Tap Points w/ drops or Total all rounds to re-sort. Six race dates with your best five counting, scored exactly like Winning Wednesday — the drop comes in one result at a time as the season goes, matching the track’s own standings sheet, and right now that is one result coming off — the full allowance for the season. The Dropped column shows what it costs each driver. A dot is a round the class did not run; a dash is a round the driver missed.

Seeding comes from the qualifying run, not from one fast lap: most laps wins, and on equal laps the quicker time wins. Every figure in a row describes that one run — the driver’s best completed qualifier — rather than their best lap from one heat and their best average from another. Heats are not raced against each other, so a heat win is not a class result.

Each main is listed as its own race, from first, so the C, the B and the A each read the way they finished. The quickest lap of the round is highlighted. Overall is where that finish put a driver across the whole class, which is what the championship scores off. Lower mains run first and the top two bump up a main at a time, so a driver who moved up is listed twice — in the race he won his way out of, and in the one he went on to run. His overall position and his points sit on the higher of the two, because that is the finish that counted.

    A-main P1 · qualified P2 · qual best lap 15.009 · 92.65% qual cons · 19 laps · fast 15.501 · 94.28% cons

    Only one car in the building qualified quicker on outright pace, and Hendrick Westmoreland's 14.873 to Gage's 15.009 turned out to be worth exactly nothing once the A-main lights went green. Nineteen laps in 5:11.046 with a 16.384 average and 94.28% consistency is the profile of a man who never gave the timing loop anything to gossip about. He'd already put 19 laps on the board winning Q3H2, so the speed was banked long before the race that counted.

    C4 96 pts
    A-main P2 · qualified P7 · qual best lap 15.462 · 90.39% qual cons · 18 laps · fast 15.506 · 91.34% cons

    Charlie Kleinhagen, C4 on the timing sheet, qualified fifth on pace at 15.462 and then found seven tenths of average lap time when it mattered - 17.344 in the qualifiers, 16.657 in the A. Consistency climbed too, 90.39% to 91.34%, which is the boring, profitable way to move up the order. Eighteen laps and a 15.506 best, five thousandths off the winner's fastest, from a driver who has been putting laps in at HobbyPlex as well.

  3. 3rd
    Mathew Schroeder 94 pts
    A-main P3 · qualified P5 · qual best lap 15.390 · 78.74% qual cons · 18 laps · fast 15.781 · 70.73% cons

    Something happened out there and the numbers refuse to say what. Fourth on qualifying pace with a 15.390 and 86.44% consistency, he came out of the A-main with the same 18 laps as the car ahead of him but a 19.139 average and 70.73% consistency, comfortably the scrappiest run of anyone on the podium. Winning Q2H2 with 18 laps proved the car was hooked up; the main suggests he spent a good chunk of it pointing the wrong way and still salvaged 94 points, and a driver who also races HobbyPlex clearly knows how to bank a result from a messy night.

  4. 4th
    Wayne Schroeder 92 pts
    A-main P4 · qualified P3 · qual best lap 15.262 · 94.45% qual cons · 18 laps · fast 15.373 · 85.06% cons

    Third quickest across qualifying at 15.262 with a tidy 94.45%, capped by a 19-lap Q2 win in the first heat, and then he threw down the second-fastest lap of the A-main at 15.373. The consistency is where the afternoon leaked away: 94.45% in the qualifiers became 85.06% in the main, and an average lap a full second slower. Same lap count as the two cars ahead, just a fraction over a second adrift on the clock.

  5. 5th
    Hendrick Westmoreland 90 pts
    A-main P5 · qualified P1 · qual best lap 15.123 · 95.31% qual cons · 17 laps · fast 15.484 · 88.92% cons

    Nobody else broke into the 14s in qualifying. A 14.873, a 15.819 average and 95.31% consistency made him the fastest thing in the building on pace, with heat results of P1, P2 and P2 to match. Then the A-main handed him 17 laps, a 17.831 average and 88.92%, two laps down on the winner and four places light of where the stopwatch said he belonged. The 15.484 best in the main says the car still had it; the two-second swing in average lap says he wasn't getting to use it.

  6. 6th
    Vaughn Vance 88 pts
    A-main P6 · qualified P6 · qual best lap 15.971 · 95.63% qual cons · 17 laps · fast 14.982 · 80.28% cons

    Here is the lap of the night and it belongs to a car that finished sixth: 14.982 in the A-main, quicker than any other lap turned in the mains and six tenths better than his own 15.579 qualifying best. Close enough to the rest of the field to be a real lap rather than a transponder having a moment, and far enough from the rest of his own run to be maddening, because an 18.236 average and 80.28% consistency means one gorgeous lap and a lot of scenery. He'd won Q1H2 with 18 laps, so the pace was never in doubt.

  7. 7th
    Chris Camara 86 ptsbumped up
    A-main P7 · qualified P8 · qual best lap 15.800 · 92.12% qual cons · 16 laps · fast 16.166 · 83.28% cons

    Eighth on qualifying pace at 15.800, and the 15-lap qualifiers were doing him no favours until Q3, where 17 laps and P2 in the heat showed the car coming to him. Sixteen laps in the A with a 16.166 best and 83.28% consistency is a solid, unspectacular afternoon at the back of the A-main. That is the sort of thing that quietly turns into 86 points.

  8. 8th
    Henry Ballew 84 ptsbumped up
    A-main P8 · qualified P9 · qual best lap 16.400 · 84.38% qual cons · 15 laps · fast 16.950 · 86.94% cons

    Qualifying was a steady climb, 14 laps then 15 then 16 and P3 in Q3, even if the 16.400 best only put him ninth on pace. Fifteen laps in the A with a 16.950 fastest and 86.94% consistency, though the 20.482 average is most of a second slower than the 19.625 he had been running in the heats. He finishes the day inside the A-main on a night when 12 cars showed up.

  9. 9th
    Jagger Vance 82 pts
    B-main P3 · qualified P12 · qual best lap 19.207 · 87.01% qual cons · 17 laps · fast 16.358 · 78.16% cons

    Two of his three qualifying runs were three laps long, which is the most misleading thing on his sheet, because three laps of arithmetic will tell you anything you want to hear. What's real is 17 laps in the B, three more than he managed in his only complete qualifier, with a 16.358 best that beats his 16.792 qualifying pace. The 78.16% consistency is what a genuinely busy run looks like, and it still got him into the overall top nine.

  10. 10th
    Albert Bredernitz 80 pts
    B-main P4 · qualified P10 · qual best lap 18.896 · 92.79% qual cons · 15 laps · fast 18.167 · 90.92% cons

    Slowest on pace of the 12 cars that turned a qualifying lap at 18.799, so there was nowhere to go but forward, and forward he went: 18.167 in the B is six tenths quicker than anything he found in qualifying. Fifteen laps at 90.92% consistency is metronomic by the standards of the back half of this class. Nothing dramatic, no mistakes, 80 points in the bank.

  11. 11th
    Russell Rima 78 pts
    B-main P5 · qualified P11 · qual best lap 18.313 · 88.45% qual cons · 14 laps · fast 18.166 · 90.67% cons

    Fourteen laps in the B is exactly what he did in all three qualifiers, which is either admirable repeatability or a car that has found its ceiling. Consistency jumped from 88.45% in the heats to 90.67% in the main and the 21.395 average is a shade better than his qualifying 21.482, so the trend is the right way even if the clock isn't. He's on the board with 78 points and a full set of completed runs, which not everyone can say.

  12. 12th
    William Schroeder 76 pts
    ranked on qualifying · qualified P4 · qual best lap 15.582 · 96.46% qual cons

    A 96.46% consistency figure was the best produced by anybody here who ran three qualifiers to full distance, and it arrived with 19-lap runs in Q1 and Q3H2 and a 15.466 best that put him sixth on pace. The combined order then places him at the very bottom of it with no main-event figures recorded against his name at all, which is a long way from where three tidy qualifiers had him pointed. Seventy-six points is the smallest score anybody banked on the night, and it is exactly the sort of round that becomes a candidate for the drop the moment the series' single discard arrives at Round 3.

This list runs in overall order rather than by main — the A-main, then the B, then the C, as one continuous run — and a driver who bumped up appears once in it, at the better of his two finishes. The table above has each main as its own race.

Championship after Round 1

Twelve cars opened the Sizzling Summer account and Paxton Gage walked out with the maximum 100, having been beaten on outright qualifying pace by exactly one man and by nobody at all when it counted. Hendrick Westmoreland was that man, with the only 14-second lap of the qualifiers, 95.31% consistency and a fifth place the stopwatch will be arguing about for a while. Charlie Kleinhagen took 96 for second in the car the sheet lists as C4, Mathew Schroeder dragged a 70.73%-consistency run to third, and Vaughn Vance owns the quickest lap of the mains at 14.982 from sixth. With one of six dates done, everybody sits on a single start and a single score, so the table is simply the finishing order. This series has one drop and it does not arrive until Round 3, so nothing is being discarded yet.

Through Round 1 the drop rule has nothing to take away yet, so both columns match.

    A-main P1 · qualified P1 · qual best lap 14.541 · 94.71% qual cons · 19 laps · fast 14.886 · 92.73% cons

    A weekend with no loose ends: P1 in all three qualifiers, twenty laps in two of them, a 14.541 best that nobody else came near and a 15.389 average the better part of half a second a lap clear of the field. The A-main was the formality it looked like, 19 laps at a 14.886 fastest and 92.73% consistency, job filed. This is what dialed looks like when it lasts all day rather than for one heat.

    Sixteen laps and P4 in Q1 was the only blemish; after that it was 19 laps twice and a 14.787 best that made him the second man into the 14s. In the main he ran a 14.921 fastest and a 16.456 average and still couldn't take a lap back off the winner. Second on pace, second on the day, and a 91.83% consistency that never gave anything back.

    A-main P3 · qualified P3 · qual best lap 15.265 · 90.00% qual cons · 18 laps · fast 15.220 · 90.71% cons

    Consider what he did this with: a Q2 that lasted four laps and a Q3 that stopped at 14 in 3:41, and he still ranked third in the building on pace at 15.057 with a 15.826 average. The A-main was his cleanest run of the series so far, 18 laps at a 16.710 average and 90.71% consistency, and less than a second behind the car ahead of him at the flag. Two truncated qualifiers and he never looked out of place at the front.

    A-main P4 · qualified P5 · qual best lap 15.852 · 87.74% qual cons · 18 laps · fast 15.499 · 88.54% cons

    Ten laps in Q1H2 is not how anyone plans to start a meeting, and winning Q2H2 with 18 is a decent way to answer it. Fourth on pace at 15.567 became fourth in the A with 18 laps and a 15.499 best, one of only four cars to get the full distance done. Consistency slid from 88.90% to 88.54%, which is to say it didn't move at all; the car did exactly what it had done all day.

    A-main P5 · qualified P6 · qual best lap 15.698 · 88.76% qual cons · 17 laps · fast 16.122 · 89.77% cons

    C4 ran the whole meeting in the first heat and ranked fifth on pace at 15.698, though an 18.316 average with 88.76% consistency hinted the run wasn't as smooth as the single lap suggested. The A-main tidied the scatter up a little, 89.77% consistency against 88.76%, but the average sat still at 18.330 and the fastest lap went the wrong way, 16.122 against a 15.698 in the heats. Seventeen laps and 90 points for a driver who keeps quietly collecting them.

    A-main P6 · qualified P4 · qual best lap 16.257 · 94.84% qual cons · 17 laps · fast 16.268 · 86.79% cons

    Two heat wins on the day, Q1H2 and Q3H2 with 17 and 18 laps, and the reminder from the top of the page applies: the heats are not seeded against each other, so what that buys him is a good afternoon rather than a trophy. His 94.84% qualifying consistency was the best in the class, a shade ahead of William Schroeder's 94.71%, and it thinned to 86.79% in the A while the lap count held at 17. Sixth overall and, more usefully, present again.

    A-main P7 · qualified P7 · qual best lap 16.988 · 92.42% qual cons · 14 laps · fast 17.626 · 87.01% cons

    Three completed qualifiers, 16 laps twice and a 16.988 best; the qualifying average came down from April's 19.625 to 19.108 with consistency up at 92.42%, and the sheet had him seventh on the day. Then the main went sideways: 14 laps, a 17.626 fastest that's six tenths off his own qualifying pace, and a 21.645 average against 19.108 in the heats. Points collected, evening survived, nothing to frame.

    A-main P8 · qualified P8 · qual best lap 17.810 · 84.63% qual cons · 13 laps · fast 18.893 · 81.87% cons

    The pace has genuinely moved, because 17.505 here against 18.799 in April is the better part of one and three tenths off his own best, and all three qualifiers ran to distance. The A-main was the hard part: 13 laps, a 23.507 average and consistency down to 81.87%, the worst of anybody in the race. Still, he made the A on a night when the A was the only race, and 84 points is 84 points.

  9. 9th
    Mathew Schroeder 82 pts
    ranked on qualifying · qualified P9

    He does not appear on the qualifying sheet at all, and the result line offers 82 points and then stops - no laps, no times, no consistency, nothing to take a view on. The championship arithmetic is a good deal kinder than that reads: stacked on April's 94 it puts him on 176 from two starts and third in the table, 10 behind C4's leading 186. That is level on points with the man who won this one, which is a fair summary of how little separates the top half of this class after two rounds.

This list runs in overall order rather than by main — the A-main, then the B, then the C, as one continuous run — and a driver who bumped up appears once in it, at the better of his two finishes. The table above has each main as its own race.

Championship after Round 2

A smaller field of nine and a first win for William Schroeder, who led every qualifier, set a 14.541 nobody approached and then made the A-main look administrative. The championship, though, belongs to attendance: C4 leads on 186 from two starts with Hendrick Westmoreland two points behind on 184, and neither of them has won a round. Behind them Mathew Schroeder and William Schroeder are locked together on 176, then Chris Camara on 174, Henry Ballew on 170 and Albert Bredernitz on 164, all two-start racers cashing mid-pack finishes into a healthy total. Paxton Gage sits eighth on 100 from his single outing, which is the cruel arithmetic of a series where showing up has been worth 76 points on the worst night anybody has had. Four dates still to run, and the one drop this series allows does not arrive until Round 3.

Through Round 2 the drop rule has nothing to take away yet, so both columns match.

Seeding comes from the qualifying run, not from one fast lap: most laps wins, and on equal laps the quicker time wins. Every figure in a row describes that one run — the driver’s best completed qualifier — rather than their best lap from one heat and their best average from another. Heats are not raced against each other, so a heat win is not a class result.

Each main is listed as its own race, from first, so the C, the B and the A each read the way they finished. The quickest lap of the round is highlighted. Overall is where that finish put a driver across the whole class, which is what the championship scores off. A consistency figure needs at least four laps to mean anything, so a run cut shorter than that shows none.

  1. 1st
    William Schroeder 100 pts
    A-main P1 · qualified P1 · qual best lap 14.693 · 93.69% qual cons · 19 laps · fast 14.712 · 91.93% cons

    Seven laps in Q1H2 and then the hammer: two twenty-lap runs, a 14.693 best, a 15.434 average and 97.01% consistency, which is about as close to on rails as this timing system gets. The A-main was tighter than any of that implied, 19 laps in 5:00.818 with four seconds in hand and consistency dropping to 91.93% under actual pressure. Back-to-back wins, and Martinez has now been the man behind him on both of them.

  2. 2nd
    Orlando Martinez 96 pts
    A-main P2 · qualified P2 · qual best lap 15.077 · 92.14% qual cons · 19 laps · fast 14.765 · 93.52% cons

    Swept his heat in all three qualifiers, P1, P1 and P1, and it earned him exactly second place, because a heat win is not a class win and William Schroeder was in the other one going quicker. On raw pace it was 14.979 to 14.693, and in the A he matched the winner's 19 laps with an average within three thousandths of his own qualifying figure and 93.52% consistency. Four and a third seconds over 19 laps is not a beating, it's a nuisance.

  3. 3rd
    Hendrick Westmoreland 94 pts
    A-main P3 · qualified P3 · qual best lap 15.821 · 95.81% qual cons · 18 laps · fast 15.231 · 91.39% cons

    A 95.81% qualifying consistency and a 16.342 average say the car was beautifully behaved; a 15.642 best only fifth on pace says it wasn't quite quick enough, and a Q3H2 that stopped at 12 laps didn't help the argument. He converted anyway, 18 laps at a 15.231 fastest and 91.39% consistency, third for the second meeting running. Two P3s and a P5 from three starts is the definition of banking it.

