Q
Qualifier-- When you attend an Rc car race, you will normally have two or three qualification
races, then you will race in your Main Event. The way racers are sorted varies between
different events, but usually you will have your best qualifying time determine what
Main you will race in (some racing organizations use FTD, or Fastest Time of the
Day, to determine qualifying order). The qualifying time refers to the number of
laps you are able to complete during the qualifying race (each qualifier is normally
4 or 5 minutes). If you tie with someone else who has the same number of laps, the
lowest elapsed time will win. See the entry for Main Event to see how the rest of
a race event is run.
