Who is interested in meeting up to carpool up to Hershey?

Jon your scoring system is flawed and very inconsistent, in my opinion.

So for example:

Nick only attends 2 events in the season, take first place both times where 12 Drivers attended= 120 point.

Mr. V attends 4 events and takes first place every single time, where only 4 drivers attended = 80 point total

Then according to your scoring Nick is the overall point winner with two wins less than V.

A fist place is a first place, regardless of how many drivers attended it should be valued or scored the same every single event!



Could you please explain your mathematics here,... or lack of,...:?

This is something I grappled with as well... You're correct that if you take first place when only a few people show up it's not worth as many points as when a lot of people do show up. But wouldn't you agree that it's much easier to beat 3 or 4 people than it is to beat 10 or 12?

Regarding your hypothetical scenario about Trevor vs Nick, I think once we get into the thick of the season, you will see that those who simply show up to events will have a large advantage over those who just pick one or two big ones. The Hershey event #1 was a fluke- it was cold and miserable and the weather forcast was terrible. We will get more people to come than that.

Hopefully as a side benifit, this will encourage the front runners to bring more people to the events as well, so that when they win it is worth more points :-)