  4. 4th
    Chris Camara 92 pts
    A-main P4 · qualified P6 · qual best lap 16.421 · 93.20% qual cons · 17 laps · fast 16.352 · 92.32% cons

    Eighth on qualifying pace at 16.421, two thousandths behind Ballew and nearly two seconds off the top, and he came home fourth. That is the good story, and the supporting number is a 92.32% consistency in the main that beat the race winner's own 91.93%. He also won the Q3H2 heat with 17 laps, which is worth precisely as much as it sounds and no more.

  5. 5th
    Mark Beach 90 pts
    A-main P5 · qualified P4 · qual best lap 16.043 · 93.18% qual cons · 17 laps · fast 16.504 · 93.89% cons

    Sixth on pace with a 16.043 and three completed qualifiers, all of them P2 or P3 in the first heat, and then he produced the most metronomic full-distance run in the A-main at 93.89% consistency, higher than the winner's. Seventeen laps and a 16.504 fastest means the smoothness was real but the outright speed wasn't there to use it. Ninety points and a second straight top five.

  6. 6th
    Henry Ballew 88 pts
    A-main P6 · qualified P7 · qual best lap 16.575 · 88.24% qual cons · 15 laps · fast 17.424 · 76.08% cons

    Qualifying was his usual steady climb, 13 laps then 16 then 16, with a 16.419 best that put him seventh on pace and ahead of Camara by two thousandths. The main unwound: 15 laps, a 20.960 average and consistency collapsing from 88.24% to 76.08%, the lowest figure in the race by a distance. Eighty-eight points from a run that clearly cost him more effort than it should have.

  7. 7th
    Albert Bredernitz 86 pts
    A-main P7 · qualified P9 · qual best lap 18.504 · 89.74% qual cons · 7 laps · fast 19.281 · 89.96% cons

    Three qualifiers, all of them completed, 14 and 15 and 15 laps with a steady 89.93%; the man does his homework. The A-main stopped him at seven laps in 2:39.784, barely a third of the distance, and a 19.281 fastest that's nearly eight tenths off his qualifying best suggests the car was unhappy before it was finished. He still scores 86, which is the quiet mercy of a combined-order points system.

  8. 8th
    Russell Rima 84 pts
    A-main P8 · qualified P8 · qual best lap 17.458 · 86.60% qual cons · 3 laps · fast 27.813

    The qualifying pace was honest enough at 17.458 with 15 laps in Q3, so whatever happened in the A-main happened after the flag dropped. Three laps, a fastest of 27.813 that is ten and a third seconds off his own qualifying best, and a 29.448 average tell you he was nursing something round rather than racing. The 94.45% consistency off three laps is arithmetic, not driving; ignore it and take the 84 points.

  9. 9th
    Mathew Schroeder 82 pts
    ranked on qualifying · qualified P5 · qual best lap 15.599 · 88.66% qual cons

    Fourth on the pace sheet at 15.552 with 90.08% consistency and an 18-lap Q2 that was second in his heat, so the ingredients were all sitting there when the qualifiers finished. What the combined order records instead is 82 points and an empty lap column, second from last of the ten. Three starts leave him on 258 and seventh in the table, 20 points shy of the biggest total on it, which is close enough that a round with figures attached would have reshaped the whole thing.

  10. 10th
    Wayne Schroeder 80 pts
    ranked on qualifying · qualified P10 · qual best lap 15.449 · 90.33% qual cons

    The 15.449 that put him third quickest in the building came out of a Q1H2 run lasting 13 laps and 3:40.390 - and that run was the entirety of his qualifying, because Q2H2 and Q3H2 both returned no time. The results sheet then has him last of the ten on 80 points with nothing in the lap column, a harsh conversion rate for third on pace. It leaves him on 172 from two starts and ninth in the championship, and the one consolation is that the speed did show up on the single occasion the timing gear got a look at it.

This list runs in overall order rather than by main — the A-main, then the B, then the C, as one continuous run — and a driver who bumped up appears once in it, at the better of his two finishes. The table above has each main as its own race.

Championship after Round 3

William Schroeder made it two from two, again beating Orlando Martinez after Martinez had swept his own heat in all three qualifiers, which counted for a great deal of satisfaction and no points at all. The drop arrives with this round - three run, best two counting - and it is what shapes the table: William Schroeder heads it on 276 from three starts, Orlando Martinez is second on 192 from two, and Hendrick Westmoreland's 278 from three starts leaves him third without having won a round. C4 is fourth on 186 and Mark Beach fifth on 182, both from two outings, while Chris Camara on 266, Mathew Schroeder and Henry Ballew on 258 apiece, Wayne Schroeder on 172 and Albert Bredernitz on 250 fill out the ten. Camara's fourth place here was his best of the year and Mark Beach's 93.89% was the cleanest full-distance drive of the A-main. Three of six dates run, and from now on one result comes off.

Seeding comes from the qualifying run, not from one fast lap: most laps wins, and on equal laps the quicker time wins. Every figure in a row describes that one run — the driver’s best completed qualifier — rather than their best lap from one heat and their best average from another. Heats are not raced against each other, so a heat win is not a class result.

    A debut in the class, and he simply took it: P1 in all three qualifiers, a 15.657 best, a 16.598 average and 95.36% consistency, the quickest car in a seven-strong field with no heat split to hide behind. Nineteen laps in the A-main, a lap clear of everyone, with the average creeping only as far as 16.950. Debut, top of the pace sheet, win; there is not a lot to add.

    A-main P2 · qualified P2 · qual best lap 16.233 · 94.61% qual cons · 18 laps · fast 16.156 · 92.46% cons

    Third on qualifying pace at 16.066 but with a 94.61% qualifying consistency bettered only by Rogers, which is exactly the profile that finishes ahead of quicker cars. Eighteen laps in the A, a 17.427 average that beat his own qualifying figure, and 92.46% consistency held under race conditions. A lap down to a man who was never going to be caught, and six seconds clear of the car behind.

    A-main P3 · qualified P5 · qual best lap 16.481 · 85.53% qual cons · 18 laps · fast 16.189 · 91.85% cons

    Beating cars that qualified quicker is becoming his signature move in this series, and he did it again from fourth on pace at 16.481. Eighteen laps with a 17.768 average, most of a second better than his 18.663 qualifying average, and consistency holding at 91.85%; the car got better as the day went on. That's four starts from four rounds and his best finish of the year.

    A-main P4 · qualified P3 · qual best lap 15.713 · 89.59% qual cons · 18 laps · fast 15.665 · 90.91% cons

    Second on pace at 15.713 and the owner of the fastest lap of the A-main at 15.665, quicker than anything the winner managed once the race started. What he didn't have was the rest of the run: an 18.011 average against Boyd's 17.427 over the same 18 laps, and ten seconds lost to him by the flag. Charlie Kleinhagen keeps finding one enormous lap and then mislaying the other seventeen.

    A-main P5 · qualified P6 · qual best lap 17.726 · 90.02% qual cons · 15 laps · fast 17.031 · 82.71% cons

    The 17.031 fastest lap in the main is seven tenths quicker than anything he found in qualifying, which is a rare and welcome direction of travel. Fifteen laps against 13 and 14 in the heats backs it up, even if the 82.71% consistency says the extra speed came with a bit of adventure attached. Best finish of his series and 90 points, on a night when he beat cars that had beaten him before.

    A-main P6 · qualified P7 · qual best lap 19.589 · 67.43% qual cons · 15 laps · fast 19.147 · 87.64% cons

    That one-lap Q3 is not the arrival of a metronome. A run that stops after a single lap tells you nothing at all about how steadily he was going. The real work was in the A-main: 15 laps, a 21.990 average and 87.64% consistency, comfortably his strongest race of the year and enough to beat a car that qualified the better part of two and three quarter seconds quicker. Four starts from four rounds, and finally a result to show for the attendance.

  7. 7th
    Matt Leibman 86 pts
    A-main P7 · qualified P4 · qual best lap 17.179 · 93.27% qual cons · 10 laps · fast 17.628 · 91.39% cons

    Qualifying looked like the makings of a solid afternoon, three completed runs of 16, 17 and 16 laps with a 16.882 best and 93.27% consistency, fifth on pace and four tenths off the car ahead. The main lasted ten laps and 3:13.952 before it stopped, and the 91.39% consistency across what he did run says he wasn't the problem. Rough way to spend an evening; the points still count.

This list runs in overall order rather than by main — the A-main, then the B, then the C, as one continuous run — and a driver who bumped up appears once in it, at the better of his two finishes. The table above has each main as its own race.

Championship after Round 4

Seven cars, a single heat per qualifier, and a debutant named Colby Rogers who led all three of them and won the A by a full lap, the easiest 100 points anybody has taken in this class. With four rounds run and best three counting, the table is a puzzle: C4 and Hendrick Westmoreland head it on 278 apiece from three starts, William Schroeder is third on 276 from his three, and Chris Camara's 360 from four starts is only good for fourth once his weakest round is set aside. Albert Bredernitz, the other man to make every date, is fifth on 338, with Henry Ballew and Mathew Schroeder on 258, Russell Rima on 252, Orlando Martinez on 192 and Mark Beach on 182. The discard has been biting since Round 3 and there is only ever one of them, so Bredernitz's soft rounds are not going anywhere in a hurry. Two dates left to sort it out.

    Twenty-one laps. Nobody in this class has put that many on the board in any run all series, heat or main, and he did it after a Q2 that returned no time at all. The 15.653 average is over a second a lap better than anything else in the A-main, the 14.690 fastest was quicker than his own qualifying best, and the 96.19% consistency in the heats was the tidiest figure in the class.

    Nobody had a steadier meeting: 19 laps in each of the three qualifiers, P1 in his heat in two of them, and then 19 again in the A-main. Fourth on outright pace at 15.112 and second at the flag, with a 16.911 average that was the best of anybody who wasn't winning.

The A-main gave him 19 laps and a 15.341 fastest, a shade quicker than the car that beat him to second. The 84.84% consistency is the lowest of the five cars that went the full distance, so the podium was earned the busy way rather than the smooth one.

    Mark Beach 92 pts
    A-main P4 · qualified P7 · qual best lap 16.024 · 92.70% qual cons · 18 laps · fast 16.282 · 91.38% cons

    Three qualifiers, three P3s in his heat, 17 laps every single time and 92.70% consistency to go with them; the car did the same thing all afternoon. He then found the extra lap in the A-main for 18 and trimmed the average from 17.760 to 17.653, which is the whole job description. Fourth equals his best finish of the series and makes it three top fives from three starts.

  5. 5th
    Chris Camara 90 pts
    A-main P5 · qualified P6 · qual best lap 16.407 · 95.71% qual cons · 18 laps · fast 16.292 · 91.67% cons

    The 95.71% qualifying consistency was second only to Hendrick Westmoreland's in the class, and seventh on pace was never going to be the headline - the headline is that he finished ahead of both of the cars that qualified quickest. Eighteen laps and 91.67% consistency in the main, a fraction better than Mark Beach's 91.38% in front of him, though Beach had the three and three quarter seconds that actually mattered. Five starts from five dates, and beating quicker cars is now less a habit than a method.

  6. 6th
    Albert Bredernitz 88 pts
    A-main P6 · qualified P8 · qual best lap 18.311 · 90.69% qual cons · 15 laps · fast 16.545 · 86.34% cons

    That 16.545 fastest lap in the A-main deserves a long look, because it is the better part of a second quicker than anything he has turned all series and it is sitting next to a 22.233 average - one lap out of fifteen behaving like a different car entirely. Take it at face value or leave it; the 15 laps and 86.34% consistency are the honest part, and they are more or less what he ran in July. Five starts from five dates, the only man besides Chris Camara to have made every one of them.

  7. 7th
    Mathew Schroeder 86 pts
    A-main P7 · qualified P3 · qual best lap 14.351 · 90.93% qual cons · 11 laps · fast 14.747 · 80.61% cons

    A 14.351 is the quickest lap this class has recorded all series, and Mathew Schroeder put it in two thousandths of a second ahead of William Schroeder to head the pace sheet - the only trouble being that pace sheets do not pay. The A-main stopped him at 11 laps and 3:07.763 with 80.61% consistency, although a 14.747 in amongst it says the speed had not gone anywhere. Eighty-six points for the fastest car in qualifying, and a driver who also races HobbyPlex will know exactly how that one stings.

  8. 8th
    William Schroeder 84 pts
    A-main P8 · qualified P1 · qual best lap 14.353 · 94.37% qual cons · 7 laps · fast 14.589 · 92.79% cons

    Seven laps in 1:37.892 and then the sheet simply stops, which is a thin return for the man who won Q2H2 and put 20 laps in during Q3H2. What those seven laps did contain was the fastest lap of the A-main at 14.589 and a 92.79% consistency to go with it - on rails right up until it wasn't. Second on the pace sheet by two thousandths to Mathew Schroeder and eighth in the combined order; the distance between those two facts is the entire evening.

  9. 9th
    Henry Ballew 82 pts
    ranked on qualifying · qualified P9 · qual best lap 17.310 · 83.30% qual cons

    None of his three qualifiers ran to distance - 11 laps, then six, then 10 - and the 16.417 best that put him eighth on pace came out of runs that kept getting cut short. He is in the result on the strength of that qualifying and nothing else, because the A-main went ahead without him in it. Eighty-two points for an evening's work in the heats is not the worst trade anybody has made this year.

  10. 10th
    Josh Strumillo 80 pts
    ranked on qualifying · qualified P10

    The qualifying sheet has him down for all three runs, P5 in his heat each time, with not a single lap recorded against his name in any of them. That is the whole of his meeting, because the A-main was run and won before his car got involved, and he is ranked tenth on it for 80 points. A blank column still scores, which is the one genuinely generous thing about a combined-order system.

This list runs in overall order rather than by main — the A-main, then the B, then the C, as one continuous run — and a driver who bumped up appears once in it, at the better of his two finishes. The table above has each main as its own race.

Championship after Round 5

Hendrick Westmoreland's first win of the series arrived in the most emphatic form on offer: 21 laps, more than this class has managed in any run all year, and a 15.653 average over a second a lap clear of everyone else in the A-main. It came on a night when the two quickest cars in qualifying disappeared from the sharp end - Mathew Schroeder's 14.351 and William Schroeder's 14.353 are the two fastest laps this class has recorded all series, and they turned into seventh and eighth once the mains stopped them at 11 laps and seven. Dennis Keith took a podium at his first appearance on this sheet and Dallas Boyd made it two seconds from two starts. Five of six dates are run, the best four count and one result now comes off anybody who has made all five: Westmoreland leads on 378 from four starts with nothing to discard, Chris Camara's 450 from five is only second once his weakest round is set aside, William Schroeder is third on 360 and Albert Bredernitz's 426 from five sits fourth for the same reason as Camara. Mathew Schroeder on 344, Henry Ballew on 340, C4 on 278, Mark Beach on 274, Russell Rima on 252 and Boyd on 192 complete the ten. Henry Ballew and Josh Strumillo both got through qualifying and then let the A-main proceed entirely without them, banking 82 and 80 points by a route nobody else thought to try, and there is one date left.

Tap Points w/ drops or Total all rounds to re-sort. Six race dates with your best five counting, scored exactly like Winning Wednesday — the drop comes in one result at a time as the season goes, matching the track’s own standings sheet, and right now that is one result coming off — the full allowance for the season. The Dropped column shows what it costs each driver. A dot is a round the class did not run; a dash is a round the driver missed.

Seeding comes from the qualifying run, not from one fast lap: most laps wins, and on equal laps the quicker time wins. Every figure in a row describes that one run — the driver’s best completed qualifier — rather than their best lap from one heat and their best average from another. Heats are not raced against each other, so a heat win is not a class result.

    A-main P1 · qualified P2 · qual best lap 16.753 · 88.71% qual cons · 18 laps · fast 16.519 · 98.51% cons

    Only the third-quickest lap in the building across qualifying, and then the one driver all night who improved on every measure that mattered when the lights went green: 16.519 fast, 16.940 average, 98.51% consistency. Eighteen laps in 5:06.093 with nobody inside eight seconds of him is what a dialed buggy looks like. He topped Q1 outright too, which the pace sheet politely ignored.

  2. 2nd
    Robert Summers 96 pts
    A-main P2 · qualified P1 · qual best lap 16.425 · 96.69% qual cons · 18 laps · fast 16.605 · 97.15% cons

    Quickest lap of qualifying by three thousandths, best average of the six, 97.10% consistency, and P1 in two of the three qualifiers - everything you want except the last ten minutes. He matched Vance's 18 laps and kept a tidy 97.15% in the A, but 5:14.167 to 5:06.093 is a gap you cannot argue with. Ninety-six points and a slightly furrowed brow.

