I keep going on about this, but dropped rounds barely makes any difference to anything in any year. Last year for example: Class A: only Andy Challis and Kev E dropped any points, and it made no difference to any positions Class B: only Alan and Paul P lost any points from dropped races, and the only difference would have been Alan equal on points to Kev P, but Kev would still have placed above Alan on other results, so no change. The only possible difference it can make is if someone gets so paranoid about not finishing it slows them down... But winning is almost more important than consistency regardless. I managed to finish second with 4 non-starts/finishes just by virtue of the number of wins. Because of the points difference, winning is almost more important than not finishing the odd race (in my opinion). Oh, and my tips would be Awesome and Brummy Dave. But who really knows until the final checkered flag. |
