OSCRA Points System

This explains exactly how points work, including bonuses, minimums, and how championships are decided.

***** 1. OSCRA TRACK STATUS

OSCRA currently has two (2) officially confirmed participating tracks

One (1) additional track is leaning toward joining

OSCRA is in active conversations with several more tracks

The goal is to have all participating tracks finalized before the season opens

The points system is designed to work no matter how many tracks participate, without needing rule changes.

***** 2. WHAT RACES COUNT FOR POINTS?

Every OSCRA race counts.

If:

The race is run under OSCRA rules, and

You take the green flag in the feature

That race earns OSCRA championship points.

There are:

No special points nights

No races that “don’t count”

If you race, you earn points.

***** 3. HOW POINTS ARE EARNED

Points are earned based on feature race finishing position

Better finish = more points

Only the feature finish counts

You do not earn points for:

Heat races

Qualifying

Practice

***** 4. FINISHING VS. STARTING

If you start the feature, you earn finishing points

Even if you wreck, break, or get lapped

However:

You must finish under your own power to earn travel bonus points

***** 5. HOME TRACK

Each driver declares one home track when joining OSCRA

Home track is locked after your first OSCRA race

Cannot be changed during the season

Your home track:

Earns full finishing points

Does not earn travel bonus points

***** 6. TRAVEL POINTS

Travel points reward drivers who race away from their home track.

+2 bonus points for each race night

Must be at an OSCRA track other than your home track

Must:

Start the feature

Finish under your own power

***** 7. TRAVEL POINTS CAP

Travel points are capped at 10 points per non-home track per season

After 5 away races at the same track:

You still earn finishing points

You no longer earn travel points at that track

This prevents point farming.

***** 8. BEST FINISHES COUNT

Only your best 10 finishing results count toward the championship.

This:

Protects drivers from bad luck

Keeps championships close

Helps budget racers stay competitive

You may race more than 10 times — only your top 10 finishes are used.

Travel and bonus points are added on top.

***** 9. MINIMUM STARTS

To be eligible for:

Championship standings

End-of-season awards

You must compete in at least 6 OSCRA race nights.

***** 10. ALL-TRACK BONUS
(Only Applies When OSCRA Has 3 or More Tracks)
What It Is

When OSCRA has three (3) or more participating tracks, a one-time +5 championship point bonus is awarded to drivers who race at every OSCRA Participating Track during the season.

This bonus rewards full-series commitment.

How You Earn It

You earn the All-Track Bonus by:

Racing at least one OSCRA feature

At each OSCRA Participating Track

Any time during the season

Once you have raced all OSCRA tracks, the bonus is awarded.

Important Clarifications

Bonus is +5 points

Awarded once per season

Added on top of your normal points

Does not replace one of your best 10 finishes

Does not affect payout eligibility

If OSCRA Has Fewer Than 3 Tracks

The All-Track Bonus does not apply

Normal points and travel points still apply

No bonus is awarded in 2-track seasons

***** 11. PAYOUT RACES & POINTS

Payout races earn full OSCRA points

Points are never reduced for winning money

Points and payouts are separate systems

***** 12. PAYOUT LIMIT RULE

Each driver/car may win one OSCRA $500 payout per season

Additional wins pass payout money down the field

Hornet 100 finale is exempt

Points are still earned normally.

***** 13. DRIVER VS CAR

Points follow the driver

Payout eligibility follows the driver/car combination

***** 14. MID-SEASON ENTRIES

Drivers joining mid-season:

Earn points immediately

Earn travel points immediately

May earn the All-Track Bonus if requirements are met

Championship eligibility still requires 6 race nights.

***** 15. TIEBREAKERS

If championship points are tied:

Most feature wins

Most top-5 finishes

Most total OSCRA starts

Best finish in the finale

***** 16. AVERAGE-JOE SUMMARY

Every race counts

Finish better = more points

Travel = bonus points

Best 10 finishes count

Race 6 times to qualify

All-Track Bonus only applies if OSCRA has 3+ tracks

Same rules everywhere. If you show up, race clean, and stay involved — you’ll be competitive