  3. 3rd
    Chris Gross 94 pts
    A-main P3 · qualified P3 · qual best lap 16.343 · 92.12% qual cons · 17 laps · fast 16.730 · 89.96% cons

    A 16.343 is a properly quick lap; it lost the pace chart by 0.003 of a second, which is roughly the width of a decision. The main is where it slipped away, consistency falling from 92.12% to 89.96% and the average bloating to 18.612 - one big lap in there and 17 was all he had. Ninety-four points on the board and clearly more in the car.

  4. 4th
    Terry Gile 92 pts
    A-main P4 · qualified P6 · qual best lap 18.105 · 86.08% qual cons · 15 laps · fast 17.402 · 91.13% cons

    Second-slowest best lap on the property in qualifying at 18.105, and then he went and found a 17.402 when it counted, trimming almost eight tenths off his average in the process. Fifteen laps, 92 points, and a night spent quietly collecting places while quicker people had problems. That is a perfectly respectable way to bank a score.

  5. 5th
    Jason Ruhnke 90 pts
    A-main P5 · qualified P5 · qual best lap 19.050 · 93.91% qual cons · 15 laps · fast 18.160 · 89.05% cons

    Fifteen laps in Q1, fifteen in Q2, fifteen in Q3 - the man is a metronome with an 18.252 ceiling, and he turned that into 15 more in the A. His 93.91% qualifying consistency was second best in the class, though it sagged to 89.05% once the racing started. Ninety points for showing up and doing the job.

  6. 6th
    Steve Spears 88 pts
    A-main P6 · qualified P4 · qual best lap 17.628 · 91.88% qual cons · 12 laps · fast 17.563 · 85.46% cons

    Fourth on outright pace with a 16.888, quicker than two of the drivers who beat him, and then the run simply stopped: 12 laps in 3:51.981. Consistency of 85.46% was the worst figure in the class, and 12 laps against the 16 he ran in every qualifier tells you how much of the race he actually got. Eighty-eight points is a floor rather than a verdict, and with one result coming off from Round 3 onwards, this is precisely the kind of night that becomes droppable.

This list runs in overall order rather than by main — the A-main, then the B, then the C, as one continuous run — and a driver who bumped up appears once in it, at the better of his two finishes. The table above has each main as its own race.

Championship after Round 1

One meeting in, six cars out, and the opening round did what opening rounds do: sorted the quick from the lucky and gave nobody any breathing room. Vaughn Vance takes the first 100 points despite only being third on outright qualifying pace, which he managed by finding his best form in the A while the two men who beat him on the stopwatch went backwards. Robert Summers had the fastest lap and the best average of the night and leaves four points down, Chris Gross another two back after losing the pace chart by three thousandths. Everybody in the class has exactly one start, so the table is simply the finishing order with bigger numbers, and the 12-point spread from top to bottom means Steve Spears' truncated run has not actually cost him much. Six dates are scheduled and the best five count, so there is a very long way to go before anyone needs a calculator.

Through Round 1 the drop rule has nothing to take away yet, so both columns match.

    A-main P1 · qualified P2 · qual best lap 16.960 · 95.53% qual cons · 18 laps · fast 16.652 · 97.70% cons

    Debut night, and he arrived with a 16.722 and 95.53% consistency before turning both up in the A - 16.652 fast, 17.318 average, 97.70% consistency, which is the most metronomic run anybody produced all evening. Eighteen laps in 5:11.904 and the class high score at the first attempt. Some people ease into a series; he kicked the door in.

  2. 2nd
    Robert Summers 96 pts
    A-main P2 · qualified P1 · qual best lap 16.622 · 95.86% qual cons · 18 laps · fast 16.401 · 94.64% cons

    He owned the pace sheet again - 16.622 best, 17.300 average, top spot in two qualifiers - and then had the odd experience of throwing down the fastest lap of the A-main at 16.401 and still losing. Eighteen laps each for him and Beach, just under four seconds between them, and 94.64% consistency against Beach's 97.70% explains where it went. Ninety-six points keeps him top of the pile, which softens it.

    A-main P3 · qualified P3 · qual best lap 17.841 · 94.15% qual cons · 16 laps · fast 16.914 · 89.19% cons

    Only fifth on fastest lap, but look at the qualifying pattern: 16, 16 and 16 laps with 94.15% consistency, the most repeatable run in the building outside the front two. He converted that into 16 more laps and a podium, even as his consistency dropped to 89.19% under race pressure. A big improvement on where his last outing ended.

  4. 4th
    Chris Gross 92 pts
    A-main P4 · qualified P4 · qual best lap 17.118 · 89.58% qual cons · 16 laps · fast 16.769 · 89.53% cons

    Third on fastest lap at 16.749 and nowhere near it the rest of the time - a 19.530 qualifying average against a 16.7 potential is a lot of lap time going missing. His 89.53% in the main was almost identical to his 89.58% in qualifying, so at least the problem is consistent. Sixteen laps and 92 points.

  5. 5th
    Payton Boyd 90 pts
    A-main P5 · qualified P6 · qual best lap 19.211 · 87.25% qual cons · 15 laps · fast 18.925 · 95.57% cons

    Qualifying was a mess by any measure - slowest best lap at 18.965 and a Q3 that lasted three laps and 1:18.154 before it ended - so the A was a genuine reinvention. He posted 95.57% consistency, better than everyone bar the winner, and rattled off 15 clean laps. Fifth and 90 points from a starting position that suggested nothing of the sort.

  6. 6th
    Chris Cupp 88 pts
    A-main P6 · qualified P5 · qual best lap 17.757 · 90.98% qual cons · 14 laps · fast 17.546 · 83.42% cons

    Fourth quickest in the building at 16.845, which made the main genuinely painful to watch: 83.42% consistency, a 21.653 average, and a fast lap of 17.546 that was seven tenths off his own qualifying best. Fourteen laps and 88 points from a car that had top-four speed in it. Something happened, and the numbers do not flatter it.

  7. 7th
    Camila Mitchell 86 pts
    A-main P7 · qualified P7 · qual best lap 18.538 · 87.32% qual cons · 13 laps · fast 18.160 · 78.74% cons

    A rough introduction to the class - 18.265 was the second-slowest best lap in qualifying, and the A-main dropped her to 78.74% consistency with a 23.698 average, which is a fast lap and then a lot of sightseeing. Thirteen laps completed and 86 points banked. Everyone starts somewhere, and points collected on a bad night still count.

This list runs in overall order rather than by main — the A-main, then the B, then the C, as one continuous run — and a driver who bumped up appears once in it, at the better of his two finishes. The table above has each main as its own race.

Championship after Round 2

The class grew to seven and immediately produced a first-time winner in Mark Beach, who did it the tidy way with 97.70% consistency and 18 laps. Robert Summers leads on 192 from two starts, six clear of Chris Gross and ten clear of Steve Spears, and crucially all three of them have been to both meetings - the only drivers who have. That matters more than the gaps right now, because Beach and Vaughn Vance both sit on 100 points from a single appearance and are effectively a full round of credit behind despite having won everything they entered. With the best five of six counting and only two rounds run, nothing has been discarded and nobody can afford to skip a date on purpose. Attendance is doing more work in this championship than talent is, at least so far.

Through Round 2 the drop rule has nothing to take away yet, so both columns match.

    A-main P1 · qualified P3 · qual best lap 17.012 · 96.30% qual cons · 18 laps · fast 16.629 · 94.84% cons

    Beaten to the quickest lap of qualifying by 0.032 and beaten in the heat count too, then he went and did the only thing that pays: 18 laps in the A when nobody else managed more than 17. Curiously his consistency actually fell, 97.71% in qualifying down to 94.84% in the main, which suggests he spent the run managing rather than cruising. A hundred points and a proper hold on the championship.

    A-main P2 · qualified P2 · qual best lap 17.148 · 98.09% qual cons · 17 laps · fast 16.996 · 97.21% cons

    First appearance in the class and he brought the single most impressive number of the qualifying session: 98.09% consistency, essentially lap-for-lap identical for fifteen minutes, plus P1 in his Q2 heat. Only fourth on outright lap time, which tells you he was trading a heater for repeatability, and it very nearly worked - 17 laps at 97.21% consistency and second on the road. Ninety-six points for a debut is a serious return.

  3. 3rd
    Mark Beach 94 pts
    A-main P3 · qualified P1 · qual best lap 16.926 · 97.02% qual cons · 17 laps · fast 16.696 · 92.07% cons

    He owned the fastest lap of qualifying at 16.594 and won two of the three heats he was in, so third on the road is a mild disappointment dressed as a good night. The main told the tale: consistency down from 97.02% to 92.07%, average up to 18.018, 17 laps to the winner's 18. Ninety-four points and plenty of speed still parked in the pit lane.

  4. 4th
    Jason Ruhnke 92 pts
    A-main P4 · qualified P7 · qual best lap 18.904 · 92.55% qual cons · 16 laps · fast 18.198 · 90.60% cons

    Sixth of seven on qualifying pace with a 17.868, then a genuinely excellent piece of racing - 16 laps in the A when he had never got past 15 in any qualifier, and a 90.60% consistency figure that held together under pressure. Fourth on the road ahead of two drivers with more lap time in their pockets. Ninety-two points earned the hard way.

  5. 5th
    Chris Gross 90 pts
    A-main P5 · qualified P5 · qual best lap 17.280 · 91.91% qual cons · 16 laps · fast 17.219 · 87.26% cons

    A 17.280 was his slowest qualifying best of the series so far and it did not improve much in the main, where his consistency slid from 91.91% to 87.26%. Sixteen laps in 5:14.619 left him fifth, two seconds behind Ruhnke on the road and the better part of a second a lap short of his own early-season form. Ninety points, and the third straight round where the average lap has been the enemy.

  6. 6th
    Josh Strumillo 88 pts
    A-main P6 · qualified P4 · qual best lap 16.876 · 90.54% qual cons · 15 laps · fast 17.100 · 83.01% cons

    Debut, and the pace was real - 16.876 was the third-quickest lap in the building and he ran 17 laps in two of the three qualifiers. Then the A arrived and consistency cratered from 92.22% to 83.01%, the worst number of the seven, with a 19.891 average that has a very large lap hiding inside it. Fifteen laps and 88 points from a car that qualified like a podium threat.

  7. 7th
    Camila Mitchell 86 pts
    A-main P7 · qualified P6 · qual best lap 18.200 · 93.56% qual cons · 15 laps · fast 18.392 · 92.15% cons

    Second time out and the difference is stark: 93.56% consistency in qualifying against 87.32% last time, a 16-lap Q3 that was her best run in the class, and then 92.15% consistency and 15 laps in the main. Still slowest on outright pace at 18.200, but the scrappiness has gone and the laps are stacking up. Eighty-six points and a genuinely improving driver.

This list runs in overall order rather than by main — the A-main, then the B, then the C, as one continuous run — and a driver who bumped up appears once in it, at the better of his two finishes. The table above has each main as its own race.

Championship after Round 3

Robert Summers finally converted the fastest-car label into a win and now leads on 292 from three starts. The drop arrives with this round - three run, best two counting - and it puts Mark Beach second on 194 from two outings, with Chris Gross, who has the same perfect attendance record as Summers and none of the results, third on 276. Behind them the table is a monument to the calendar: Jason Ruhnke and Steve Spears on 182 have both missed a round, and Victor Burger's excellent 96-point debut leaves him eighth purely because he has one start. Camila Mitchell's 172 from two rounds is worth watching, because she has scored twice and her lap times are heading the right way. Every missed meeting is still a hole that cannot be filled, because only one result ever comes off in this series. Turning up remains the single most valuable skill in this class.

Seeding comes from the qualifying run, not from one fast lap: most laps wins, and on equal laps the quicker time wins. Every figure in a row describes that one run — the driver’s best completed qualifier — rather than their best lap from one heat and their best average from another. Heats are not raced against each other, so a heat win is not a class result. One fast lap here is not the one the timing printed. A transponder counted a lap twice, producing a time quicker than the class has ever gone from a run nowhere near that pace, so the figure shown is that driver’s quickest genuine lap of the run instead. Nothing else about it moves: the finish, the laps and time and the average are as they were raced.

    Victor Burger 100 pts
    A-main P1 · qualified P1 · qual best lap 16.801 · 95.10% qual cons · 18 laps · fast 16.883 · 95.60% cons

    Top of the timing screens in Q1 and Q2 and second in Q3, 95.10% consistency, and then the small matter of 18 laps in the A when only one other car managed it. His 95.60% in the main is barely different from his qualifying number, which is the whole point of him - the car does the same thing every lap and it is on rails. Two starts in the class now and a win and a second to show for them.

  2. 2nd
    Chris Gross 96 pts
    A-main P2 · qualified P4 · qual best lap 17.213 · 91.65% qual cons · 18 laps · fast 16.761 · 89.36% cons

    Fifth on pace, and it turns out the pace chart is not the whole story, because he found 18 laps in the A - more than he has managed in any round this year - and 5:19.298 to hold second. Consistency of 89.36% is still the soft spot, but a 17-lap Q3 was the strongest run he has put together all meeting and the race backed it up. Ninety-six points is his biggest haul yet and it arrived at exactly the right moment.

  3. 3rd
    Steve Spears 94 pts
    A-main P3 · qualified P3 · qual best lap 16.688 · 91.14% qual cons · 17 laps · fast 16.920 · 92.36% cons

    Second quickest in the building at 16.688 and a 17-lap Q3 to go with it, then 17 laps and 92.36% consistency in the main, comfortably his most composed race of the season. He beat the one driver who out-qualified him and lost only to two cars that went a lap further. Ninety-four points and a third start that finally matches the speed he keeps showing on Saturday afternoon.

  4. 4th
    Brad McGuire 92 pts
    A-main P4 · qualified P5 · qual best lap 17.490 · 92.87% qual cons · 17 laps · fast 17.086 · 87.86% cons

    New face, sixth on outright lap time, and utterly unbothered by either fact - 16 laps in all three qualifiers, second in his Q2 heat, and 17 laps in the A. Consistency of 92.87% in qualifying dipped to 87.86% when it mattered, which is the one thing to work on. Ninety-two points on debut from the slowest single lap in the class is a lesson in keeping it on the island.

  5. 5th
    Robert Summers 90 pts
    A-main P5 · qualified P2 · qual best lap 16.825 · 92.82% qual cons · 17 laps · fast 16.423 · 86.25% cons

    He threw down the quickest lap of the A-main at 16.423, faster than anything he managed in qualifying and faster than the winner, and it bought him nothing, because 86.25% consistency was the worst figure of the six. The 19.241 average against a 16.4 best is the fingerprint of a race that kept getting interrupted. Ninety points is his lowest of the year and, with the drop live since Round 3 and only his best three counting, it is the one his total is already leaving behind.

  6. 6th
    Jason Ruhnke 88 pts
    A-main P6 · qualified P6 · qual best lap 17.910 · 92.85% qual cons · 16 laps · fast 18.371 · 92.40% cons

    The timing sheet credited him with a 15.563 in qualifying, the best part of a second clear of anything else in the class, and it is his opening lap off a standing start - the one lap of any run that cannot be the quickest. His real best in that heat was a 17.910, which is what the table now shows and sits where his 18.996 average says it should. What the racing actually showed was 16 laps and 92.40% consistency, his steadiest main of the season, which still only paid sixth in a six-car field. Eighty-eight points on a night where everyone had a decent run.

This list runs in overall order rather than by main — the A-main, then the B, then the C, as one continuous run — and a driver who bumped up appears once in it, at the better of his two finishes. The table above has each main as its own race.

Championship after Round 4

Four rounds down and the top of the championship belongs to the two men who have never missed one: Robert Summers on 382 and Chris Gross on 372, ten points apart after a night that went badly for the leader and brilliantly for his chaser. Victor Burger's win and second from two starts is the loudest statistic on the sheet, but 196 points leaves him fifth because two absences cost roughly two hundred, and the same arithmetic buries Mark Beach on 194 with a win of his own. Steve Spears and Jason Ruhnke have three starts each on 276 and 270 and are the only drivers with a realistic route into the fight if the leaders stumble. Two dates remain and the drop has been biting since Round 3, so the four-start men are already counting only their best three - Summers' 90 this round is the one his total has quietly shed. There is no second discard coming, so from here points are worth exactly what they say they are.

