2011 NorcalKarters.com Jr. 1 Number One

Every Year NorcalKarters.com compiles all the stats from Club Races and Regional programs from the Norcal and western Reno Kart tracks and uses a mathematical process to find the areas top ranked Drivers. The points are determined on the number of karts in the class, for example: in a 10 kart field the winner would receive ten points; the driver finishing last would receive 1 point. For IKF Region 11, Red Line Oil Karting Championship, Pro Kart North  and Norcal Outlaw races the drivers will receive double points for the higher level of competition, for example: if there are 10 karts in the class, the winner would receive 20 points, while the driver finishing last would receive 2 points. In order to qualify for the top ten, drivers must have competed in 8 or more races before the drop, some classes will be based on a wave. The points from each race would be compiled together minus the dropped races for low finishes, then the total would get divided by the number of races run,  finding the average points score for the driver. This particular method rewards the driver scoring good finishes against tough fields with high kart counts. ****Please note, one track did not have their club races counted due to results not being made available, that track was Stockton Motorplex. Only the Outlaw and Gold Rush races were counted due to the results being made available through mylaps.****


The Jr 1 category had a lot of good drivers competing for the number one spot and some drivers putting in over 30 races as well as one driver putting in 103 races in the 2011 season. 28 drivers made it into the ranking system with the correct number of races making the battle for the top 10 very competitive.
Ranking Number 1 in 2011 is Hunter Corbitt. Corbitt had 2 double points races and 8 single points races. Out of the 10 races counted for Corbitt, scored a total of 137 points and an average point score of 13.7 per event. Hunter had 2 wins, and 6 top fives this past season running Prokart North and selective gold Rush events. In the previous years of the NorcalKarters.com driver rankings Hunter had always secured a top 10 spot. In 2008 Corbitt landed the 9th spot in his rookie year. In 2009 he captured his first Number 1 ranked Jr1 driver status. In 2010 he landed some trouble but in the end had a 4th place finish in the rankings. Congrats to Corbitt as his is the first driver ever to gain number 1 ranking status twice in the Jr 1 division.
