Championship Finale

[Ian]

So I'm looking for your feedback...I am a little undecided on how to wrap this championship up so please vote and chime in if you have a suggestion. And no," let's just race and not worry about it" is not an option for this season...lol
Thanks guys , looking forward to your input.

Option A

A win gets you a shot at the Spazcar Cup in the final race. It also makes you an automatic so therefore, the 4 spots that are left are filled by points order at the end of these next 2 races ( 1 is in the books already) So therefore , potentially 7 minimum drivers all have a shot at being the series champ. Bonus win points going in, normal 1 bonus for the following...Pole, Most laps, Lead a Lap, Most Overtakes, Best overall Finish or bad luck award (depending on stats) So it would be a normal points race, with all points tallied at end of night to determine the winner.

Option B

Nascars actual procedure

We forgo the wins as an automatic entry and only 4 drivers out the 8 that are currently eligible, move on to the final race with a chance at the series Cup. So it's based on the 3 race total of this Eliminator round. (This will be how Nascar is doing it). Clean slate at final, same points outline as Option A to determine the winner , except no prior win point bonus, but 1 more bonus point for winning the final race ( 43+1 instead of just 43).

Option C

Wins take up slots, so 1 only person can advance out the remaining 5 or less if there is a different winner then what we have now. Bonus win points at start of final race accumulated in this round of 3 races, normal points throughout the final event.


One thing I did forget to mention at the drivers meeting.

All Jeff has to do is start Homestead. At that point, he is the Spazcar Champion. He has won the Truck Series by 49 points over me and won the NW series by 77 points over me. There is no way anyone can beat him. He received 1 point per series won so he is up 2-0 currently. He also won the non point IROC series to boot.

So what we are racing for is the Spazcar Cup (series) this round, not the overall Championship.

Please vote, I value your input.

I voted for option A. Any one of us can/might win the race but the championship is still decided by points. To me this makes sense. Quite often
in real nascar the winner is over shadowed at Homestead by the championship winner as they are not always the same person. It makes no sense for me to win the final race and be crowned champion..

PS. no matter what I will be back next season cuzz this is the most fun I can have with people I have never met..

[David M]

Man that's a tough decision between Options A and C because I could see really good arguments for both (Option B doesn't even make sense for NASCAR which is typical of Brian France but that's a whole nother argument).

Personally to me tho option C makes the most sense just because it dosnt really clash with what has happened in the chase so far which is my only issue with option A, because if you think about it if we end up with 7 or 8 guys in that final round what was the point of the other rounds or eliminations.

Plus it gives more meaning to this round to have those of us that havnt won in the chase yet to have a chance to battle it out for that last spot in final round.

Anyways that's just my 2 cents as Rob said no matter how points fall ill be here for homestead sharing laughs and having fun as well as next season :-)

After reading Davids post, I realized I should have voted for C not A. Dave is right, if you worked your butt off during the chase, it should come down to the final four in a points battle for the cup.
I know... That would leave the rest of us just running for fun and what points we can get, maybe even a win.
And that is all I need to run even if I don't make the Chase. It's still fun to try and win each race no matter where you are in the points, and that is why I'm here, to race and have fun.
Sure it would be nice to win the whole thing, But ultimately, that is not why I'm here, I'm here to have a good time, and I don't need to be in the final four to have fun trying to beat them on track.

[Ed D]

I am in agreement with David and Dan's rational for option C. I feel it is to late in the game to change things up in order to give more participants an opportunity at the Cup. It would not feel right if by some strange means I would happen to win the last race and therefore the Championship. My skill level at this point is not worthy but I truly enjoy the challenge every Tuesday night. That's why I show up. We have a great group of guys and I love the sport of auto racing and Spazcar.

[Jeff H.]

I voted option C.

If I read this corectly over half the usual drivers should stay away and let the 5 winners race. Please point out the error in this thinking if there is one. Personaly I don't give a crap what happens as I just want to race and whatever happens, happens. Already excited about tonights race and I am still at work...

You just race man, as if it was any other night. Go for the win.

[robbmc]

That is the plan Dan......lol

[Ian]

Everyone races as normal. There is no "hands off". We are there to race

[robbmc]

If anyone needs a draft partner, blocker, or outright wrecker for the rest of the season PM me with renumeration shedule. My prices are lower than Dan;s.

[Dan W.]

5% off any proposed rate Rob gives you.

[robbmc]

funny guy. At least there are a few of us here on the site.

[Ian]

Just a public service reminder...

All deals for that kind of conduct require a 75% cut to be forwarded to Spazcar.

Thank you.