Every figure in a row describes that one run — the driver’s best completed qualifier — rather than their best lap from one heat and their best average from another. Heats are not raced against each other, so a heat win is not a class result.

  1. 1st
    Robert Summers 100 pts
    A-main P1 · qualified P3 · qual best lap 16.708 · 93.16% qual cons · 19 laps · fast 16.357 · 92.56% cons

    He arrived third on outright qualifying pace and left with the biggest number this class has produced all series: 19 laps in the A, 5:13.794, off a 17.155 average and 92.56% consistency. His 16.357 was only the second-quickest lap of the main, which tells you he won this on the other eighteen and a half laps rather than on one heater. Two and a bit seconds covered him and Beach at the flag with the same lap count on the board. A hundred points, and the championship lead is looking properly solid.

  2. 2nd
    Mark Beach 96 pts
    A-main P2 · qualified P1 · qual best lap 16.556 · 94.35% qual cons · 19 laps · fast 16.224 · 94.33% cons

    The 16.180 he threw down in qualifying is the quickest lap this class has turned all season, and he topped both Q2 and Q3 to go with it, including an 18-lap run. In the A he was the more metronomic of the front two - 94.33% consistency against Summers' 92.56%, and a 16.224 that was the fastest lap of the race - and it still came out 2.124 seconds the wrong way after both cars went 19 laps. Ninety-six points and the strong suspicion this one was there to be taken.

  3. 3rd
    Victor Burger 94 pts
    A-main P3 · qualified P4 · qual best lap 16.797 · 90.95% qual cons · 17 laps · fast 16.509 · 89.32% cons

    Quicker in the main than he ever was in qualifying, a 16.509 against a 16.797 best, which is a handy way round for a driver to have things. The trade was repeatability: 91.51% in qualifying and 89.32% in the A are the softest figures he has posted since he turned up in this class, and 17 laps left him two down on the leading pair. Ninety-four points, three starts, and a podium every single time out.

  4. 4th
    Chris Gross 92 pts
    A-main P4 · qualified P5 · qual best lap 17.180 · 95.29% qual cons · 17 laps · fast 17.600 · 93.51% cons

    Top of the sheet in Q1 with 17 laps, a Q2 that stopped at 14 laps and 4:24.141, then 17 more in Q3 - and out of that came 95.29% consistency, the best qualifying figure in the class. The main ran the same way: 93.51% consistency, second best of anyone who took the start, built on a 17.600 fast lap that was half a second off his own qualifying best. Seventeen laps, 92 points, and a fifth start from five rounds, which in this championship has been worth more than any single lap.

  5. 5th
    Charlie Hicklin 90 pts
    A-main P5 · qualified P2 · qual best lap 16.814 · 94.61% qual cons · 17 laps · fast 16.823 · 84.05% cons

    First time out in the class and he put a 16.457 on the board, second quickest of qualifying, with 94.61% consistency and a 17-lap Q2 - a man who has raced at HobbyPlex and clearly did not leave the pace at home. The A was less kind: 84.05% consistency, the lowest of the six who took the start, and a 19.223 average hanging off a 16.823 best, which is one good lap and then a sightseeing tour. Seventeen laps and 90 points on a debut that had plenty more in it.

  6. 6th
    Jason Ruhnke 88 pts
    A-main P6 · qualified P7 · qual best lap 17.188 · 87.46% qual cons · 17 laps · fast 17.925 · 90.68% cons

    Slowest best lap in the class at 17.188, and utterly unconcerned about it - 16 laps in each of the last two qualifiers and then 17 in the A, the most he has managed in a race all season. His 90.68% consistency held together again and the 19.406 average is a shortfall rather than a chasm. Eighty-eight points on an evening when nobody ahead of him handed anything back.

  7. 7th
    Chuck Burns 86 pts
    ranked on qualifying · qualified P6 · qual best lap 17.139 · 88.96% qual cons

    Two qualifiers in the book - 15 laps in Q1, 16 in Q2, and a 17.139 best that put him ahead of Ruhnke on outright pace - and then no Q3 run and no appearance in the A. The grid slot was earned and the race went ahead without him, which the scoring handles by ranking him on the qualifying he did and paying out 86 points. An unusual way to open an account, and it counts exactly the same as everyone else's.

This list runs in overall order rather than by main — the A-main, then the B, then the C, as one continuous run — and a driver who bumped up appears once in it, at the better of his two finishes. The table above has each main as its own race.

Championship after Round 5

Five rounds run, one date left, and the two men who have not missed a single Saturday are still the two men at the top: Robert Summers on 482 and Chris Gross on 464, eighteen points apart. The drop does not shift that at all, because five starts means the best four count and both of them are shedding a 90 - Summers' from Round 4, Gross's from Round 3 - so the counting totals read 392 and 374 and the gap is identical. Where it does bite is immediately behind, because Jason Ruhnke has exactly four starts, discards nothing whatsoever, and his 358 is only sixteen off Gross once the arithmetic is done. Mark Beach and Victor Burger are welded together on 290 from three outings each with a win apiece, and Steve Spears sits on 276 from three - all of them undone by absence rather than by pace. And then there is Chuck Burns, who came to the track, banked two qualifiers, earned himself a grid slot and then let the A-main proceed entirely without him: 86 points collected without turning a wheel in the race, which is either peerless energy management or a story he has not told us yet.

Seeding comes from the qualifying run, not from one fast lap: most laps wins, and on equal laps the quicker time wins. Every figure in a row describes that one run — the driver’s best completed qualifier — rather than their best lap from one heat and their best average from another. Heats are not raced against each other, so a heat win is not a class result.

    A-main P1 · qualified P1 · qual best lap 14.719 · 94.41% qual cons · 19 laps · fast 14.742 · 92.01% cons

    Twenty laps in Q3 was the biggest number posted by anybody all evening, and it came from a driver whose Q1 produced no time at all and whose Q2 lasted eight laps - so the whole case for him rested on one run. He then went and won the A by a clear lap, 19 in 5:04.422 off a 14.742, with consistency easing back only slightly to 92.01%. Speed that concentrated is usually fragile; this time it held.

    A-main P2 · qualified P2 · qual best lap 14.872 · 91.81% qual cons · 18 laps · fast 15.037 · 89.47% cons

    Charlie Kleinhagen won every qualifier the C4 car entered, three from three, 19 laps each time, which is a remarkable way to spend an afternoon even allowing for the heats not being seeded against one another. Backed up by a 14.797 and 94.25% consistency, that pace was clearly real rather than a scheduling gift. He could not hold the trick together in the A, slipping to 18 laps and 89.47%, but 96 points on the opening night is a serious shift.

    Robert Summers 94 pts
    A-main P3 · qualified P4 · qual best lap 15.998 · 91.22% qual cons · 18 laps · fast 15.688 · 93.47% cons

    A 15.998 left him more than a second adrift of the two cars in front on pure lap time, so the answer was to stop chasing it and drive properly instead: 93.47% consistency in the A, up from 91.22% in qualifying, and 18 laps on the same lap as the C4 car. Two seconds covered them at the flag. Ninety-four points earned by tidiness rather than by heroics.

    Chris Camara 92 pts
    A-main P4 · qualified P3 · qual best lap 16.517 · 96.30% qual cons · 17 laps · fast 16.234 · 90.75% cons

    Nobody in the building qualified straighter - 96.30% consistency, the best figure of anybody who set a time, built off a modest 16.517 and 18 laps in Q3. Some of that polish went missing in the A, down to 90.75%, but 17 laps and fourth place is what a driver with no top-end speed and no mistakes collects. He finished ahead of quicker cars with shorter tempers.

  5. 5th
    Chris Gross 90 pts
    A-main P5 · qualified P6 · qual best lap 16.981 · 92.07% qual cons · 17 laps · fast 16.792 · 94.12% cons

    He topped his Q1 heat and still came out fourth on pace, which is the heat split doing precisely what the rulebook warns it does. The main was his best work of the night: 94.12% consistency, the highest number in the race, and an 18.039 average that was seven tenths sharper than his qualifying figure. Ninety points, and a car that clearly came to him as the track went in.

  6. 6th
    Steve Spears 88 pts
    A-main P6 · qualified P7 · qual best lap 16.884 · 87.88% qual cons · 16 laps · fast 16.633 · 90.24% cons

    An 87.88% consistency figure with a 19.980 average sitting on top of a 16.884 best lap is the signature of one enormous lap per run, and he did it three times in qualifying. Credit where it is due, he cleaned it up when it mattered - 90.24%, the average down almost a full second, 16 laps in the A. Eighty-eight points from a night that started scruffy and ended sensible.

  7. 7th
    Keeron Ward 86 pts
    A-main P7 · qualified P5 · qual best lap 16.965 · 91.53% qual cons · 16 laps · fast 16.629 · 89.43% cons

    Q2 returned no time whatsoever, which makes a 16.965 best and 91.53% consistency a slightly thin sample however you look at it - though 17 laps in Q3 was solid enough evidence. In the A he found a 16.629, quicker than anything he had managed earlier, and 16 laps that left him just over three seconds behind Spears. Eighty-six points, and a complete qualifying sheet would have made that a much closer argument.

  8. 8th
    Albert Bredernitz 84 pts
    A-main P8 · qualified P8 · qual best lap 17.755 · 88.46% qual cons · 10 laps · fast 20.534 · 87.62% cons

    Qualifying was consistent in the least useful sense of the word - 15 laps, 15 laps and 15 laps, a 17.565 best, 89.44% consistency, all of it well off the pace but entirely under control. The A went somewhere else: 10 laps in 3:58.253, a 23.854 average, and the best he could find was a 20.534 - three seconds slower than anything he had managed earlier. Eighty-four points still go on the board, and in a championship that keeps five results out of six, a total this low is exactly the kind a driver stops worrying about later on.

  9. 9th
    J.J. Miller 82 pts
    ranked on qualifying · qualified P9 · qual best lap 16.949 · 74.66% qual cons

    Two qualifiers on the board and a third that returned nothing left him seventh on pace with a 16.936, and the 20.402 average sitting behind it says the quick laps were arriving one at a time rather than by the handful. The result line then carries 82 points and an empty lap column, so the part of the meeting that actually paid went by without a single figure being recorded. Bottom of a nine-car championship is the whole of his season so far, and 82 is precisely the number he will want the drop to swallow when it arrives at Round 3 - assuming he collects enough starts to have something to give back.

This list runs in overall order rather than by main — the A-main, then the B, then the C, as one continuous run — and a driver who bumped up appears once in it, at the better of his two finishes. The table above has each main as its own race.

Championship after Round 1

Nine cars were on the sheet in the opening round and the top three were settled by pace that was visible from the car park. Hendrick Westmoreland leaves with 100 points off a single qualifier that actually produced a time, Charlie Kleinhagen takes 96 in the C4 car after winning everything he entered before the main and nothing after it, and Robert Summers banks 94 by being the tidiest of the chasing group. Nobody has raced twice yet, so the table is just the result sheet wearing a bigger set of numbers, and only 18 points separate the winner from J.J. Miller at the bottom. That narrow spread is the important detail: a bad night here costs almost nothing, so long as you have one. This series drops a single result and it does not arrive until Round 3, so with one round run there is nothing to discard for anybody.

Through Round 1 the drop rule has nothing to take away yet, so both columns match.

    A-main P1 · qualified P2 · qual best lap 14.511 · 89.05% qual cons · 19 laps · fast 14.533 · 91.99% cons

    He walked in for his first run in this class holding the quickest lap of the meeting, a 14.511, and then actually converted it - 19 laps in 5:01.376 and the win. The one untidy number was 89.05% qualifying consistency, the loosest of the four quick cars, and he sharpened that to 91.99% once points were on the table. Debut wins are supposed to be harder than that.

  2. 2nd
    Hendrick Westmoreland 96 pts
    A-main P2 · qualified P1 · qual best lap 14.616 · 94.74% qual cons · 18 laps · fast 14.550 · 81.82% cons

    Twenty laps in Q1, twenty again in Q3, and a 15.416 average that was the best of anyone in the building - the raw speed was never the question. The A was where it unravelled, consistency falling off a cliff from 94.74% to 81.82% with the average nearly a second and a half worse. Eighteen laps and second place is a fine salvage job from a run that plainly had something go wrong in the middle of it.

  3. 3rd

    A-main P3 · qualified P3 · qual best lap 15.070 · 95.12% qual cons · 18 laps · fast 15.040 · 89.63% cons

    Debut evening, and the number that leaps out is 95.12% qualifying consistency - the steadiest car on the property - assembled from 18, 19 and 19 laps without a wasted run anywhere. He carried enough of it into the A for 18 laps at 89.63%, finishing two and a bit seconds behind Westmoreland. Ninety-four points and a car that evidently does not need warming up.

  4. 4th
    Chris Camara 92 pts
    A-main P4 · qualified P5 · qual best lap 16.618 · 91.87% qual cons · 17 laps · fast 17.057 · 93.66% cons

    Only one car in the field had a slower best lap than his 16.618, and he could not have cared less, because he produced 93.66% consistency in the A-main - the best figure in the race - and beat two cars that were quicker over a single lap. Seventeen laps, 92 points, and a second consecutive round of the same routine: never fastest, never in trouble, always further up the sheet than the stopwatch suggests.

  5. 5th
    C4 90 pts
    A-main P5 · qualified P4 · qual best lap 15.202 · 90.10% qual cons · 17 laps · fast 16.002 · 80.86% cons

    C4 qualified fourth on pace with a 15.187 and 90.10% consistency, then had a genuinely miserable A-main: 80.86% consistency, 17 laps, and a best of 16.002 sitting eight tenths adrift of what the car had shown earlier. That much lap scatter means the run kept getting interrupted rather than that the car was slow. Ninety points is a thin return for a machine with that much speed in it.

  6. 6th
    Chris Gross 88 pts
    A-main P6 · qualified P6 · qual best lap 16.979 · 77.77% qual cons · 15 laps · fast 16.371 · 83.04% cons

    An 85.10% consistency figure was the worst of the seven, and a 20.460 average sitting four seconds above a 16.393 best lap is not a setup problem, it is a paperwork problem. He was at least dependable about it - 15 laps in every qualifier and 15 more in the main, finishing sixth. Eighty-eight points from a night where the car never really hooked up.

  7. 7th
    Albert Bredernitz 86 pts
    A-main P7 · qualified P7 · qual best lap 17.953 · 89.53% qual cons · 7 laps · fast 17.511 · 72.43% cons

    Q2 ended after seven laps and 2:24.348, which turned out to be a dress rehearsal, because the A-main ended after seven laps and 2:41.325. Consistency of 72.43% and a 23.115 average describe a car that spent more of the run being retrieved than driven. Eighty-six points all the same, and he is one of only five drivers to have scored at both meetings so far, which is worth more than it currently looks.

This list runs in overall order rather than by main — the A-main, then the B, then the C, as one continuous run — and a driver who bumped up appears once in it, at the better of his two finishes. The table above has each main as its own race.

Championship after Round 2

A new name arrived and won it on the spot, Orlando Martinez taking 100 points on debut with the fastest lap of the meeting and the only 19-lap main. Hendrick Westmoreland heads the championship on 196 from two starts, ten clear of C4 and twelve clear of Chris Camara, who has yet to finish better than fourth and is already third in the table. That is the arithmetic of this series in one line - the five drivers who have been to both meetings fill the top five places, and Martinez sits sixth on 100 points despite winning by a street. With four rounds still to come and the series' single drop not arriving until Round 3, nothing has come off anybody's card yet, which makes every missed date pure loss. Attendance is currently outperforming talent by a wide margin.

Through Round 2 the drop rule has nothing to take away yet, so both columns match.

    A-main P1 · qualified P1 · qual best lap 14.596 · 88.95% qual cons · 20 laps · fast 14.335 · 91.45% cons

    His Q3 stopped at 13 laps and 3:37.961, which is why the pace chart had him second, and then he went out and put 20 laps on the board in the A - a number nobody has reached in a main in this class this year. A 14.335 fast lap, a 15.421 average and 91.45% consistency is simply a better car than the other five had. Two starts in the class, two wins.

    New to the class and immediately the most composed driver in the race: 95.67% consistency in the A, better than four points of a percent clear of anybody else, over 19 laps. His qualifying was 18 laps, 18 laps and 18 laps with not one scruffy run in it, which is the sort of afternoon that turns into points. Ninety-six of them, on debut.

