- Friday and Saturday Open side pot
- BBR XTRA added money
- Rider sponsorship — early runs all three days
Every payout, to the dollar, is on the Finals page.
One card, all season
Four divisions.
One sanctioning covers first and second Open, one Pee Wee, one Youth and one Senior. Producers set their own splits — these are PEWC's suggested formats.
How it works
Three steps to a point.
The middle one is why your member number matters more than most riders realize.
STEP 01
Run at a sanctioned event
Any PEWC-sanctioned event, in any state we cover. Your placing in your division and D is what carries points.
STEP 02
The producer reports inside seven days
Results come in from the producer in Excel. Joined late? You have seven days after an event to get current and still collect.
STEP 03
Points post to your number
Matching runs on your PEWC member number first, then on your first and last name. Enter under a nickname and the points can miss you.
State · Combined · National
Know where you stand.
A state that clears the member threshold stands on its own. States under it race together in Combined. Everybody appears in the National standings.
- Your member number is the key. Points match on it first and on your name second, so give it at every sanctioned event and enter under the same name every time.
- Every placing pays. Thirty points for a win, one fewer for each place after it, down to one point for thirtieth — the same in every division and every D, from the 1D through to the 5D. The size of the class makes no difference.
- Three standings run at once. Your own state if it clears the member threshold, Combined if it does not, and National for everybody.
