Format for Events
The field will be divided into two groups of 16 cars seeded on past results at Archerfield at the organisers discression. Group 1 will be the more successful and experienced group , Group 2 will be the remaining drivers entered.
To get a top 32 battle tree for the competition each group will randomly draw a number from 1 through to 16 and that will be their first battle. So who draws number one in Group 1 will battle who draws Number 1 in Group 2 and so on down to 16. The reason for this is we do not have the time to Qualify drivers at each round. By splitting the groups for the Top 32 we are achieving a more realistic battle tree whereas the top qualifier usually gets the bottom qualifier in the first round.
Cars will be on track for an hours practice at the start of the event, this will be followed by a driver's parade and then straight into the battle rounds. As always we will run approx 1hour at the end of the night as an expression session for some fun. There will be no compulsory passenger rides at the end of the night, we will arrange this with drivers who are happy to do them on the night. You will be able to take out passengers in the expression session.

Entries for the Series
If you would like to enter the series go to the Archerfield page on the Option1Garage web site and fill in the pre enter form. Your entry will not be confirmed until payment as follows. The organisers have the right to not accept an entry and refund the fee at their discression.
$250 with your nomination, $250 to pay by the 15th October before the 3rd round
$500 up front payment if you take this option we will randomly draw one entry at the first round who has paid in full to get $100 back in cash on the day!
As a condition of entry you must purchase from us numbers for the car - one each side on the rear windows and one LH side of the windscreen with your surname to go on the windscreen below the number. Look at any DA entry to see what we are trying to do. We will also have 2 Supercheap Auto stickers to go on the vehicle at our discression . All of these will be fitted by the organisers at the first round and must be present on the vehicle at every round following. If removed you will have to purchase more. Cost will be kept to a minimum and charged at our cost price so that no profit is added on.
There will be no exceptions - If you have not paid or the numbers/stickers are not there you don't run!
So get your entries in and let make this huge for Supercheap Auto
This is a good chance to ask any questions you may have regarding the series and we will also be doing sign ups on the day!
Will definately be worth the watch