    A-main P3 · qualified P5 · qual best lap 16.047 · 91.85% qual cons · 17 laps · fast 15.647 · 86.98% cons

    Fourth on pace and then his best drive of the season by a distance - a 15.647 in the A that was four tenths quicker than anything he found in qualifying, and 17 laps in 5:02.443. Consistency slipped to 86.98%, so serene it was not, but this is the result the opening two rounds kept withholding from him. Ninety-four points and a podium at last.

  4. 4th

    A-main P4 · qualified P2 · qual best lap 15.809 · 92.29% qual cons · 17 laps · fast 15.886 · 86.33% cons

    The timing put a 13.884 against his Q1 - four and a half tenths quicker than anything else in the class and two full seconds faster than his own best lap in the main - and it is a transponder having a moment rather than a lap he drove, so the table shows the 15.863 he actually turned in that run instead. What is not in doubt is the 18-lap Q3, the quickest run of that session by anybody. The A then handed him 86.33% consistency and 17 laps, and fourth place, which is becoming his address.

  5. 5th
    Josh Strumillo 90 pts
    A-main P5 · qualified P4 · qual best lap 16.325 · 93.00% qual cons · 14 laps · fast 16.033 · 49.36% cons

    Qualifying said he belonged here - 93.00% consistency, the best in the session, and 18 laps in Q1 off a 16.055. The A then returned a consistency figure of 49.36%, which is less a statistic than a distress signal, alongside a 21.789 average and 14 laps. Ninety points, and a 16.033 fast lap that confirms the speed never actually left the car.

  6. 6th
    Wayne Schroeder 88 pts
    ranked on qualifying · qualified P6

    The qualifying sheet lists him in all three sessions and returns nothing from any of them - no best lap, no average, no consistency, just P6 written down and the clock left idle. The result line reads the same way: 88 points, and a blank where the other five have lap counts. It still scores, and a first entry in this class worth 88 leaves him a couple of points shy of a top ten propped up on Josh Strumillo's 90 - and with the drop live from this round on, it is exactly the sort of score he would want back, once he has enough starts to have something to give away.

This list runs in overall order rather than by main — the A-main, then the B, then the C, as one continuous run — and a driver who bumped up appears once in it, at the better of his two finishes. The table above has each main as its own race.

Championship after Round 3

The class thinned to six cars and Orlando Martinez made it look like a private test session, 20 laps in the A for his second win from two starts. The drop arrives with this round - three run, best two counting - and it hands Martinez the championship on 200, with Hendrick Westmoreland second on 196 and Charlie Kleinhagen's C4 third on 186, all three from two starts. Chris Camara's 276 from three rounds is only good for fourth, with Chris Gross on 272 fifth, because the third score each of them is carrying no longer counts. Mark Beach's 96-point debut and Josh Strumillo's 90 are worth exactly as much as anybody else's single start, which is to say not enough yet. Three meetings remain, and from here everybody's weakest round is quietly being set aside.

    He topped Q1 and Q2 outright and then delivered the drive of the night, 20 laps in the A off a 14.573 - the only car to reach 20. He ranked third on lap time, 0.079 away from top spot, behind two men who both finished behind him, which is about the tidiest demonstration you will get of how little one fast lap is worth. A hundred points at the first attempt.

    A-main P2 · qualified P2 · qual best lap 14.889 · 92.85% qual cons · 19 laps · fast 14.821 · 88.57% cons

    Quickest single lap of qualifying at 14.665, 19 laps in all three qualifiers and 93.61% consistency - as complete a Saturday as the sheet allows for. The A gave him 19 more and 88.57%, and still cost him a lap to Dewild, which is the kind of result that follows a man home. Ninety-six points on debut is a decent painkiller.

    A-main P3 · qualified P3 · qual best lap 15.004 · 86.02% qual cons · 19 laps · fast 15.448 · 85.35% cons

    Charlie Kleinhagen had an odd qualifying - 18 laps, 18 laps, then a Q3 that stopped at 15 laps and 4:17.128 - and none of it mattered by the time the A ran. Nineteen laps in 5:12.255 and a 15.448 fast lap put C4 on the podium ahead of a car that had beaten him to a quicker lap in qualifying. Three outings in this class, three top-five finishes, and it is starting to look like a pattern rather than luck.

    A-main P4 · qualified P4 · qual best lap 14.751 · 84.58% qual cons · 18 laps · fast 15.075 · 86.08% cons

    Second on outright pace with a 14.698 and an 86.79% consistency figure that was the loosest of the four quick cars, which is the entire story of his evening in two numbers. Eighteen laps and an 18.668 average in the A, nearly a second worse than his qualifying average, left him fourth when the lap time suggested a podium. No shortage of speed from a driver who has been putting laps in at HobbyPlex as well; the repeatability is what he went home to work on.

    A-main P5 · qualified P6 · qual best lap 16.886 · 91.82% qual cons · 17 laps · fast 16.687 · 92.48% cons

    A Q2 heat win and 92.02% consistency are honest numbers whichever heat you happen to be drawn in, and the A backed them up properly: 92.48% consistency, the highest of the eight, and 17 laps that cleared all three of the cars he had been qualifying against. Ninety points, no incidents, no fuss. It is remarkable how often this driver finishes higher than his fast lap says he should.

  6. 6th
    Brad McGuire 88 pts
    A-main P6 · qualified P5 · qual best lap 16.904 · 95.18% qual cons · 16 laps · fast 16.362 · 85.27% cons

    Two heat wins out of three runs and 95.18% consistency, comfortably the steadiest qualifying of the eight - none of which is a class win, because those heats were never seeded against each other. The A drew the distinction sharply: 16 laps, the average up more than two seconds to 20.072, consistency down to 85.27%. Eighty-eight points, and a night that suggests all that steadiness needs some outright speed bolted to it.

  7. 7th
    Chris Gross 86 pts
    A-main P7 · qualified P7 · qual best lap 16.451 · 90.04% qual cons · 16 laps · fast 17.545 · 87.32% cons

    Fifth on pace with 90.04% consistency in qualifying, and then a main that came apart in slow motion - a 17.545 fast lap, a second and a half off his own qualifying best, sitting under a 20.403 average. Sixteen laps and 86 points is the softest score on his card, and with the drop already live - four rounds run, best three counting - that is the one his total has quietly set aside.

This list runs in overall order rather than by main — the A-main, then the B, then the C, as one continuous run — and a driver who bumped up appears once in it, at the better of his two finishes. The table above has each main as its own race.

Championship after Round 4

Four rounds run, best three counting, and the drop has quietly rewritten the leaderboard: Charlie Kleinhagen's C4 heads it on 280 from three outings, all of them top five, which is the most quietly effective run in the class. Chris Camara's 366 from four starts and a best finish of fourth is only good for second, with Chris Gross third on 358, because the weakest round each of them is carrying no longer counts. Behind that the pattern repeats - Orlando Martinez on 200 with two wins from two starts, Hendrick Westmoreland on 196 with a win of his own, and both of them eighty-odd points adrift purely because they have been to half the meetings. James Dewild's debut win and the 96s for Dennis Keith and Mark Beach are worth admiring and nothing more until they come back. Two dates remain and there is only ever one discard in this series, so the drivers carrying a soft round - Gross's 86 this time out - have already had the only relief they are going to get.

Seeding comes from the qualifying run, not from one fast lap: most laps wins, and on equal laps the quicker time wins. Every figure in a row describes that one run — the driver’s best completed qualifier — rather than their best lap from one heat and their best average from another. Heats are not raced against each other, so a heat win is not a class result.

    A-main P1 · qualified P1 · qual best lap 14.213 · 97.96% qual cons · 21 laps · fast 14.342 · 93.35% cons

    Twenty-one laps in Q2, and then 21 again in the A - the first 21-lap main this class has seen all season. Qualifying consistency of 97.96% off a 14.213 describes a car flatly on rails, and the only blemish was a Q3 that returned no time at all, the second blank session on his sheet this year. He turned the rest of it into 5:11.682 at a 15.402 average and a 93.35% consistency figure that barely moved from the afternoon. A hundred points, a second win from three starts, and the quickest lap anybody in the class turned all night.

    A-main P2 · qualified P3 · qual best lap 15.057 · 91.44% qual cons · 20 laps · fast 14.916 · 93.54% cons

    Three qualifiers, three runs of 19 laps, three second places, and 94.77% consistency that hardly flinched when the points arrived - 93.54% and 20 laps in the A. There is not a loose number anywhere on the card, and it has now produced 96 points twice in two starts, both times from the same seat directly behind somebody else. A hundred and ninety-two in the championship for a driver who has never finished worse than second and has still not seen the top step.

    The last time he ran a main in this class the consistency column read 49.36%; tonight it read 95.82%, the highest of the eight and the steadiest main this class has produced all season. Everything else followed it - 19 laps in 5:05.773, a 15.708 fast lap, a 16.686 average - out of a car that had only qualified seventh on pace with a Q3 that stopped after 12 laps. Ninety-four points, a first podium in the class, and 184 from two starts.

    A-main P4 · qualified P4 · qual best lap 15.513 · 91.65% qual cons · 19 laps · fast 15.224 · 87.25% cons

    Eighteen laps, 18 laps and 18 laps, exactly the qualifying he brought in June, and this time it was worth third on pace with a 14.995. The main was the loose part: 19 laps again, two seconds quicker than his June run, but 87.25% consistency where that one gave him 95.67%, and the average nearly half a second adrift of the car directly in front of him. Ninety-two points, 188 from two starts, and a best finish of second still standing.

  5. 5th

    A-main P5 · qualified P5 · qual best lap 15.586 · 91.84% qual cons · 18 laps · fast 15.943 · 88.84% cons

    A 15.586 is the quickest he has qualified all season and it moved him precisely nowhere - sixth on pace, 18 laps at 88.84% in the A, 90 points. That is five rounds out of five in which he has banked 90 or better without once finishing higher than fourth. It is also why he goes home on top of the championship: the man simply keeps turning up.

    A-main P6 · qualified P8 · qual best lap 15.887 · 86.99% qual cons · 17 laps · fast 16.171 · 91.81% cons

    Bottom of the pace sheet on fastest lap with a 15.887, 89.26% consistency, and 16 laps in all three qualifiers for good measure. The A was rather better than that advertised - 17 laps at 91.81%, a steadier run than three of the cars that beat him home. Eighty-eight points, five starts from five rounds, and in this class that is worth more than a fast lap is.

    A-main P7 · qualified P2 · qual best lap 14.809 · 92.23% qual cons · 12 laps · fast 15.193 · 90.93% cons

    Second on pace with a 14.809 and the top run of Q3, 19 laps in 5:05.881 after a Q1 that lasted only 4:30.128 - the afternoon was shaping into a podium. The A said 12 laps and 3:06.183 instead, and the cruel part is how good the numbers inside that short run were: a 15.193, a 16.535 average and 90.93% consistency. Eighty-six points from an evening built for a great deal more, and 180 in the table from two visits.

  8. 8th
    Keeron Ward 84 pts
    A-main P8 · qualified P6 · qual best lap 15.108 · 88.14% qual cons · 9 laps · fast 18.001 · 82.02% cons

    First outing since the April opener and he came back the better part of two seconds quicker over a lap - a 15.108 against the 16.965 of the spring - building through the day to an 18-lap Q3 that is comfortably his best run in this class. The main declined to follow: nine laps in 2:56.668, an 18.001 best nearly three seconds off his own qualifying pace, 82.02% consistency. Eighty-four points, and a lap time that says the pace has come on a long way since April even if the A-main kept it to itself.

This list runs in overall order rather than by main — the A-main, then the B, then the C, as one continuous run — and a driver who bumped up appears once in it, at the better of his two finishes. The table above has each main as its own race.

Championship after Round 5

Eight cars out, the biggest field this class has had since the April opener, and Hendrick Westmoreland took it apart with 21 laps in the A - no main in this class had gone past 20 before tonight. Five rounds run and best four counting, which leaves Chris Camara on top with 456 from five starts and one of his two 90s quietly set aside, and Chris Gross second on 446 with the 86 he collected in July no longer doing any work. Chris Camara has never finished better than fourth and Chris Gross never better than third; what they have both done is turn up five times out of five, and in this series that is the whole trick. Hendrick Westmoreland's 296 from three starts is third and discards nothing at all, the C4 car holds fourth on 280 without racing tonight, and Dennis Keith on 192, Mark Beach on 188 and Josh Strumillo on 184 are the two-start drivers stacking up behind them. One date left, on 3 October, and everybody carrying five starts has already had the only discard this series hands out.

Six race dates with your best five counting, scored exactly like Winning Wednesday — the drop comes in one result at a time as the season goes, matching the track’s own standings sheet, and right now that is one result coming off — the full allowance for the season. The Dropped column shows what it costs each driver. A dot is a round the class did not run; a dash is a round the driver missed.

Every figure in a row describes that one run — the driver’s best completed qualifier — rather than their best lap from one heat and their best average from another. Heats are not raced against each other, so a heat win is not a class result.

    A-main P1 · qualified P3 · qual best lap 17.266 · 91.55% qual cons · 17 laps · fast 16.623 · 91.12% cons

    Third on outright pace behind two drivers who would both go home without a main-event time, which is the kind of luck you still have to convert. He converted: 17 laps in 5:05.960, a 16.623 that beat his own qualifying best by nearly four tenths, and a 17.969 average almost a second sharper than the 18.816 he had been running all afternoon. Winning the opener by getting quicker when the lights went green is a tidy way to start a championship.

    A-main P2 · qualified P7 · qual best lap 17.727 · 88.61% qual cons · 16 laps · fast 18.100 · 94.13% cons

    Qualifying said sixth quickest and the second-worst consistency in the class at 89.05%, so the 94.13% he posted in the A is a genuinely different truck. Note that his best main-event lap, 18.100, was actually slower than his 17.727 from qualifying - he did not find speed, he stopped losing it. Sixteen laps and 96 points collected almost entirely by refusing to make a mess.

    A-main P3 · qualified P4 · qual best lap 18.369 · 93.25% qual cons · 15 laps · fast 18.143 · 90.23% cons

    The best consistency figure in qualifying belonged to him, 93.25%, and it did not survive contact with the main: 90.23% and an average lap that swelled from 19.980 to 21.113. Fifteen laps was still enough to hold off Rima by under four seconds. Ninety-four points for a run that got scruffier as it went without ever coming apart.

  4. 4th
    Russell Rima 92 pts
    A-main P4 · qualified P6 · qual best lap 18.978 · 91.24% qual cons · 15 laps · fast 18.236 · 86.65% cons

    He was seventh of eight on pace with an 18.554 and never bettered 15 laps in any qualifier, so being on the same lap as Spears at the flag counts as a result. The 86.65% consistency in the A, down from 91.24%, suggests he was hanging on rather than cruising. Ninety-two points, earned the uncomfortable way.

  5. 5th
    Terry Gile 90 pts
    A-main P5 · qualified P8 · qual best lap 19.213 · 87.24% qual cons · 14 laps · fast 18.900 · 86.64% cons

    Slowest on pace by more than six tenths, a 23.578 qualifying average that was three seconds off anybody else's, and a Q3 that produced no time at all - the afternoon offered nothing. Then the A arrived and he trimmed the average to 22.752 off an 18.900 best, his quickest lap of the day by three tenths, and got 14 laps done. A rough one, improved on at the only point where improving mattered.

  6. 6th
    Chris Gross 88 pts
    A-main P6 · qualified P5 · qual best lap 17.968 · 91.32% qual cons · 7 laps · fast 17.812 · 87.20% cons

    Fourth on pace and P3 in Q1 made him a plausible podium car, and then the A turned into seven laps in 5:20.658, which is a truck sitting still for most of a five-minute race. What laps he did complete were decent - a 17.812 and a 20.318 average, marginally better than his qualifying number. Eighty-eight points from a night that was going somewhere before it stopped.

  7. 7th
    Conner Herrick 86 pts
    A-main P7 · qualified P1 · qual best lap 16.235 · 92.75% qual cons

    Nobody in the building was close to this on pace: a 16.235 best, a 17.470 average that was a full second clear of second place, 92.75% consistency, wins in Q2 and Q3 and 18 laps in the last of them - the biggest lap count anybody managed all day. The A then returned no time whatsoever. Eighty-six points is a brutal exchange rate for the quickest truck at the track, and it all still counts.

  8. 8th
    Henry Ballew 84 pts
    A-main P8 · qualified P2 · qual best lap 16.667 · 91.33% qual cons

    A 16.667 put him second on pace and 17 laps in Q3 backed it up, which made his Q1 - seventh, 14 laps - look like the outlier rather than the form. The main then produced no recorded time, so the evidence stops there. Eighty-four points, and the only consolation is that the quickest driver in the class had exactly the same evening.

