FFRL All-Star Challenge" consists of 100
laps, 150 miles, run in three segments of 45
laps, 30 laps, and 25 laps. |
|
First Segment:
Drivers must make a mandatory green-flag, four
tire pit stop during the first segment. This
stop must be made prior to lap 26. Drivers
failing to change four tires will be served a
black flag. No exceptions. If a yellow is drawn
out, this does not count for the mandatory
green-flag pit. Drivers on pit road or servicing
their required pit, when the caution comes out,
will be accepted since they entered prior to the
Yellow. |
|
Second Segment:
At lap 44 when the leader crosses the line, the
HOST will post for all drivers to enter Pit
Road. The Yellow Flag will NOT be thrown.
Drivers must pit but may elect to change tires,
add fuel, make normal chassis adjustments, and
repair damage. Drivers are to remain in their
pit boxes while the HOST draws for inverting the
field from 4. 6. 8, or ALL. An example: If
Driver A is currently in 1st position and the
HOST draws "6", Driver A will be in 6th position
while the driver who was in 6th, now resides in
first. The driver who was in 2nd, is now in
5th. Once decided, the HOST will call drivers
out of pit road to line up in order just outside
the pit road. The new leader will then lead the
field under pace speeds until the HOST calls for
GREEN. This segment continues the race for the
next 30 laps. No need to pit. |
|
Third Segment:
As the leader passes the line for Lap 73, a
mandatory Yellow will be thrown which drivers
may elect to pit, but not mandatory. Drivers
pitting may add fuel, change tires, make chassis
adjustments, and repair damage. Drivers are to
treat this Yellow with normal yellow conditions.
When the field goes Green, it's a race to the
checkered flag. |
|
Since this is a
non-points race, the "Lucky Dog" will not be
enforced. Drivers more than 2 laps down,
will be asked to park their car for the duration
of the race. The Gentlemen's Rule is enforced. |
