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.
The 2009
NorcalKarters.com #1 ranked driver is no surprise. Leading
Edge’s Brett Felkins. Felkins flew the Leading Edge Flag
high in 2009 and gathered an impressive record from Tracks
to series. Many big races were won by Felkins, however many
of them were not eligible for the rankings. Moreover it
didn’t affect his ranking. 10 races were counted for 246
points. 3 Wins and 5 top 5’s, Brett Felkins is the most
deserving of holding this ranking. A Pro Kart Regular in the
star studded field of Tag Senior’s, Brett Felkins is
NorcalKarters.com #1 ranked Sr driver in 2009!