This list runs in overall order rather than by main — the A-main, then the B, then the C, as one continuous run — and a driver who bumped up appears once in it, at the better of his two finishes. The table above has each main as its own race.

Championship after Round 1

Eight trucks, one main, and the points fell in exactly the order the A finished - Vance takes 100 from Sam Bredernitz on 96 and Spears on 94. The uncomfortable detail is at the bottom: Conner Herrick and Henry Ballew, the two quickest drivers in the building on pace, sit seventh and eighth on 86 and 84 after neither recorded a main-event time. Everybody has one start and nobody has anything to defend yet. There is exactly one round of slack available across the whole summer and it does not arrive until Round 3, so nobody has spent it or dropped anything yet.

Through Round 1 the drop rule has nothing to take away yet, so both columns match.

Seeding comes from the qualifying run, not from one fast lap: most laps wins, and on equal laps the quicker time wins. Every figure in a row describes that one run — the driver’s best completed qualifier — rather than their best lap from one heat and their best average from another. Heats are not raced against each other, so a heat win is not a class result.

    A-main P1 · qualified P1 · qual best lap 17.161 · 94.10% qual cons · 17 laps · fast 16.504 · 91.89% cons

    Three qualifiers, three wins, 17 laps twice, a 16.646 best and 94.10% consistency - with a four-car class there is no heat split to hide behind, so that was simply the fastest truck present by a distance. He then went a little quicker again in the A, a 16.504 and 17.928 average for 17 laps in 5:05.099. Total control, start to finish.

  2. 2nd
    Chris Gross 96 pts
    A-main P2 · qualified P2 · qual best lap 17.382 · 91.60% qual cons · 15 laps · fast 17.562 · 87.79% cons

    Second in every single qualifier and third on pace by 47 thousandths of a second, which is close enough to be a rounding error rather than a gap. The A cost him some polish - 87.79% against 91.60% in qualifying, and the average lap out to 20.603 - but 15 laps and a clean run to second is 96 points. Consistent to the point of being predictable, which is a compliment here.

    A-main P3 · qualified P3 · qual best lap 17.592 · 86.15% qual cons · 15 laps · fast 17.123 · 84.58% cons

    His 17.335 ranked second on outright pace, though it is worth saying his Q3 lasted two laps and 53.689, which is not a sample anybody should be drawing conclusions from. The main is where it unravelled: 84.58% consistency, the lowest of the four, and a 21.276 average despite a 17.123 best that was his quickest lap of the night. One good lap and fourteen arguments.

  4. 4th
    Henry Ballew 92 pts
    A-main P4 · qualified P4 · qual best lap 18.557 · 87.86% qual cons · 13 laps · fast 18.780 · 85.88% cons

    Q1 stopped at 10 laps and 4:07.491, then he built it back to 14 and 15, which is the right shape for a meeting even if the 87.86% consistency stayed stubborn. The A did not reward the trend: 13 laps, an 18.780 best and a 24.039 average, nearly three seconds a lap adrift of Spears in front. Ninety-two points, and in a four-car class that is the floor rather than a disaster.

This list runs in overall order rather than by main — the A-main, then the B, then the C, as one continuous run — and a driver who bumped up appears once in it, at the better of his two finishes. The table above has each main as its own race.

Championship after Round 2

Half the class stayed home and the championship reshaped itself around the four who did not - Sam Bredernitz leads on 196 from Spears on 188, Gross on 184 and Ballew on 176, all with two starts. Jagger Vance's opening win still sits there on 100, but it is now a lone score on one start, and Rima, Gile and Herrick are in the same position further down. Bredernitz has been on the podium twice and has now put a win next to his opening second. The single drop this series allows does not arrive until Round 3, so nothing has come off anybody's card yet. The blunt reading after two rounds is that showing up is worth more points than being fast.

Through Round 2 the drop rule has nothing to take away yet, so both columns match.

    Winning Q2 and Q3 with 16 laps apiece and topping the pace sheet on a 16.783 was already his best qualifying of the series, and the main was better still - 17 laps in 5:17.097, consistency up to 92.28% and the average lap down to 18.478 from 19.091. That is a truck getting more dialled as the night went on rather than less. A first win of the summer, and it was never in question.

    A-main P2 · qualified P4 · qual best lap 17.726 · 70.61% qual cons · 16 laps · fast 16.625 · 88.14% cons

    The qualifying programme was a shambles: 13 laps, then five laps and 1:35.291, then no time at all in Q3. What makes it interesting is that the fragments he did run averaged 19.058, the quickest average of anybody there. He proved the point in the A with a 16.625 - the fastest lap turned by any driver in any session all round - and 16 laps for 96 points from a meeting that gave him almost no track time.

  3. 3rd
    Russell Rima 94 pts
    A-main P3 · qualified P2 · qual best lap 16.889 · 86.85% qual cons · 16 laps · fast 17.457 · 93.71% cons

    Top of Q1 and second on pace at 16.889, but 89.28% was the scrappiest consistency figure of the four and the 20.035 average told the same story. Then he flipped it entirely: 93.71% in the A, the best number in the race, an average trimmed by nearly nine tenths, and 16 laps finishing three seconds behind Gross. Ninety-four points for the most improved driver in the building.

  4. 4th
    Albert Bredernitz 92 pts
    A-main P4 · qualified P3 · qual best lap 17.888 · 90.96% qual cons · 13 laps · fast 19.779 · 86.41% cons

    A first appearance in the class that went about as well as first appearances go - 13 laps and 4:23.816 in Q1, then 15 laps in each of the next two, with a respectable 91.43% consistency for a driver learning the place. The A was the harder lesson: 13 laps, a 19.779 best nearly two seconds off his own qualifying pace, and 86.41% consistency. Ninety-two points banked on debut, which beats the alternative.

This list runs in overall order rather than by main — the A-main, then the B, then the C, as one continuous run — and a driver who bumped up appears once in it, at the better of his two finishes. The table above has each main as its own race.

Championship after Round 3

The drop arrives with this round - three run, best two counting - and it keeps Sam Bredernitz on top with 196 from two perfect starts. Chris Gross is second on 280 without having won a single round, which is what three starts and finishes of P6, P2 and P2 will do for you. Ballew is third on 276 having taken maximum points tonight, and he has the same three starts as Gross, so this is now a genuine fight rather than an attendance table. Spears is fourth on 188 and Russell Rima fifth on 186, both from two outings. Albert Bredernitz enters the standings on 92 from his debut. From here only a driver's best results count - and a 96 and two lower rounds is a much better base than one big result and a gap.

    Q1 produced nothing at all, which makes what followed slightly absurd: 15 laps in Q2, then 17 laps in Q3, the biggest run of the day, on the best average lap in the class (18.270) and a 93.64% consistency to match. His 16.893 was only fourth quickest outright, and it did not matter one bit - 17 laps in 5:02.073 in the A and 100 points on his first outing. Metronomic beats spiky, and it was not close.

    Topping Q1 with 16 laps and sitting second on pace at 16.665 made him the obvious favourite, and he did match Leibman's 17 laps in the A. He was also 11.8 seconds behind him at the flag, with consistency down from 91.15% to 89.24%. Ninety-six points and a genuinely quick truck that just could not answer the one that was quicker.

    A-main P3 · qualified P2 · qual best lap 16.740 · 92.62% qual cons · 16 laps · fast 17.247 · 86.97% cons

    A 92.62% consistency in qualifying bettered only by Leibman's 93.64%, a Q2 win and 16-lap runs in two of the three sessions - the form was there. It left him in the main, where 86.97% and a 19.883 average put him a lap down on the win with the same 16 laps he had been managing all day. Ninety-four points from a truck that qualified like a winner and raced like a third-place car.

  4. 4th

    A-main P4 · qualified P4 · qual best lap 18.506 · 88.12% qual cons · 15 laps · fast 18.584 · 85.73% cons

    The 16.098 was the fastest lap anyone in the class turned all day, over half a second clear of the next best, and the 20.926 average sitting behind it tells you it was one lap rather than a rhythm. Q3 lasted two laps and 50.744, so there was not much to build on either. In the A the best he could find was an 18.584 with consistency down to 85.73% - 15 laps, 92 points, and a truck that clearly had more in it than it ever showed at once.

  5. 5th

    A-main P5 · qualified P5 · qual best lap 18.702 · 91.86% qual cons · 14 laps · fast 17.731 · 89.73% cons

    Bottom of the pace sheet by over a second and a half with an 18.702, and a qualifying programme that wandered between 14, 11 and 14 laps without ever looking settled. The main was comfortably his best work of the day: a 17.731, nearly a full second inside his qualifying best, consistency up to 89.73% and 14 laps completed. Ninety points, and the second start of his summer was a clear step on from the first.

  6. 6th
    Chris Gross 88 pts
    A-main P6 · qualified P6 · qual best lap 17.178 · -3.51% qual cons · 14 laps · fast 17.402 · 86.77% cons

    His Q2 lasted exactly one lap, which is a data point rather than a drive - across all three sessions he managed 16 laps total. Given that, getting a full 14 laps done in the A off a 17.402 was the useful part of the day. Eighty-eight points, sixth on the road, and still third in the championship, which says plenty about turning up.

This list runs in overall order rather than by main — the A-main, then the B, then the C, as one continuous run — and a driver who bumped up appears once in it, at the better of his two finishes. The table above has each main as its own race.

Championship after Round 4

Four rounds run and only best three counting, which is the one thing standing between Chris Gross and the championship lead: four starts, no wins, 368 points on the raw sheet and third place once his weakest round comes off. Ahead of him it is congested and it is all three-start drivers - Sam Bredernitz on 292, Spears on 282, then Gross, then Rima on 278 and Ballew on 276, the lot of them inside 16 points. Matt Leibman arrives, wins on debut and lands on 100, level with Jagger Vance's opening-round century. There is only ever one discard in this series and it has already been applied, so from here nothing else comes off - the empty rounds Gross's rivals are carrying stay empty. Being fast has been worth less than being present all summer, and it still is.

Each main is listed as its own race, from first, so the C, the B and the A each read the way they finished. The quickest lap of the round is highlighted. Overall is where that finish put a driver across the whole class, which is what the championship scores off. One fast lap here is not the one the timing printed. A transponder counted a lap twice, producing a time quicker than the class has ever gone from a run nowhere near that pace, so the figure shown is that driver’s quickest genuine lap of the run instead. Nothing else about it moves: the finish, the laps and time and the average are as they were raced.

    A-main P1 · qualified P1 · qual best lap 16.610 · 92.18% qual cons · 17 laps · fast 17.154 · 89.20% cons

    Top of all three qualifiers, a 16.610 that led the pace sheet by eight tenths and 92.18% consistency sitting behind it - the afternoon was a formality. The A was less serene than that suggests: consistency down to 89.20%, the average lap out to 19.475 from 18.498 and a 17.154 best that never got near his own qualifying pace. It still returned 17 laps in 5:16.050 when nobody else in the race managed more than 16. A second win of the summer, collected without ever looking like it was in doubt.

    A-main P2 · qualified P3 · qual best lap 17.563 · 89.45% qual cons · 16 laps · fast 17.443 · 81.47% cons

    His Q2 lasted eight laps and 3:11.515, and it is a measure of his summer that this counts as a productive session. Second, third and fourth on the pace sheet were covered by just over a tenth of a second and he was the last of the three, which set up exactly the night he keeps having - 16 laps, a 17.443 best and another second place. The 81.47% consistency is the strange figure, nine points down on his qualifying number and the messiest race he has driven all season, and it changed absolutely nothing about where he finished.

    A-main P3 · qualified P5 · qual best lap 17.431 · 83.12% qual cons · 15 laps · fast 17.541 · 79.22% cons

    Second on pace at 17.431 off three tidy qualifiers of 14, 15 and 15 laps, and none of it made the trip to the main. Consistency fell from 89.34% to 79.22% and the average lap grew by better than a second to 22.272, which is the signature of a good lap followed by an argument. Fifteen laps and 94 points from a race he had to wrestle rather than drive.

    A-main P4 · qualified P2 · qual best lap 17.499 · 28.32% qual cons · 14 laps · fast 17.849 · 40.89% cons

    Nine laps in Q1, then 15 in each of the next two for second place in both, and third on outright pace at 17.499 - comfortably his best qualifying in three starts. Then the A-main sheet: 14 laps, a 30.675 average and 40.89% consistency, which is the number you get when one enormous lap swallows an entire run - two of them, in fact, a 73 and a 55. The timing also credited him with a 14.894 wedged between them, quicker than anything anyone has turned in this class all season and 2.6 seconds under his own best; it was reviewed and thrown out as a transponder reading twice, so the 17.849 shown is the quickest lap he actually drove. Ninety-two points, and the qualifying half of his evening was genuinely good.

    A-main P5 · qualified P6 · qual best lap 20.228 · 88.26% qual cons · 12 laps · fast 19.851 · 74.72% cons

    A first outing in the class that opened with eight laps in Q1 and built to 12 and then 13, which is the right direction even if a 19.955 left him last on pace. The main brought 12 laps in 5:03.238 and a 19.851 best, a whisker inside his qualifying pace, off a 26.839 average that says truck and driver were still getting acquainted. Ninety points banked on debut, which is a perfectly respectable place to start from.

  6. 6th
    Chuck Burns 88 pts
    ranked on qualifying · qualified P4 · qual best lap 18.324 · 87.05% qual cons

    P3 in Q2 with 15 laps was his best run of the day, enough to put him fifth on the pace sheet at 18.324, though Q3 produced no time at all. He does not appear in the A-main results, so the night is scored on the qualifying he did - sixth overall and 88 points, every one of them earned before the racing started.

This list runs in overall order rather than by main — the A-main, then the B, then the C, as one continuous run — and a driver who bumped up appears once in it, at the better of his two finishes. The table above has each main as its own race.

Championship after Round 5

Five rounds down, best four counting, and Chris Gross is the only driver in the class to have started all five - which makes him the only one with anything to throw away. His 464 on the raw sheet becomes 376 once his weakest 88 comes off, and that is second, 16 behind Sam Bredernitz, who has four starts, four scores and nothing to discard on 392. Henry Ballew is third on 370 from his own four outings, with Steve Spears (282), Russell Rima (278) and Albert Bredernitz (274) lined up behind him on three starts apiece. Jax Bredernitz joins the table on 90 from his debut, level with Terry Gile. And then there is Chuck Burns, who did the qualifying, earned himself a grid slot and then let the A-main go ahead without him - 88 points for an afternoon's work and an early night, which is quite possibly the best hourly rate anybody has managed in this class all summer.

Seeding comes from the qualifying run, not from one fast lap: most laps wins, and on equal laps the quicker time wins. Every figure in a row describes that one run — the driver’s best completed qualifier — rather than their best lap from one heat and their best average from another. Heats are not raced against each other, so a heat win is not a class result.

    A-main P1 · qualified P1 · qual best lap 14.110 · 91.27% qual cons

    One car was entered in this class and one car collected the hundred points, with the results sheet declining to record a single lap, time or consistency figure to go alongside it. There is nothing here to pick apart and no sense pretending otherwise - what there is, is the maximum score available on the opening date, banked in full at the first time of asking. In a championship that keeps five rounds out of six, a clean hundred is the most useful thing anybody can be carrying around.

This list runs in overall order rather than by main — the A-main, then the B, then the C, as one continuous run — and a driver who bumped up appears once in it, at the better of his two finishes. The table above has each main as its own race.

Championship after Round 1

A class of exactly one is less a race than a formality, and Nick Gibson duly leaves the opening date with the full hundred and a championship lead of precisely one hundred points, on the grounds that nobody else has scored any. The standings run to a single line, which is either the most dominant position in the series or the loneliest one, depending entirely on how you hold it up to the light. What it is not is decisive: five dates remain on the calendar, a class that draws one entry at the first meeting can draw eight at the next, and a hundred points is a cushion rather than a trophy. The scoring keeps a driver's best five rounds from six, so this is one score of a possible six and nothing has been set aside from anybody's total - there is nothing yet to set aside. For now the Mod 2wd championship is a one-man list, and the only claim anybody can make about it is that he turned up.

Through Round 1 the drop rule has nothing to take away yet, so both columns match.

