What would not be fair is to not count points for those who host races.  Why penalize someone who takes the time and effort to host a race? Some people are generous to host multiple races while others host none, so with this logic it would be better point wise to not host let alone doing it more than once.  The new rules will negate the issue to a certain extent in that the expert class are the only ones racing for points so the intermediate and novice classes are not affected by the host performing well.  If there are fewer points races next year as has been indicated, not receiving points at any race will be an even larger penalty. Besides most of the experts are more than capable of winning on any track on a given night.

Thank you Monte for the fact filled and enlightening post, it is much appreciated.

I'll second that!!!!

What he said times two.  I may even have a new nick name.

WOW, what a great night of racing and we didn't even make it to the BRM class.  Very close racing through out, sometimes a little too close Mr. Fisher! The Beast Vette has it's eyes on you :-).  Thank you Bill and Diane for the hospitality as always.

There is some evidence that the guy in that picture is the legendary Bob Braverman- journalist, motorcycle and drag racer, modeler and slot car  enthusiast.

They are pretty close to the originals to me

And it ran surprisingly well.

That's the only way he can keep up cuz he's old and retired or he could just cheat. Oh wait, that didn't work out so well either

What a fantastic night of racing!  Everybody is certainly bringing their "A" game and the racing is the better for it.  Thank you Bill for hosting these events and bringing us all together.  Once again, I'm sorry Goose for busting up the Chaparral, I feel really awful about it.  I just didn't feel the rider and it happened so fast.
Already looking forward to the next race.
