GSRA POINTSCORE OBJECTIVES: 

The objectives of the GSRA annual pointscore are: 

	to promote Group S fraternity on both a state and national basis;
	to provide cohesion and focus to the annual program of Group S race activities;
	to provide a mechanism through which to recognise excellent, safe and consistent driving within and across Group S categories;
	to add to the competitive element;
	to promote the GSRA;
	to reward supportive promoters with large Group S grids; and
	to provide leverage over race promoters with GSRA pointscore endorsement.

In drafting the annual pointscore program, the GSRA needs to be cognisant of the realistic budget limitations that most GSRA members operate within. 

The annual pointscore GSRA program consists of the Catalina and Goldfields’ Cups which are for competition by GSRA members. 

GSRA non members will score points at each race meeting but only the results of GSRA members will be recorded in the GSRA pointscore table. 

CATEGORY and CAPACITY CLASS WINNERS: 

Sa, Sb and Sc Category winners.

Capacity class winners within the Sa, Sb and Sc Categories as follows: 

Saa up to 1300cc          Sab 1301cc to 2000cc   Sac over 2001cc 

Sba up to 1300cc          Sbb 1301cc to 1600cc   Sbc 1601cc to 2000cc   Sbd over 2001cc 

Sca up to 2000cc          Scb 2001cc to 2600cc   Scc over 2601cc 

DESIGNATED POINTSCORE ROUNDS: 

The GSRA Committee will identify selected race meetings as pointscore rounds with desirably:

	progressive grids being used whenever possible, and
	a minimum of three scratch races for each Group S category (Sa, Sb and Sc).

SCORING of RACES within a POINTSCORE ROUND: 

Normally a minimum of three scratch races for each Group S categories (Sa, Sb and Sc) will be scheduled although scoring can accommodate variations in the number of Group S races as follows: 

	only one scratch race conducted – no points shall be scored from the round.
	two scratch races conducted - a competitor’s results from both races to count.
	three scratch races conducted - a competitor’s best two races to count.
	four or more scratch races conducted - the fourth race and later races will not be scored - a competitor’s results from the best two races from the first three races to count.
	For some events such as the HSRCA Group S enduro the GSRA committee will promulgate special pointscore rules.

SCORING of POINTS at a RACE:

Points will be awarded for each position in class as follows, based on the number of competitors in each class that start in each race. 

Placing                           1st    2nd     3rd     4th   5th     6th 

Number of Starters in Class

Six or more                    18      15      12       9       6       3

 All competitors finishing outside these points will be awarded 1 point. Although GSRA non members will score points for each position in class, those points will not be recorded in the GSRA annual pointscore table. 

TROPHIES: 

No gold cups – just the enjoyment of competing in historic sports cars.