    A-main P1 · qualified P1 · qual best lap 14.583 · 97.81% qual cons · 20 laps · fast 14.617 · 95.69% cons

    A 97.81% consistency figure over three qualifiers is not driving so much as it is a machine impersonating a driver, and it came with the biggest run of the day attached - 21 laps in Q1 - plus a 14.986 average nobody else got near. He gave a little of it back in the A, 95.69%, which was still the best number in the race. Twenty laps in 5:03.388 for the maximum, and he was never in trouble at any point.

    A-main P2 · qualified P2 · qual best lap 14.158 · 92.54% qual cons · 20 laps · fast 14.204 · 93.15% cons

    Q3 lasted two laps and 1:56.790, which is a session that has gone badly wrong, and he still came out top of the pace sheet on a 14.158 off the back of 20-lap runs in the other two. In the main he was within a twentieth of that pace again - a 14.204 that was the fastest lap of the A-main - and his 15.156 average was a whisker inside the winner's 15.170, which makes the 3.6-second deficit at the flag genuinely annoying. A driver with plenty of laps at other tracks this year, and it shows in how little he wasted.

    A-main P3 · qualified P4 · qual best lap 15.361 · 90.06% qual cons · 19 laps · fast 15.615 · 92.67% cons

    Nothing on his qualifying sheet moved: 18 laps, 18 laps, 18 laps, third on pace with a 15.178 and a perfectly reasonable 93.40% for his trouble. The main was where he added something, finding a nineteenth lap and trimming a quarter of a second off his average, which was exactly enough - he beat Moyer to the last podium place by 0.664 seconds. Ninety-four points won inside two thirds of a second.

    A-main P4 · qualified P3 · qual best lap 15.350 · 95.24% qual cons · 19 laps · fast 15.858 · 94.86% cons

    The slowest best lap of the four, a 15.350, came attached to the second-best consistency figure in the class at 96.13% - the profile of a driver with no top end who makes no mistakes either. Q3 stopping at nine laps did not seem to cost him anything: 19 laps in the A at 94.86%, the second-tidiest run in the race. The margin to third was 0.664 seconds, so this was a long way from a quiet fourth.

This list runs in overall order rather than by main — the A-main, then the B, then the C, as one continuous run — and a driver who bumped up appears once in it, at the better of his two finishes. The table above has each main as its own race.

Championship after Round 3

This class finally appeared on the program and immediately delivered the closest racing of the day, with 0.664 seconds separating third from fourth and the top two both on 20 laps. Nick Gibson leads the championship on 196, because he is the only man here who was also on the sheet in April; behind him Jake Stoeltzing has 100 from tonight's win, Teagan Cummings 94 and Kevin Moyer 92, one start apiece. The more awkward number is one: that is how many of the six scheduled dates have gone by without this class on the program at all, and three of these four are carrying a blank from the opener on top of it. Only one result ever comes off in this series, so exactly one of those gaps can eventually be absorbed and the rest cannot, which quietly makes every remaining start worth more than usual. The drop arrives with this round, but nobody here holds more than two scores, so it has nothing to take.

    Twenty-one laps in Q1 and 21 again in Q2 rather settled the argument, and a 13.658 best with a 14.560 average made him quickest on every measure that counts. The A was more of the same - 21 laps, a 13.570 that only Hicklin got anywhere near, and an average lap under 15 seconds. Consistency dipped to 92.13% from 94.58%, which is the only imperfection on offer. A hundred points, and the drive of a racer who has clearly been getting plenty of runs in elsewhere.

    The 21-lap Q3 matched the biggest qualifying run anybody managed, and it capped a meeting that went 19, 20, 21 in a very deliberate direction. His 13.662 in the main was 92 thousandths off the fastest lap of the race, so on outright speed there was almost nothing between him and the winner - 90.89% consistency against Gibson's 92.13% is where the 20-lap finish came from. Ninety-six points, and the gap is small enough to be worth arguing about.

    A-main P3 · qualified P3 · qual best lap 14.710 · 89.79% qual cons · 19 laps · fast 14.645 · 87.76% cons

    Seventeen, then 18, then 19 laps - the qualifying sheet reads like somebody working out a setup in public, even if an 89.79% consistency figure was the scruffiest of the three. He carried the trend into the A with 19 laps and a 14.645, his quickest lap of the day, if only by 65 thousandths. Consistency slid again to 87.76%, so the pace is arriving faster than the polish, but 94 points in a three-car class with this much speed in it is honest work.

This list runs in overall order rather than by main — the A-main, then the B, then the C, as one continuous run — and a driver who bumped up appears once in it, at the better of his two finishes. The table above has each main as its own race.

Championship after Round 4

Nick Gibson is the only driver in this class with more than one start to his name, and 296 points from a win, a second and another win puts him 196 clear at the top - a lead built as much on turning up three times as on being fast. Jake Stoeltzing sits second on 100 from his single win and did not appear tonight, so his championship is currently one perfect night and a lot of empty space. Noah Hicklin arrives on 96 and Joe Duffy on 94, the latter level with Teagan Cummings and two clear of Kevin Moyer, none of whom have raced more than once. Three cars is a thin entry, but a 21-lap winner and a 20-lap runner-up split by nine hundredths on fastest lap is not a thin race. Three of the four run dates have featured this class, and with four rounds gone only a driver's best three count - but Gibson has exactly three scores and everybody else has one, so nobody here discards anything, and a missed round still counts as the emptiest score of all.

    Topping all three qualifiers is one thing; doing it with a 22-lap run in Q3 and a 98.73% consistency figure is a driver operating on a different setting entirely, and the 13.333 that came with it is the quickest lap this class has recorded all series. He took the 22 laps into the A as well, on a 14.084 average that was just under half a second a lap better than the only other car on the track. He races at other tracks alongside this series, and it shows in a car that turned up dialed and never came off the boil. A hundred points, and not one nervous moment attached to them.

    The 13.413 he threw down in the main is the quickest lap he has turned in this series, which on any other night would be the headline and on this one bought him nothing. Qualifying is where it went: 21, 21 and 20 laps is perfectly decent work, but 87.97% across the three says there was a big lap sitting in the middle of it, and a 14.830 average against Hicklin's 13.945 is most of a second a lap handed over before the main had even started. He cleaned it up properly in the A - 92.86%, 21 laps, a fastest lap 49 thousandths off the winner's - and still went a lap down, because outright speed and a rhythm are two different purchases. Ninety-six points, and the speed is plainly there.

This list runs in overall order rather than by main — the A-main, then the B, then the C, as one continuous run — and a driver who bumped up appears once in it, at the better of his two finishes. The table above has each main as its own race.

Championship after Round 5

Two cars came out for Mod 2wd, and between them they put the three quickest laps this class has recorded all series on the board, which takes most of the sting out of anything anybody wants to say about the entry list. Noah Hicklin swept all three qualifiers, took the A on 22 laps and doubles his tally to 196 points from two starts; Nick Gibson banks 96 for second and moves to 392 from four, still the only driver here to have raced more than twice. Nothing behind them changed, because nobody behind them was here - Jake Stoeltzing stays on 100, Joe Duffy and Teagan Cummings on 94 apiece, Kevin Moyer on 92, every one of those totals earned on a single appearance. Five of the six dates have now been run and a driver's best four count, but Gibson has exactly four scores and everybody else has fewer, so not a single point has been set aside from anyone's total yet. One date is left on the calendar, and a two-car race that produced a 22-lap winner and a 21-lap runner-up separated by 49 thousandths on fastest lap is not one anybody needs to apologise for.

    Twenty-one laps, then 22, then 22 again - a qualifying sheet that never once went backwards, topped off by a 13.961 average that was nearly four tenths a lap clear of anybody else in the class. The A produced a twenty-third lap, more than he had managed in any qualifier, and a 13.182 that was the quickest lap of the night. Consistency slid from 94.93% to 92.56% along the way, which is the sort of trade you take every time when the payoff is a whole extra lap, and the laps he has put in at other tracks this year were plainly not wasted.

    The fastest-lap margin in the A came to 74 thousandths - 13.256 against 13.182 - and, in a coincidence too neat to leave alone, his average lap was adrift by exactly the same 0.074. That is a much smaller gap than the 0.378 that separated the two averages in qualifying, so whatever he changed between the sessions worked, and his consistency climbed from 92.11% to 93.10% rather than falling away like the winner's did. Twenty-two laps, a lap up on his best qualifying run, and 96 points that were closer to 100 than the finishing order suggests.

  3. 3rd
    Joe Duffy 94 pts
    A-main P3 · qualified P3 · qual best lap 14.159 · 91.99% qual cons

    One complete run all day - 20 laps in Q2 - and it was decent work: a 14.159 best and a 91.99% consistency figure a tenth of a point shy of Gibson's, even if the 15.090 average was over a second a lap off the pace. The rest of the sheet is wreckage. No time recorded at all in Q1, five laps and 1:19.131 before Q3 ended early, and then an A-main that never produced a lap. Ninety-four points go in the column regardless, which is the quiet virtue of turning up.

This list runs in overall order rather than by main — the A-main, then the B, then the C, as one continuous run — and a driver who bumped up appears once in it, at the better of his two finishes. The table above has each main as its own race.

Championship after Round 4

One race in and the championship table is simply the A-main written out again: Noah Hicklin on 100, Nick Gibson on 96, Joe Duffy on 94, a single start apiece and six points covering the entire class. The number worth staring at is not on that list, though - it is three, as in the number of dates already run without this class appearing on the program, so every driver here is carrying blanks rather than bad nights. Best five of six is a generous rule when you have six scores and one stinker among them; it is considerably less generous when the gaps are the problem, because a round you never entered is the emptiest score available and only one of them can ever be waved away. On track there is no complaint to make at all: 23 laps for the win, 22 for second, and 74 thousandths between the two quickest laps of the night. Duffy's lapless main is the one line anybody would want back, and with a single start apiece there is nothing here for the drop to take away.

Seeding comes from the qualifying run, not from one fast lap: most laps wins, and on equal laps the quicker time wins. Every figure in a row describes that one run — the driver’s best completed qualifier — rather than their best lap from one heat and their best average from another. Heats are not raced against each other, so a heat win is not a class result.

    Beaten to the quickest qualifying lap for the first time in this class - 13.212 against Nick Gibson's 13.133 - and none of it mattered, because the 13.905 average underneath was the better number and the A-main is where averages get paid. Twenty-three laps again, but this time in 5:07.452, a full eight seconds quicker over the same distance than the July win, with the average lap down again to 13.819. The 95.29% consistency is the best he has posted in this class, set in the session where it is hardest to hold, and his 13.294 was the quickest lap anybody in this class turned in the A. Two starts, two wins, and the mileage he has banked at HobbyPlex and Trackside Hobbies & Raceway is doing visible work.

    A-main P2 · qualified P2 · qual best lap 13.133 · 91.80% qual cons · 22 laps · fast 13.357 · 86.66% cons

    A 13.133 in qualifying, the quickest lap anybody in this class turned all night, 22 laps in Q1 and 22 more in Q3 where 1.449 seconds was the whole of what stood between him and Noah Hicklin's time - the speed was never the problem. The A was: consistency fell away from 94.72% to 86.66% and the average lap swelled seven tenths to 14.693, which is the signature of a run with a couple of very expensive laps buried in it rather than one that was simply slow. He still put 22 on the board and 96 in the points column, a lap adrift at the flag, and stays second in the championship by eight.

    A-main P3 · qualified P3 · qual best lap 15.207 · 93.28% qual cons · 18 laps · fast 15.048 · 83.95% cons

    First start of the series, and it opened with the best run of his day - 18 laps in Q1 - before two 17-lap qualifiers declined to match it. The A handed the 18 back, along with a 15.048 that was quicker than anything he had shown in qualifying, though 83.95% consistency suggests those laps arrived in a decent assortment of sizes. Ninety-four points, in a class where the two ahead of him spent the afternoon trading 13.2s, is a perfectly good day's work from a driver who also races at HobbyPlex.

    A-main P4 · qualified P4 · qual best lap 15.435 · 87.64% qual cons · 17 laps · fast 16.224 · 86.46% cons

    Q3 never produced a time at all, which left a 17-lap Q1 and a 17-lap Q2 finishing 0.337 apart as the entire qualifying case - and as matched pairs go, that one is hard to argue with. The A stayed on 17 laps while everything else went backwards: a 16.224 best against the 15.435 he had already shown, and a 19.373 average nearly a second and a half off his own qualifying figure. Ninety-two points for taking the start and getting to the flag, which remains the only way anybody scores anything.

This list runs in overall order rather than by main — the A-main, then the B, then the C, as one continuous run — and a driver who bumped up appears once in it, at the better of his two finishes. The table above has each main as its own race.

Championship after Round 5

Two starts each is all it has taken to make this a two-car championship: Noah Hicklin on 200, Nick Gibson on 192, a gap that is precisely what four points a round costs you when you finish second twice, and 98 points between Gibson and the next name on the list. That name is a tie - Charlie Hicklin and Joe Duffy on 94 apiece, one of them earned tonight and one back in July, with Josh Strumillo a further two behind on 92. The drop is live now that five dates have been run and a driver's best four scores count, and it does absolutely nothing to this table, because nobody in the class has enough starts to own a result worth throwing away - every total here is the raw one. The calendar is the real story: this class has only been on the program twice, and Noah Hicklin and Nick Gibson are the only drivers with two scores to their name. One date is left to run and eight points separate the top two, which is to say nothing at the front of this championship is settled.

    A-main P1 · qualified P1 · qual best lap 15.058 · 91.52% qual cons · 19 laps · fast 15.323 · 95.11% cons

    Nineteen laps in Q1, 19 in Q2, 19 in Q3, and then 19 more in the A - a whole meeting without a single deviation from the plan. Where he actually gained was in tidiness, 92.49% across the qualifiers becoming 95.11% in the race that counted, with his average lap holding at 16.281 and a 3.598-second win at the end of it. He never owned the fastest lap of the day and it cost him nothing, largely because the man who did own it never got a main-event lap on the board.

    A-main P2 · qualified P2 · qual best lap 15.550 · 95.21% qual cons · 19 laps · fast 15.739 · 96.94% cons

    A 96.94% consistency figure is the best number anyone in this class produced all night, and it turned up in the A-main, which is the hardest place to hold one. The catch is that metronomes still need a top end: a 15.739 best was four tenths off Schroeder's, the 16.430 average barely budged from his qualifying 16.410, and 19 laps in 5:12.222 left him 3.598 seconds short. Q3 packing up at 13 laps clearly did no lasting harm. Ninety-six points for a drive missing precisely one ingredient.

  3. 3rd
    Dennis Keith 94 pts
    A-main P3 · qualified P3 · qual best lap 15.750 · 88.08% qual cons · 18 laps · fast 15.907 · 89.97% cons

    Consistency of 89.86% in qualifying and 89.97% in the main is impressive in its own peculiar way - whatever he was doing, he did exactly the same amount of it twice. Pace rather than mistakes was the limit: a 15.907 best and a 17.246 average left him 0.965 adrift of the winner on average lap, and 18 laps to everyone else's 19 follows directly from that. He did add a lap to his Q1 and Q3 runs, which is the right direction of travel, and 94 points is a perfectly respectable opening entry.

This list runs in overall order rather than by main — the A-main, then the B, then the C, as one continuous run — and a driver who bumped up appears once in it, at the better of his two finishes. The table above has each main as its own race.

Championship after Round 1

Three cars on the sheet after one date and the table is simply the finishing order: Wayne Schroeder 100, Kevin Moyer 96, Dennis Keith 94. Six points cover the entire class, which is a scoring system behaving itself when everyone who starts also finishes. Schroeder's lead is built on the least dramatic evening imaginable, four consecutive 19-lap runs, and it is worth the maximum anyway; Moyer put in the tidiest drive of the night and still lost by three and a half seconds. One result comes off from Round 3 onwards and there is only ever the one, so all three will eventually get to throw a bad night away - but with a single score each there is nothing yet to throw. The gap at the top is a single finishing position wide, which is as open as a championship gets.

Through Round 1 the drop rule has nothing to take away yet, so both columns match.

    Eighteen laps three times in qualifying and 18 more in the A is steady enough, but the number that matters is 96.71% - the same driver came out of the April main on 89.97%, so that is the better part of seven points of consistency found in a month. His average lap came down to 16.723 and 18 laps in 5:02.047 is the sharpest run he has put together in this class. A first win, a hundred points, and the first man here to bank a second score.

