The PDF rulebook version can be found at: http://www.hrkc.com/rules

6.1 Points

6.1.1 Points are awarded based on the HRKC point structure.
6.1.2 For determination of year end awards, two points-events are dropped. Rain outs/ Non-Events cannot be used as a dropped event, See Section 3.8 for examples.
6.1.3 Competitor must be an HRKC member at the time of the race to receive points.
6.1.4 The Kid Karts, Novice and Amateur classes are participation-only classes – no points are awarded.
6.1.5 If a junior competitor moves to a higher class (See HRKC Section 1.10) during the racing season, any points earned in the former class are not be carried to the new class. However, the competitor will be awarded last place points for any events missed in the new class before the advancement for each prior race they participated in. This rule provides the competitor an opportunity to participate in year end points awards for the new class. Reference HRKC Section 2.2.4 for year-end awards.
6.1.6 Competitors receiving a black flag for unsportsmanlike conduct are deemed to have forfeited the event via the witnessed conduct and receive no points for the race and the race event is considered non-droppable.
6.1.7 Competitors who are black flagged (or “parked”) for reasons other than unsportsmanlike conduct shall receive last place points for the race and the race day may be used as one of the competitors two allowed dropped races.
6.1.8 If a competitor is unable to make the grid for the Feature Race but has taken the green flag for the Heat Race they may receive last place points for that event at the discretion of the Race Director.
6.1.9 When Heat Race results are used for awarding Feature Race points, as is the case when Feature Races are not run due to weather etc., the additional single point for winning the Heat Race shall not be awarded.
