RaceTime should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Series points

Just been going through the allocation of series points for the Konica Series and found something interesting.

AVESCO allocate points down to 32nd place - regardless of whether the car finishes or not - OK not too many problems as this is similar to US NASCAR style point scoring.

Except for cars that do not finish the first lap - like Simon Wills at Winton.

Based solely on race results he picked up 90 points for a win in race 1.

Race 2 he didn't complete a lap BUT AVESCO have awarded him 30 points - equivalent to 18th position.

Considering how many cars didn't finish lap 1, how can ANYONE decide he was in 18th position *at the control line*.

This could conceivably present an interesting situation towards the end of the season if Wills is leading the championship by less than 30 points.

Paul Dumbrell - your comment please?