    A-main P2 · qualified P2 · qual best lap 16.991 · 87.86% qual cons · 16 laps · fast 17.003 · 87.41% cons

    There is something reassuring about a qualifying line that reads 16 laps, 16 laps, 16 laps, and the 91.64% attached to it was actually a fraction better than the winner's qualifying figure. The main wobbled where the qualifiers had not: 87.41% consistency, an average lap drifting the wrong way to 18.958, and a 17.003 best that was nearly nine tenths off Keith's. He still put 16 laps on the board again, which in a two-car class is 96 points and a thoroughly decent way to open an account.

This list runs in overall order rather than by main — the A-main, then the B, then the C, as one continuous run — and a driver who bumped up appears once in it, at the better of his two finishes. The table above has each main as its own race.

Championship after Round 2

Two cars turned up where three had in April, and the man who was last on the pace sheet at the first meeting now leads the championship: Dennis Keith on 194 points from two starts. That lead is 94 clear of Wayne Schroeder, and the honest reading is that it is a lead built on attendance as much as speed - Schroeder, Kevin Moyer and Steve Spears have one start each, and Schroeder's 100 from Round 1 has now been matched by Keith's own maximum. Moyer and Spears sit level on 96 behind him, which is to say most of the class is separated by four points and a matter of who was free on which Saturday. Keith's own improvement is real enough to stand on its own, mind - 89.97% consistency in the April main became 96.71% in this one. With two scores on the board out of a possible six, nothing is being discarded yet, and a class this thin means the drivers who keep showing up will simply keep collecting.

Through Round 2 the drop rule has nothing to take away yet, so both columns match.

    The entry list for this one had a single name on it and the timing sheet has nothing at all sitting next to it - no laps, no fastest, no consistency, just the hundred points that come with being the only car in the class. Judge it on what it does rather than on how it looked, because what it does is considerable: a second maximum score from two starts, and the championship lead back in his hands on 200. Dennis Keith, who has also raced twice, is left six behind on 194, so the quietest evening of the season so far has flipped the most closely fought table in the series.

Championship after Round 3

One car, one hundred points, and a championship lead that changes hands without a wheel being turned in anger: Wayne Schroeder moves to 200 from two starts and back to the top of the table. Dennis Keith is the man displaced, six points adrift on 194 and also on two starts, which makes this the nearest thing to a genuine title fight the class has produced - Schroeder with two wins from two, Keith with a win and a third, and six points between them. Behind that pair, Kevin Moyer and Steve Spears sit level on 96 apiece from one outing each, and in a class whose entry has gone three, then two, then one, having started at all is worth more than it usually would be. Three of the six dates are gone, so the drop is now live - best two of three - but nobody holds more than two scores, so it has nothing to take. The uncomfortable summary is that the most reliable way to gain ground in this championship so far has been to be in the building.

    With Q1 producing no time at all, the two 12-lap runs in Q2 and Q3 had to carry the whole case for him, and a 19.683 best made it easily - the only lap under 20 seconds anybody managed. He then found a thirteenth lap in the main, more than he had put together in either qualifier, and pulled his average down to 24.881 while he was at it. The 74.09% consistency says one big lap crept in there, which is exactly what learning a track looks like from the inside. A hundred points and a first win that was earned on pace, not on attrition.

    A-main P2 · qualified P2 · qual best lap 23.868 · 92.03% qual cons · 8 laps · fast 25.268 · 13.91% cons

    His qualifying was comfortably the more disciplined of the two - 92.03% consistency and three runs that all landed on 10 or 11 laps, which for a first meeting in this class is precisely the habit you want to be building. The main asked for the same thing again and did not get it: eight laps, a 25.268 best nearly two seconds off his own qualifying pace, and a 13.91% consistency figure that is the signature of one enormous lap swallowing the run whole. That is a single bad moment in an otherwise controlled evening, and 96 points is a good place to be standing after it.

This list runs in overall order rather than by main — the A-main, then the B, then the C, as one continuous run — and a driver who bumped up appears once in it, at the better of his two finishes. The table above has each main as its own race.

Championship after Round 1

Two cars is not much of a field on paper, and this one still produced a proper race: Kayson Moran on 100 from Jax Bredernitz on 96, split by five laps in the main and by a driving style rather than a stopwatch. Moran had the outright speed all evening - the only sub-20-second lap in the class - while Bredernitz had the steadier qualifying sheet at 92.03%, so the two halves of a good racer are currently living in different cars. Four points is the entire championship margin after one round of six, which means essentially nothing has been decided and everything is still available. Both drivers have one score, and the one result this series discards does not come off until Round 3, so nothing is at stake there yet. For a first outing in a learning class, a 13-lap winner and a rival who was the steadier of the two across three qualifiers is a thoroughly healthy start.

Through Round 1 the drop rule has nothing to take away yet, so both columns match.

He was third of the four on the qualifying pace sheet, so this was not the quickest car simply doing what quickest cars do - it was the driver who stitched a clean five minutes together when the points were on the table. Thirteen laps in 5:14.404 for a first win, and the way it was built is the better half of the story.

    A-main P2 · qualified P4 · qual best lap 22.988 · 88.51% qual cons · 5 laps · fast 24.340 · 74.99% cons

    Eleven laps in Q2 and 11 again in Q3 say the pace was where it needed to be, and his 21.684 best was only fifty-six thousandths off Bredernitz's on the same sheet. The main lasted five laps and 2:26.757, and a 30.639 average with 74.99% consistency confirms it was a struggle for as long as it went on. Ninety-six points still arrive, the gap to the win is four, and a driver who won the last one has nothing to prove about whether the speed is real. A short night, not a bad racer.

    Chuck Burns 94 pts
    ranked on qualifying · qualified P1 · qual best lap 18.162 · 89.14% qual cons

    First appearance in the class and he went out and topped both of the opening two qualifiers with 14 laps apiece, off an 18.162 best that was nearly two and a half seconds clear of anything else on the sheet - on pace he was comfortably the quickest car in the Novice class. Q3 stopped after five laps, and the result line carries 94 points with no main-event figures beside it, so the evening the stopwatch saw and the evening the points sheet recorded are two quite different evenings. Ninety-four is a strong way to open an account regardless, third in the standings from a single start, and nobody watching those qualifiers is in any doubt about the speed.

  4. 4th
    Chris Kuhlmann 92 pts
    ranked on qualifying · qualified P2 · qual best lap 20.635 · 86.84% qual cons

    Q1 gave him nothing at all and he answered it with 13 laps in Q2 and then the fastest run of Q3 outright, the only driver in the class to head that session. A 20.635 best put him second on pace behind Burns and ahead of both of the drivers who went on to take the flag in the main, which is an encouraging sheet to be handed on a debut. The result then records 92 points and no lap figures of any kind - but a score on the board and a qualifier topped is a thoroughly decent first night's work in a class that exists for learning.

This list runs in overall order rather than by main — the A-main, then the B, then the C, as one continuous run — and a driver who bumped up appears once in it, at the better of his two finishes. The table above has each main as its own race.

Championship after Round 2

A win apiece, two starts apiece, and 196 points apiece - it is difficult to ask the top of a championship to be more evenly balanced than Jax Bredernitz and Kayson Moran have managed. Each has now taken a hundred and each has taken a 96, so attendance is not going to separate them either. The class doubled in size tonight, too, and both newcomers go home with something: Chuck Burns third on 94 and Chris Kuhlmann fourth on 92, each from a single start. The pattern inside those results is the encouraging part: Bredernitz has taken 1.688 seconds out of his best qualifying lap since April and turned a scrappy main into an 89.16% one, while Moran has the outright pace whenever a run goes the distance. The single result this series discards does not arrive until Round 3, so everything on the board counts as it stands. Two rounds in, the top of this table is a dead heat between two drivers who are visibly getting quicker, which is the most that can be asked of a novice class.

Through Round 2 the drop rule has nothing to take away yet, so both columns match.

    He ran the entire meeting inside the 13.5 Expert 4wd session - the second heat of all three qualifiers, then the A-main - with his Novice result scored separately from the class he was sharing the track with. The qualifying was the good half of the afternoon: 12 laps, then 13, then 14, off a 17.795 best that is nearly two seconds under anything he had turned before and quicker than any lap this class has recorded. The main went nine laps in 3:11.394, and a 19.835 best at 74.77% consistency leaves it a full two seconds off the lap he had just been running. With no other Novice entered there was nothing to race and nothing to win, so the hundred points and the progress on the stopwatch are what the day was for.

This list runs in overall order rather than by main — the A-main, then the B, then the C, as one continuous run — and a driver who bumped up appears once in it, at the better of his two finishes. The table above has each main as its own race.

Championship after Round 4

Novice drew exactly one entry in July, so there was no field, no race for anything and nothing credited for being the only name on the sheet - Kayson Moran took his three qualifiers and the main inside the 13.5 Expert 4wd session and was scored on his own against a class of one. What he did with the afternoon is the part worth reading: 12, 13 and 14 laps across the three runs off a 17.795 best, the quickest lap this class has put on the timing sheet since it started in April. The points move regardless, because the sheet does not ask how many people turned up - 296 from three starts, a hundred clear of Jax Bredernitz on 196, with Chuck Burns on 94 and Chris Kuhlmann on 92 from a single start apiece. Four rounds run means the best three results count, and since nobody in the class has more than three starts, the drop has not taken a point off anyone yet. The class was not on the June programme either, so this is only the third time these standings have moved at all.

    He headed all three qualifiers - 14 laps, 14 laps and 13, a 17.787 best and 87.74% consistency - which is the tidiest set of three runs he has put on the board in this class. The main was run inside the Mod 4wd A-main with the Novice score kept separate from it, and out of it came a 17.755, his eighth lap of the race with an 18.163 and an 18.651 either side of it. That one tripped the site's lap check, because a run at 76.96% consistency with four laps over 28 seconds in it is exactly the shape a bad reading makes; it was pulled out and gone through by hand, and it is real - he had already run a 17.787 that afternoon and a 17.795 in July. Thirteen laps in 5:06.685, a hundred points, and a best lap that has come down from 19.683 since April.

    Second on pace in all three qualifiers and the steadiest car in the class while he did it: 90.64% consistency off a 20.171 best, with 12 laps and then 13 and 13, and almost half a second taken out of the quickest lap he managed in May. The main then went ahead without him - he did the qualifying, earned the grid slot and was not on it - so the 96 points are scored on three runs rather than on a race. Two meetings, two scores and 188 points is a thoroughly healthy return for a driver whose runs get longer and tidier every time he turns up.

  3. 3rd
    Henry Kuhlmann 94 pts
    ranked on qualifying · qualified P3 · qual best lap 20.628 · 86.78% qual cons

    A debut that showed up in the lap count first: 12 laps in every one of his three qualifiers, third on pace each time, and a Q3 of 12/5:10.045 that was eight seconds quicker than the same twelve laps in Q1. The 20.628 best sits under half a second off Chris Kuhlmann's, and 86.78% consistency on a first afternoon in this class is a solid piece of work. He was not on the grid for the main either, so his 94 points come off the qualifying he did - and a debut that puts a score on the board is a debut worth having.

This list runs in overall order rather than by main — the A-main, then the B, then the C, as one continuous run — and a driver who bumped up appears once in it, at the better of his two finishes. The table above has each main as its own race.

Championship after Round 5

Three entries and one car on the grid for the main, which reads worse than it was: Chris Kuhlmann and Henry Kuhlmann both put three qualifiers on the board and are scored on them, 96 and 94 points respectively, because work done in the heats still counts for something here. Kayson Moran did take a start, inside the Mod 4wd A-main with his Novice result kept separate from that class, and produced a 17.755 that the site's lap check flagged and a hand review kept - four hundredths off the 17.787 he had already run in qualifying the same afternoon, which is the definition of a lap a driver owns. That pace is the season in miniature: 19.683 in qualifying and 20.107 in the main back in April, 17s in July and 17s again now, and 396 points from four starts. Behind him Jax Bredernitz still holds second on 196 from his April and May outings, Chris Kuhlmann is third on 188 from two starts, and Chuck Burns and Henry Kuhlmann sit on 94 apiece from one each. Five rounds run means each driver counts their best four, and with nobody holding more than four scores, the drop has still not cost anyone in this class a single point.

    Fourteen laps in Q3 was the only 14-lap run in qualifying, and he then went and produced the only 14-lap run in the main as well while the rest of the class topped out on 13. A 94.22% consistency figure across the qualifiers moved to 94.38% in the A and his average lap went from 22.329 to 22.365, which is a truck that arrived dialed and never needed touching afterwards. He did not have the fastest lap of the race and had no use for one. A hundred points for the least eventful drive of the afternoon, and that is meant as a compliment.

    On outright speed there was nothing in this at all - his 21.268 best in the A was 24 thousandths off the winner's, a margin you could lose in the transponder. Everything else opened up: an average lap of 24.325 against 22.365 is close to two seconds a lap of ground given away, and consistency dropping from 93.30% in qualifying to 90.49% in the main says the damage arrived all at once rather than gradually. Second on the pace sheet across the three qualifiers and second at the flag, so 96 points is an honest reflection - but the speed here deserved a tidier 13 laps.

    A-main P3 · qualified P3 · qual best lap 21.896 · 92.52% qual cons · 12 laps · fast 21.125 · 92.11% cons

    The fastest lap of the A-main belonged to him, a 21.125, which is quite the trick from a driver who had been slowest of the three on qualifying pace with a 21.896. It came bolted to a 25.973 average, and that pair of numbers explains the 12 laps neatly enough - the speed showed up in flashes and the race happened in between them. Q2 stopped at six laps and Q3 never registered a time either, so the whole meeting was fragments held together by a genuinely quick truck. Ninety-four points, with a good deal more available once the afternoon stops getting interrupted.

This list runs in overall order rather than by main — the A-main, then the B, then the C, as one continuous run — and a driver who bumped up appears once in it, at the better of his two finishes. The table above has each main as its own race.

Championship after Round 1

Three trucks opened the account and delivered a tidier race than a three-car field has any obligation to: Jason Ruhnke on 100, Albert Bredernitz on 96, Terry Gile on 94, one start each and the whole class inside six points. Ruhnke leads because he was the only driver to get 14 laps out of the five minutes, and because his consistency between qualifying and the main moved by 0.16% - a car and a driver in complete agreement. The oddity underneath the table is that the quickest lap of the A-main went to the driver at the bottom of it, Gile's 21.125 sitting next to a 25.973 average, so the pace order and the points order are telling quite different stories. One round of six is scored, which means every one of these three has five more chances, and the single result this series sets aside does not come off until Round 3. A four-point drop to second and two a place after that is not a championship anybody is running away with.

Through Round 1 the drop rule has nothing to take away yet, so both columns match.

    Fifteen laps in Q3 was the biggest run anybody has managed in this class, and he then went and did it again in the A - in a category where 14 has been the number to beat, that is a statement rather than a result. The consistency is the party piece: 93.79% in qualifying, 93.79% in the main, identical to the hundredth, with an average lap that actually improved to 21.120. His 20.202 in the race backed up the 20.077 from the qualifiers, so there was no drop-off anywhere to be found. A hundred points on a first outing and not one loose moment in it.

    Two months on from April he was quicker in absolute terms - a 20.501 in qualifying against the 20.768 he found in Round 1 - and it still was not enough to stay on the same lap as Strumillo. The progress is real all the same, with consistency lifting from 89.97% on the pace sheet to 92.87% in the main and 14 laps in 5:21.004 keeping the deficit to one. What he could not answer was the average: 22.938 against 21.120 is most of two seconds a lap, and over 14 laps that is the entire race. Ninety-six points and a second score banked, which is more than anyone else in this class can claim.

Championship after Round 3

Jason Ruhnke did not win tonight and left with the championship lead anyway, 196 points from two starts and the only driver in this class to have raced more than once. That is the shape of a series where a class skips dates: Josh Strumillo's 100 came from a faultless single outing, Albert Bredernitz's 96 and Terry Gile's 94 have been sitting untouched since April, and none of the three has had a second chance to add to it. Strumillo arrives as the fastest thing this class has seen, with 15 laps in qualifying and 15 again in the main, and on tonight's evidence Ruhnke's lead is going to need defending rather than managing. Two cars is a thin entry for a round, though a 15-lap winner and a 14-lap runner-up split by one lap is not a thin race. The drop arrives with this round - three run, best two counting - but with a maximum of two scores anywhere in the class it has yet to touch a single result.

How the drop works

Six dates, best five count. That is a single drop across the whole season, which is far less forgiving than it sounds: a missed date is a zero, and you only get to throw one of those away.

Until somebody has six scores nothing is being discarded, so the championship column and the raw total are identical right now. They separate the moment Round 6 is run.
