Remember, your score is your points in the standings, not how much money you have.

108

 

What position do you need to get to qualify for the next race? It seems like once i came 2nd 3 times it was game over?

[jblenkle]

Indy Heat - 88 points

[darthkur]

128

 

[roadrunner]

I got 108 also

[mihcael]

 

128

[DonPedro]

As there will be some identical scores (128 points, 108, 88 etc) maybe mph avg could be used as a tiebreaker?

 

I got 128 so far as well.

[jfitzenr]

Never done this whole thang before... but I love the heat!

 

Got me a 128 as well: as I'm new to this stuff, is it frowned on to say, post my current 128, and then later post if I beat it?

 

That damn third race tho. I've managed to squeak out a win once or twice but I haven't found an upgrade path that makes that third race not kick my arse. I will perfect this!

You can always post your improved score, however, your question reminded me that Jibbajaba asked us to just edit our post with a better score, instead of making a new one. So one post with score per person, but you can edit it as many times as you want.

Sounds like a great idea to me.

Thanks. It was a request rather than a demand though, so I've just been putting up with people who forget and keep creating new posts. It's really not a day-ruiner.

[jblenkle]

Yikes, I would have been an offender then...but I haven't been able to improve my score. I'll make a note on my score sheet to edit scores rather than make a new post.

Seriously not a big deal. It just makes it easier for me to tabulate scores at the end of the round if I don't have to keep changing someone's score as I come across subsequent posts of theirs. I asked everyone at one point if they could do that, but I don't want to keep reminding anyone because I don't want to sound like a killjoy. If people can remember to just edit their post then that's great. If not, then that's OK too.

[CGQuarterly]

Sorry for the long delay, guys.

 

Since no one else posted their average mph, I just have to go by the scores, so there are a lot of ties.
