WEEKLY RACE FORMAT

The race format will vary from week to week. Each week’s format and race details will be posted in the HQ Discord as soon as possible, so racers should check Discord ahead of each league night.

WEIGHT REQUIREMENTS

All racers must meet a minimum weight of 210 lbs. Our karts can accommodate up to 66 lbs. of added kart weight. If you are still below 210 lbs. after using the available kart weight, you are responsible for providing the additional weight needed, such as a weighted vest or ankle weights.
✓

POINTS & TWO DROP RACES

Points are awarded each week and tracked throughout the league. Every racer receives two drop races for the season. At the end of the league, your two lowest-scoring races are removed from your overall total. Missed league nights can serve as your drops, effectively giving you two bye weeks. If you race every week, your two lowest point results are dropped instead. Your remaining points determine your final championship position.

RACE ON THE GLOBAL STAGE

League racers can also earn SWS points through the Sodi World Series and compete for a place on the global leaderboards. You must have a free SWS account to earn points.
