On May 19th, 2012, the eighth running of the FFRL All-Star
Challenge takes place. This race is a "non points" race
with one winner who is honored at the 2012 Awards Ceremony that
takes place at the end of the season. In 2012, #81 Jay

Series Champion (previous two in the past ten years), or have recorded a win in the Magnum Cup Series in the
2011/2012 Seasons, or the top 2 drivers in the present year's
"FFRL All-Star Showdown".

| FFRL ALL-STAR CHALLENGE |
The distance for the "FFRL All-Star Challenge"
consists of 90 laps, 135 miles, run in five segments with four
20 lap segments and a signature 10 lap shootout. Each
segment will have a winner who then clinches a top-four spot
coming to pit road for a mandatory stop just prior to the 10-lap
finale. If a driver wins a segment twice, the second-place
driver for that segment gets entry into the top four
guaranteeing at least four cars to start the front on the final
10.
First Segment: 20 laps. Field is given a caution at
end of lap 20. Winner of first segment will be positioned
first to come down pit road at the end of segment 4. The
caution is optional. Drivers can pit during this break or
stay out. Field is set for next 20 by the order in which
they line up.
Second Segment: 20 laps. Field is given a
caution at end of lap 20. Winner of first segment will be
positioned second to come down pit road at the end of segment 4.
The caution is optional. Drivers can pit during this break
or stay out. Field is set for next 20 by the order in
which they line up.
Third Segment: 20 laps. Field is given a
caution at end of lap 20. Winner of first segment will be
positioned third to come down pit road at the end of segment 4.
The caution is optional. Drivers can pit during this break
or stay out. Field is set for next 20 by the order in
which they line up.
Fourth Segment: 20 laps. Field is given a
caution at end of lap 20. Winner of first segment will be
positioned fourth to come down pit road at the end of segment 4.
The caution is optional. Drivers can pit during this break
or stay out. Field is set for next 20 by the order in
which they line up.
Mandatory Pit Stop will take place at completion of the fourth
segment. The top four drivers in each segment will be
directed to enter pit road when OPEN on the first lap. All
other drivers must enter pit road the 2nd or 3rd time by.
The top four entering pit road first may be "black flagged" due
to being ordered to break the line to enter based on segment
win. This flag will be removed. Under caution, all
drivers MUST enter pit road. Drivers may service their
car, top off just for fuel, 2 or 4 tires, or even just drive
through. In other words, their service in pit lane is
optional.
Fifth Segment: 10 lap shootout. Winner takes all.
The "Lucky Dog" is applied for the All-Star Showdown and the
Challenge. Gentlemen's rule remains in effect as well as
all other FFRL Rules and Policies. |
