RASCAR: I May Be Wrong

by John Simmon » Sat, 09 Aug 2003 10:57:21

I took the New Hampshire race and ran it through my points deduction
scheme.  Of the 22 incidents, only 2 were "one of them racin' deals".
the rest were over-aggressiveness, in-attention, or caused within two
laps of a restart.

HOWEVER...

Nobody earned enough penalty points (based on the replay) to warrant
a suspension, so the penalty point system may not be viable. The
following cars would have earned the indicated penalty points:

00      5
3       5
04      5
11      5
12      10
39      10
42      5
43      10
67      10
74      10
96      10
98      10
103     5

The race had 17 cautions for 59 laps.

Please point out my 10 points.  That was a decent race for me...

That wasn't the purpose of the test run. The purpose was to see if
the penalty points would result in a suspension, and the answer, even
for our most caution-filled race, is "no".

If you insist, I can post the reasons for your 10 points of
penalties, but I'm not going to entertain any further
discussion/argument beyond stating why you would have earned penalty
points.  My advice is not to worry about it since the race is a
couple of weeks old now.
