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?

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?

I have no idea how the points were added up. I also did not know you were required to participate in the cruise. I thought it was optional. I never saw that in the rules. Oh well.

Yea, that sucked.. and sorry that screwed you on points. But you're a racer, you know to ALWAYS read the rules.. lol

Anyways, your car was f'ing impressive and you can know that it was one of the baddest at the event.

Guys, I am making a quick pass thru the house so don't have time to post much. The rules this year were the same as last year, different point system than OUSCI. You can find the rules at PT or maybe even here from last year.

Brian would have still been one point short, by my calculations had he made the cruise so that is really a non issue.

Trust me, there were so many numbers to crunch in a short period of time and everyone is standing over your shoulders while you are doing it. Now, with time to sort everything without pressure, there may be differences, I hope not but that is always possible.
Also, when you shift people to vendor, media, professional driver, and the list goes on, you can come up with several different ways the results shake out. This is hard to do guys and keep it fair. I have quit trying to make everyone happy, just trying to keep it fair.

Bill,

I had a great time meeting a bunch of guys I had only comunicated with via internet. Saw the best cars around and got all the track time I could ever want. Great job and look forward to doing it again.

Brian

Sorry Bill.. I thought you announced at the event that BH lost to BF by one point because BH didn't get three for the cruise..

My bad..

Anyways, fun event and I'm so glad the weather worked out for us.. goo times.
