Bonus racing this week! After some confusion last week about when the season was over and when we'd get trophies, gift cards, etc., the league director at Autobahn, Jordan, had us come back this week for some free racing. Despite not getting an actual e-mail from Jordan, word got around and everyone made it there. We got two races - one on Monaco and one on Le Mans - as a thank-you for participating in the league this season.
Both tracks are finished with their surface work and the karts are set up with better tires. The results are phenomenal. There's so much grip, and the karts are so neutral. They just turned great at speed and the g-forces shoved you into the seat with each change in direction.
The results weren't for season points, but as far as bragging rights are concerned, here's how we finished:
1. Bob: 23.028 avg
2. Greg: 23.243 (0.215 back from 1st)
3. Peter: 23.338 (0.310 back from 1st)
4. Taylor: 23.340 (0.312)
5. Paul: 23.551 (0.523)
6. Andre: 23.576 (0.547)
7. Joseph: 23.799 (0.771)
Greg finished 2nd! His best finish of the year and earning him the office trophy back from me.
Bob took home the championship trophy for the year, with Taylor and I getting medals. All three of us received gift cards for Autobahn, which is cool. When they announced the final standings, they actually originally had Bob in second and me in first, but it must have been because the league manager forgot to drop the lowest score when doing the calculations. Everyone there knew what the results should be though, so we corrected them. The general consensus was that the league management at Autobahn is sorely lacking.
It sounded like everyone had a ton of fun this season and is looking forward to getting back on track with each other. The group is so closely matched that it makes for a great challenge, and everyone has a really positive attitude. Hopefully we can still get out for some racing even without the scheduled league nights.
