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. This year the equation was changed a little in the fact it now offers a drop for drivers. Every six races counted now includes one drop.  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 Gold Rush, IKF Region 11, and Pro Kart 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. 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.
