Thanks to everyone who answered, it makes more sense now. I appreciate it 🙂
Does anyone know how the points system works and what is worth what? the reason I ask is because yesterday when my hubby and i were looking at the points, we got roughly 240 points, but several racers who hadn't even made it into the feature got roughly 200 points. they didn't even take the green flag! Does anyone know why this is? Today it's been changed, but i still don't understand it? Please help 🙂
From the rule book..
Race winner receives 200 points. From 199 points for second position, the scores will decrease by one point for each position on down through the feature finish. Points will be awarded only to drivers with registered numbers. Cars will be awarded points based on their final feature finishing position.
ENDURO POINT FUND RULES
1. Delaware Speedway Enduro points will be awarded to the car number. Delaware Speedway point fund money will be awarded to the registered car owner or registered recipient based upon performance in owner’s point standings.
2. Qualifying for an event (not necessarily feature) is defined as an active attempt to run the event (e.g. paying entry fee, signing in at track pit gate and having an operable, legal race car that has passed tech inspection in the track pit
area).
3. To receive championship points, a driver and car must take the starting green flag. Any driver racing a car in an Enduro race may have a Delaware Speedway-registered relief driver, but relief driver receives no points. Relief drivers must be pre-approved by Delaware Speedway and have same safety equipment as primary driver.
4. In case of any ties, except first place, money and points for the tied position shall be pooled and divided equally among contestants involved in the tie. In all cases of ties for Delaware Speedway Enduro Championship (First place only) ties will be broken by using the greatest number of firsts in feature events counting toward that championship, and
if a tie still exists, seconds, thirds, etc. will be considered, until the tie is broken.
5. Any and all penalties associated with purse monies and fines for competitor infractions, will be added to the year-end point fund, less 20% for administration fees.
6. Division Title Sponsor decals must be displayed on all cars competing in any Enduro event. No exceptions.

Ok, I am still confused...It says in the rules that " To receive championship points, a driver and car must take the starting green flag."
So if you don't take the green flag you shouldn't get points for that race, whether it be heat or feature. Is that right?
The only reason I ask is because we called Delaware about this on Monday, they changed stuff on Tuesday and now not only is everything changed again, but we are now lower than we started. I am so confused ???

You may or may not receive points for the heat race (if you didn't start it). It depends on if quailified cars receive last place points. If you paid your entry fee, entered the back gate and passed tech, you would be concidered a quailified entry.
As far as the feature goes, there have been a few cars this year that have been awarded feature points
even though they have not taken the green flag in the feature because of problems in the heats..
the heat race and a feature r seperate....u must take a green flag to recieve points in a heat race..
and then u must take a green flag in a feature to recieve points in it!!!
if u raced the heat and not the feature u will still get ur heat race points...just not feature points and vice versa!!!
hope this clears things up 4 u!!!!
