In the past we have had several ways and styles to add and keep track of points. It was left up to whoever stepped up and did the work. Most races ,cars,bikes etc award points for everyone who makes the final. Pvr has had the habit of awarding 0 points to dnf in the final. I find this odd and always have as a driver who stays home gets the same points as a person who burns down in the final. I would like to see something awarded to any drivers who makes the final but gets a dnf. Maybe only 1 point but being there has to mean something . A driver who attends a race and makes the show should get more than somebody whos not there at all . Just my opinion, fire away .

I agree. It makes you feel like you accomplished something.
I also agree with this...
Over the years ,not sure who was doing points, but we did have points to take a green. Drivers seemed to like it, gave incentive to show, start, and place better,and make finnals. Made more work for scorers. For awhile scorers only recorded 1-5 that crossed finish line. We need a fair but a point system that is always the same.
The points system will be run by Raceday. I will discuss with other board members on how we want to handle that. If you enter DNF or DNS into Raceday it will not score you any points. If the scoring people want to keep track of when someone went down on top of scoring the leaders, then they can add what place you were in when you DNF. It makes it very hard to watch this due to there are only so many volunteers and only so many people that fit in the scoring trailer.
Way back the scoring crew only kept track of 4-5 spots. When we started with muliti race seasons and a points system that changed. Its a difficult job we ask people to do for nothing but the bonus having people bitch about it,lol. Thanks to all soricng crew and all of those who spent sundays adding them up and posting the results. Thanks for responding
Thanks for the info. I am not being critical of a point system. I would like to see it consistent year after year. I Know how difficult it is in scoring and appreciate the efforts of all involved. Thanks
I see we are still giving 0 points for a final dnf. I find it goofy to think having a issue in a final does not mean more than a guy who stays home. Being at a event should account for something. Its a odd points set up.
I agree with you Paul. problem Is when you Enter the results into Raceday that is what it gives you. I can say that Charlie is looking into other ways to do it but as of right now that is what we have. please be patient with our “volunteers” and we will address it. Thank you for your input. we will keep everyone updated.
Thank you,

I did points for a season but not in race day . I understand how this works better than many as Michelle was a race day PVR assistant under Brain . Larry Preston said its PVR set up, the system will do it anyway we want. He said if thats what they want,thats how it should work. So I assume were scoring back to sleds that finsh , then it should be easy to list the dnf's with a point. Its a minor thing but its been bs for a while. No other group I ever raced with did it this way. Thanks to all who help,I was there for many years and took a lot of crap over it too. Its thankless but its still a job that has to be done .
