Points for each month

Your AVERAGE LAP TIME for each event is your points for that month. In December, the top 10 by # of challenges completed AND low score moves onto the “Gauntlet” finale.

“White Elephant Draw” for the finale will be on Monday, December 8th, 2025 at 7pm.

  • There will be 10 chips with kart numbers. 1st place in gauntlet pulls first chip then 2nd, then 3rd, and so on. Once chips have been pulled, then we go back to 1st place, and that driver can keep their chip or “trade” chips with another driver.
  • You only get one chance! Once the “draw” is completed, you will be assigned that kart for the entirety of the “Gauntlet Finale.” If the kart breaks down, it is what it is.
  • The start is a double file from a dead stop for each race.
