Team Associated's Rich Hohwart posted this statement:
...we have decided to combine the Modified and Invitational class drivers and utilize the “World Cup” qualifying/racing format. Many of you may not be familiar with this format so I will explain how it works.
For example, there are currently 41 drivers in Mod and Invite. We will set heats like a normal event and run 4-rounds of IFMAR qualifying on Saturday. Using qual points, we will take the best 2 of 4 points combined to determine the 21 drivers who will move on to Sunday’s Invitational heats, which will consist of three seven car heats running four rounds. Like always, the lowest point total from these 21 drivers will determine the 2009 Invitational champion. The remaining 20 (or more) drivers will be sorted into mains on Sunday with a triple A-main to determine the Modified class winner. The B-main drivers will race twice with the best combined finishing points determining the winner. If there is a C-main, That will run twice as well. (From RCTech.net)

It's going to be an unusual, but hopefully competitive and exciting weekend nonetheless. We commend the Race Promoters and Organizers for the quick and improvised solution.
