Looks like maybe a mistake in that the championship standings points for the Twin sprints are the same as the overall and Dave should be number one in overall according to points. |

I'm not seeing it, KJ.
I've got DH @ 2075 + 565 = 2640 with five drivers having more points than that.
Somewhere along the way last evening, I missed a sorting or equation error related to adding Coffey to the drivers list and had to redo all of the points in the spreadsheet and the resultant images after I had posted them once already.
I've noticed that sometimes webpages don't automatically or quickly refresh to an updated image on one or another device that I have.
I'll post the newest Overall Standings pic below with a new address to see if that is any different for either of us.

I was pleased with how well this tricky track raced. Kevin Juliot (Corvette) and Jeff Crawford (Aston Martin) had one of the closest finishes (0.352 sec) of the season and I expect that I would have put up a better fight in Race 1 if not for conceding two positions early in the race due to the clumsy and late restart of the first race start.
Going forward, anyone who needs a restart due to any problem on the "practice" start will need to let us know by the end of Lap 1 via Teamspeak AND chat. It's unfair to the race director and admins to have our attention divided between looking out for everyone else and our own races.
Race 1 sucked for me (Radical RXC Turbo). I qualified on pole with a PB and had the lead on the free race start until the number of drivers off the track or quitting the server and the distractions compounded to me going from concerned to annoyed to irritated to angry by the time I announced a restart parked on the grass between T10 and T11 having spun off with maybe 10% of my attention applied to driving the car.
The subsequent official Race 1 start gave me a handy lead but I'd committed to giving it up in light of the questionable restart. I let Dave Hutton (BMW M6) and Jeff by as soon as I could without hindering anyone and gave chase to Jeff who I might have passed eventually on the back straight but he hastened that advancement for me by running off somewhere. I couldn't get close enough to Dave to mount a challenge despite no mistakes that I can recall.
Despite a big incident when Dave lost control ahead of T10 and collected me midcorner and my own mistake later in the race of entering T11 with too much speed trying to get close enough to Mike Campbell (BMW M6) that put me into the tires, I was less unhappy about Race 2. The first incident cost me about 10 seconds and maybe some speed on the straight and the second bent something in the suspension or steering as the steering wheel was cocked a 1/4 turn and the car was eager to turn right for at least half the race but racing incident and my own mistake was less irritating than the events of the first race.
It felt like this weekend was going to be my best chance to solidify a legitimate shot at the Twin Sprint title if I could have pulled off a win but now it feels like it's Dave Hutton's championship to lose at the final round.

Well another one of those race nights for me. Had a little speed here if I could keep it on the track. I hated this track with these cars, and it probably has more to do with the cars then the track, I know we have all said this season that a lot of the familiar tracks seemed different with the speed of these cars.
So anyway, Qualyed 6th and was able to gain a spot in the first lap, just worked on not wrecking off track. Due to others misfortune I managed a 4th place finish.
Race two went a little better, started 4th and less people in the race I managed to get up to Pat in first. He had an off handing me the lead early on. So just set my pace and hit my marks but I could see Jeff coming up in 2nd place. We seemed to keep a gap of about 3.5 seconds till the end, combination slipping a little more and and he putting on a charge I was sure he was going to pass me. We were really close at times in the last lap and he got a good run out of the last corner but I managed to pull off the win. Good pressure Jeff.
