Dse was the only one in the vendor class. That is odd.

I agree. very odd.
any company that owns a car, or someone who has pro driver drive should be in vendor/exhibition class.

What would detail a pro driver? There's some major talent driving some of these cars!

To clear the air guys and you are certainly hearing this from the horse's mouth, or maybe the jackass's mouth.
We should have had all vendors in a class by themselves, not just the sponsors.
Speedtech, TCI certainly should have been vendors since they sell suspension parts, period.
I take the blame for that and it won't happen again. It is tough trying to put different people in different classes. In Speedtech's case, Blake was the registered participant and Jay drove so the scoring shows Blake not Jay. It is a slippery slope when you start breaking down all the variables and that is why I HATE even keeping score. I do not want these event becoming so competitive that we lose sight of what they are intended to be about. At RTTHs I have always put EVERYONE in the same class. Run what you brung and hope you brung enough! I may go back to that at all future events, makes my life much easier for sure.

To clear the air, if you haven't already looked at the results on DSEs sight, Ryan was the fastest, Jay(listed as Blake) was second and Kyle came in third on the roadcourse. Either way, all three were very much in the hunt and the results show the true numbers, regardless of class which to me is the important numbers anyway.

And just so everyone knows, Kyle would have won the OUSCI invitation had everyone been in the same class, he certainly had the field covered.

So, without starting another firestorm here, these are the facts as I saw them.

i had fun meeting a lot of you guys and i hope to have my ride done next year. theres not many places you go where everyone is so cool to each other.

i can tell you first hand that gregs job was very difficult. with two cars on the track at a time it took some team work and concentration to keep it all straight. couple that with the friggin wind and other distractions and it still amazes me that it all went smoothly.

Was Brian Hobaugh's vette disqualified for something? Seems like he should have finished 1st or 2nd overall?

I had a blast just watching the event.

I'm sure Bill or someone will post exactly how the events were scored and totaled for the overall results, but Brian did not get the points for the Friday cruise so that could've been a factor.

He didn't do the Friday cruise.. so he lost 3 points.. which cost him the oveall title by 1 point.

At least that's my understanding.. that Vette is crazy fast, no wonder it wins so much in SCCA.

Steve, do you know how the scoring of the 3 racing events were setup?

[Vegas69]

My understanding was it is based on the OUSCI point structure. Using that spreadsheet gives me more points than Finch so I'm assuming Bill had his own values?
