Starting Positions

In preparations for the upcoming pay-per-view: THE SCRAMBLE, last night’s episode of Monday Night Fuel took a very different feel as it forewent it’s usual one-on-one races to instead have qualifying sessions for each F-X racers participating in the feature-event.

As you know, THE SCRAMBLE taking place in 6 days time will be a unique event in that the feature-event of the racecard won’t be a one-on-one race for the Formula-X Crown, but rather a race with multiple racers.

As such, the starting positions of all the participants is of high importance and all F-X racers will be looking to capture that coveted 1st Position on the Starting Grid.

Last night on Fuel, we saw each F-X racer entered into the Scramble Race take to the track in individual fashion with an effort to achieve the best lap. At the end of the night, the racer with the best lap went on to take the 1st Position in the starting grid. (Turn to Pg 2 to see the starting grid line up.)

One of the bigger stories going into the PPV is what exactly the winner will receive as it was mentioned before that there was a points system in place.

“Look, the point system is something that we’ve been looking into for a while as a means to measure performance of a racer against their drawing power,” said Glen Jacobs. “However at this time, we are nowhere near figuring out how to execute that system. As such, we have decided for now that the points awarded for ranking in the Scramble feature-race will go towards booking spots in PPVs for racers who would otherwise have been playing reserve.”

While this might not sound lucrative on the surface, we know that it’s a great incentive for racers who had missed out on PPV races.
