      • Unless he F's up, Vovan's got the win. I'm just hoping for second at this point.

          • I dunno, spaced ... Jonny has a 7 speed advantage at the moment, and I don't think he will lose that much speed in the sandtrap (maybe 3 or 4 total, I forget)... and a 2 max speed advantage, plus a 3 WC advantage.

            I think it will be close, between Jonny and Vovan ...

              It looks like he will lose 7 speed. But his WCs will certainly come in handy.

                and I will take a second to admit that there have been a couple times that I was ready to pack it in, but with a racer or two behind me I thought I might end out influencing their race one way or another if I quit so I stuck it out (and still am) though realistically I have been out of it for quite a while now.

                It brings up an interesting idea however. What about a Nascar Season? You get points for how you finish each race (Max for winning; less for each racer that sticks it out to the end of the race based upon their standing when the winner crosses the finish line. Zero points for not finishing the race).

                We could probably even go back and score for the other races.

                Any other thoughts?

                • Season ... each person hosts a race, plus some non-players, with their own course (and of course not competing in said race) ... 15 points for first, 12 for second, 9 for third, and 6->2 for 4th -> 8th, with 9th+ getting 1 point if the finish.

                  Hmm?

                      • Yes, it's a point series and he wants both 2nd and 3rd points.

                        Corrected.

                        And Snoop, I don't remember seeing VOVAN in you earlier winner predictions.

                              Snoopy sounds to be in favour of a season with points awarded, but as he has yet to play I can only hope to think that means he plans on signing up for the next race . Anyone else with any input on the subject?

                              • We've had trouble finding people who are willing to commit for the length of a single race, let alone an entire season. We need shorter races for that to work.
