Note 1: If classes do not grow to 3 or more entries within 4 races they may be dropped or combined with another class and scored separately.
Note 2: Classes may be added, deleted, combined, or changed during the year, as demand requires.

HRKC recommends that drivers move up to their respective classes after a max of 6 races in the Novice or Amateur divisions. Exceptions to this rule must be discussed and granted by the HRKC Race Committee.
