Contest for this weekend is closed

[Tim Northcutt]

Since qualifying was rained out, I took the fast speed and slow speed from the combined practice sessions yesterday to determine our results. Mutoh had the fastest practice lap, so I counted him for the fast qual lap driver.

Everyone but drewdawg picked Dixon on pole for 2 pts.

drewdawg was closest to the avg speed: 184.941 vs. drew's 184.162

No one had Mutoh as fast lap

Daisy was closest to he single lap speed: 184. 941 vs. Daisy''s 184.017

Are those results including this weekends qualifying results as I had 100 points after Texas & I still have only 116, even though I scored 28 this weekend...

If I'm wrong then I'm sorry! It's late & I could just be being stupid...

[Tim Northcutt]

You only scored 16 pts this weekend Alwaysfirst...12 on quals and only 4 in the race portion.

drew & peno both tied for the win with 19 pts each for the weekend.

no one really scored well in the race portion of the contest this weekend.

[Alwaysfirst]

Sorry! I did say it was late & that I might be being stupid!

[Tim Northcutt]

You aren't stupid...I just think that you confused the 16 pt. total for the weekend and misinterpreted it as 16 pts for the race portion of the scoring.

When I do the scoring, I give the quals results so everyone will know where they stand going into the race. The race results include the points from quals so that everyone can see how they did without doing a separte total for race portion of the contest, then another post that adds up the totals from each for the weekend.

I hope that makes sense to everyone.
