Ashby won his class in each of the heats (27 pts) and received 5 bonus points for his overall placing in each heat. Longhurst received 6 bonus points for his overall placings, but only won his class in two of the heats (24 pts), so Ashby beat him to the overall win by two points, 32 to 30.
Was a final pointscore for the 1987 AMSCAR Series ever printed? I don't have any of the relevant RCN's or AA's from that year to check, and AMRY ignores the '87 AMSCAR Series (and the non-WTCC enduro's too...). Jim Richards won it of course, but beyond him?

One assumes the AMSCAR points awarded for the round that doubled as the ATCC round, and the Hardie Irrigation 100, were awarded on the same format as the above?
