Gymkhana Driver - NRSCCA History

- (Solo Driver)

This trophy is presented to Nebraska Region's top Gymkhana (Solo) driver.

How the trophy is awarded:
The winner is decided by accumulation of points from designated events throughout the year, in addition to points awarded for finishing position at Divisional and National Championship events.

There are a designated number of events each year, determined by the Board of Governors, which count toward the earning of the Outstanding Gymkhana Driver Trophy.

The lowest score of the qualifying events is dropped, thus allowing a member to miss an event (or finish poorly due to mechanical problems) and not be out of the competition.

Solo (Gymkhana) Points

Each entrant is awarded points for finishing position in class as follows: 10 for first, 9 for second, 8 for third, etc. The event master is given 10 points, as he is not allowed to participate.

Points are also awarded for participation in the MiDiv Runoffs and the National Runoffs. Finishing position points are the same as for local events.

In addition to finishing position for the MiDiv and National Runoffs, the entrant is also given points for the number of competitors in class who finished below them.

There is a maximum of 10 "competitor" points, therefore, there is a maximum possible total of 20 points per event which can be earned from the Divisional and National events.
