Before my "joke" of a system gets put down any further, please let me explain a few things.
First, thanks Sprinter25, you are correct. My system is based off of nothing more than starts and finishes. There are no "multipliers" for car count, sanction, or "degree of difficulty". In my eyes, please remember, this comes from a guy who pretends to be a sometimes car owner, it was as hard to try to win Paragon two weeks ago as it was to try to win an All Star race this winter in Florida....trust me, I tried both, and failed miserably at both.
With that being said, Arin McIntosh received the same amount of points for winning last week as Donny Schatz did for winning at Eldora. Ironically, Danny Smith received the same number of points for winning at Moler against 13 other cars.
I have one spreadsheet, that contains two completely different Top 15 lists. The first is the points, that most apparently do not like. The second list is average points per start. I'm sure as Indiana fans, most of you will like the second list better, and in my eyes, it paints a more complete picture.
Finally, let me say this. I decided to keep track of all this nonsense this year as a way to stay attached to racing, since my budget doesn't allow me to attend many races anymore. Bruce from CMP Video enjoyed the information and asked it he could post it. There is absolutely no prizes or awards handed out at the end of year, so relax people...if you don't like how the points add up, use it for research only, or toilet paper or whatever. Believe it or not, you even have the option of not looking at it. I just thought calling it a joke was kinda harsh. It is ,afterall, it is nothing but facts...not my twisted attempt to please Rahmer. Hell, I don't even like the guy.
