2018/08/12 - Josh Arnold wins 20-Lap Makeup-Race [YouTube]
Sunday, August 12th, 2018 - For the 2nd week in a row, we had track and karts ready to go early--and only two drivers showed up, so we had a makeup race. Makeup Race START - 20 laps: 1st. Josh Arnold (Arnie Racing #93) 2nd. Matt Stevens (Galletta's Greenhouse Racing #1) 3rd. (R) Stephen James (Galletta's Greenhouse Racing #2) (R) = 1st time rookie With so few drivers and laps on track, it's usually tough to get even a single position change. The race finished as it started. Makeup Race FINISH - 20 laps: 1st. Josh Arnold (Arnie Racing #93) - Earned 10th in 7/22/2018's 30 & 25-lappers (50 & 41 pts.) 2nd. Matt Stevens (Galletta's Greenhouse Racing #1) BANKED BONUS POINTS 3rd. (R) Stephen James (Galletta's Greenhouse Racing #2) 15th in 6/10/2018's 25-Lapper (+25 pts.)

NOTES: As usual, handicap inverts via primarily wins and points. Tiebreakers are as follows: (1) Current Season Wins (tie-breaker is Current Season Points-Per-Race) (2) Current Season Points-Per-Race (tie-breaker is total points) (3) All-Time Wins (tie-breaker is weight) (4) Returning veteran drivers start in the rear of current season's handicap (inverted by the tie-breakers of (a) all-time wins or (b) weight, and in front of newbie rookies) (5) Drivers without enough on-track experience--we call them Newbie Rookies--start in the back (until they AND their fellow competitors feel you can hold a solid line and race clean without incidents and accidents), handicapped by weight. (6) Choice. One can choose to start in either their handicapped start OR the rear. (7) 1-Lap-for-points drivers start in dead last and are to leave the track safely on the 1st possible pass or an open pit gate.
Reminder: Photobucket sucks: 
<-This site used Photobucket from 2006-2018 for our pictures. That changed when they decided to extort users top-dollar to use their own photos on their own website. I could see a light watermark, or small fee... but this is ridiculous. Bye, Photobucket.
