Last eKartingNews.com Stock Moto Driver Rankings

eKartingNews.com released their latest Stock Moto Driver Rankings for 2012. Their National ranking system only evaluates Regional and National races so I am relying on points from my 2011 SWRC races. Race points are eligible in the ranking for one calendar year, but my last few races were good enough to keep me in the Top 40 in National Points. I'm currently ranked in the 38th position.

Final 2011 EKN Stock Moto Driver Ranking

I dropped back a few spots since the last ranking was published, but will finish the season 40th overall. There are 6 Texas shifter kart pilots ranked in the top 25 (incl. #5 and #9) and several more highly ranked drivers who raced in the Southwest Regional Cup. I still have lots to improve on for next season, but it definitely helps to have great competition in TX to motivate me to get faster. Given that 2011 was my first full season of regional-level karting and with the driving talent in TX, I'm pleased to finished the season in the top 40.

I moved up a couple spots to 34th in the latest EKN Stock Moto Driver Rankings that were published on September 26th...

This past weekend, I was racing against #5, 9, 10, 11, 21, 22, 25, and 33 on this list plus talented drivers like Nick Lucido and Mike Jones who have not run enough races this year to be near the top in the EKN ranking. It was a competitive field to say the least! Race report coming soon from the SWRC Finale at DKC.

EKN Stock Moto Driver Rankings

EKN Driver Rankings (4/15/2011 updated)

The first eKartingNews.com Driver Rankings of 2011 came out last week. 2011 will be the first year I am included in the rankings because I am running the Southwest Regional Cup. My points in this series will count for the EKN national ranking. The EKN ranking counts your best 6 National/Regional events (see below for more details), but I only have two events counting for me so far. Currently, I'm in 100th place in the Stock Moto class but hopefully I can climb the ranks this year as I get more events under my belt and continue to improve.


About the eKartingNews.com Driver Rankings:

EKN Driver Rankings Calculation Process
The EKN Driver Rankings are calculated using a driver’s best finishes in major North American races. Assembled using events from the previous 12 months from the current date, we use a driver’s best seven finishes in TaG and six in Stock Moto to determine their overall current point total. With each new release, results posted from more than one year ago are discarded. To deliver our ranking list, we tabulate the results of all the national programs and selected regional programs. We have included the results for the major one-off events such as the SKUSA SuperNationals, the US Rotax Max Challenge Grand Nationals, the Rock Island Grand Prix and the Streets of Lancaster Grand Prix.

Each race is initially weighted based on the prestige and history of the event or series with a score of ten (10) being the highest attainable base ranking. For 2011, the SKUSA SuperNationals and US Rotax Max Challenge Grand Nationals receive a score of 10 in their initial weighting in the TaG category while the SuperNats is the lone event in the Stock Moto division. The SKUSA Pro Tour and Rotax Pan American Challenge national series events draw a base ranking of nine (9), while the WKA Manufacturer’s Cup, Florida Winter Tour, Challenge of the Americas, IKF 2-Cycle Sprint Grand Nationals and other regional program races were given a base ranking of either eight (8) or nine (9).

The EKN staff reserves the right to adjust the rankings of each event throughout the year. Continuing for 2011 is a minimum entry total for any events considered for the Driver Rankings program. If an event does not have at least five (5) drivers starting the race, those results will not be tabulated toward the Driver Rankings.

Added to these initial rankings are two variables that help confirm the true importance of an event to the ranking process – field size and field strength. A percentage of one weighting point is added for the size of the field, while the number of existing top 50 drivers entered offers another full point or fraction of a point. The sum of these numbers becomes the overall ranking for any race. Following a race, drivers receive points based on their finishing positions with 100 points earned for a win. Each subsequent position drops by one point with 99 points given to the second place driver and so on throughout the field. These points are then multiplied by the overall ranking to produce a driver’s final point total from each event. Using a driver’s best seven races in TaG, six for Stock Moto, we calculate each driver’s overall score and subsequent ranking.
