2011 NorcalKarters.com Sr. 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 SR category had a lot of good drivers competing for the number one spot as many Jr 2 drivers moved up in 2011. The Sr rankings are one of the toughest competition to be in the top 10 as many Sr classes are combined: Tag, Rotax, Shifter, Super Sportsman, Clones and 4 Cycles. 55 drivers made it into the ranking system with the correct number of races making the battle for the top 10 competitive.

Ranking 1st in 2011 is Rotax Driver TJ Fischer. Fischer had 7 double points races and 1 single points races. Out of the 8 races counted for Fischer, scored a total of 142 points and an average point score of 17.8 per event. Fischer, recently switched to RK Birel made chassis early season, had 1 wins, 3 top threes and 1 top fives this past season running only Prokart, Skusa Spring and Summer Nationals, Gatorz and selective Outlaw and Gold Rush events. In the previous years of the NorcalKarters.com driver rankings Fischer has showed massive improvements. In 2008, Fischer landed a depressing 23rd position in Jr 2. However in 2009 TJ made a substantial jump to 10th in his last year as a Jr 2 pilot.  In his Sr rookie season Fischer progressed to the 7th position leading up to 2011’s Sr  Number 1 ranked driver. Something about TJ that not a lot of people know about him not only is he a driver but he is dedicated full time to his HS football. This past football season TJ was the starting wide receiver for his section champion football team and looks to play for college ball. In the meantime of full time racing and football, TJ has managed to land a spot on a team in the Star Mazda Series for 2012. With a few test days TJ is looking forward to driving a formula Mazda as well as selective karting events in 2012.
