CLASS DESIGNATIONS/INDEXES:

Following the completion of Friday and Saturday’s Time Runs and True Street Eliminations, each LSX Index Showdown driver will be required to select an Index and officially submit it to the LSX Event Coordinator prior to Saturday evenings qualifying session. There will be a single qualifier Saturday evening to establish a qualifying order. In eliminations on Sunday morning a 32 or less car field will be laddered on a sportsman ladder. A 33 or greater car field is randomly paired until the field reaches 32 cars or less. When the field reaches 32 cars or less a sportsman ladder for the number of cars remaining will be used to pair the cars. Car placement on the ladder will be determined based on closest to index (without breaking out) for the last round that was randomly paired.
