Well, it’s taken us into the Fall, but we’re one round away from completing this incredibly competitive series.
Here are the points standings after four rounds:
| Place | Name | Laps | Points | Total Time |
| 1 | George Peters | 764 | 349 | 5127.071 |
| 2 | Aaron Castro | 651 | 289 | 3974.74 |
| 3 | Jerry Pearson* | 576 | 231 | 4063.124 |
| 4 | Jordan Walker | 302 | 133 | 2894.16 |
| 5 | Eric Lane* | 296 | 104 | 2939.946 |
| 6 | Kevin Webster | 174 | 89 | 996.869 |
| 7 | Steve Stewart | 793 | 403 | 5113.704 |
* Sportsman Driver
Remember, the rules are such that each driver is scored on their four best appearances, which means that if you missed a round, you’re not necessarily out of the hunt for the series win.
It’s a bit of work for the Race Director, but we’re taking the best points from the four best race results for each driver to calculate the series winner. And, yes, Sportsman and Experts are scored separately. There is a Sportsman series winner, an Expert series winner, and, of course, a Junior winner. Oh, and remember, Home Cook’n doesn’t get awards or trophies. If you somehow come in second to him, you’ve still won the series!
With our new racing format, you don’t earn points unless you make the main (Feature) event. So, if you don’t see your name above, you either missed the first couple of rounds or didn’t make the main in subsequent rounds. Junior driver points will be picked separately by combining Qualifier race and Last Chance Qualifier race points for up to four rounds attended.
The final round will be on the SR3 oval course. We’ll run our latest race format but longer segments since we’re on the oval. We’ll also run fuel allocation for the Last Chance Qualifier race and the Feature event. I think the LCQ race will have 30-lap segments, and the feature race will have 45-lap segments. Fuel allocation will be announced on race day.
The weather is expected to be ideal, so leave your expensive cooled driver suits at home. We’ll only need two marshals for each race event, but please invite guests to drive, marshal, or be the Race Director.
Stay tuned for more details, the invite, and the schedule. I think we’ll run MegaG+ “Lites” at 20V. Comments and suggestions are welcome, of course.
