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.
