determined by the total points earned in the two qualifying heats. Points

are awarded for each qualifying heat as follows; 1 for first, 2 for second,

3 for third, etc.. The lowest total will start the main on pole, etc..

Where a tie exists the driver with the lowest points in any one heat will

take the position and if a tie still exists then the driver with the lower

points in the second heat will take the position.
