Silver State 300 Ultra4 Starting Order
It’s almost time for the 2nd stop in the 2011 Ultra4 Series: Best in the Desert’s Silver State 300! The Ultra4 class currently has 35 registered drivers which makes the 4400s the largest single class competing in this year’s event!
Silver State 300 is one of the qualifiers for the 2012 King of the Hammers. Hammerking is taking the top 10 finishers from each of the remaining 5 series races in 2011 and giving them a spot at KOH 2012. If 6 or more of the top 10 finishers are already KOH qualified, finishers 11 on down will earn a spot, until 5 new KOH racers have spots. Between 5 and 10 teams will qualify at this event. We are guaranteeing a minimum of 5 spots but can have as many as 10 spots should all top 10 finishers not already be qualified.
We’re going to do our best to bring you as much coverage from the field as possible and we’ll be using this thread to keep you posted. Check back here over the next few days for links to keep track of the action this weekend!
All the Ultra4 cars will have IRC Tracking for this event and can be followed on Race the World’s web site: http://www.racetheworld.net
