    WOO points confusion

    So, I went back and did some digging, as the points race wasn't adding up to what the actual points should be....seems Friday nights 23 lap race was worth full points. It also seems that whether you finished 1st or last in last nights 40 lap race, you received 60 points. So, WOO is handing out token points to whoever made the feature, but not rewarding for place finished?? I would love someone to explain, as maybe I'm missing something.

      Lol. Now WoO can say "See? It was a points night!" It's just like the Summer Nationals when they run a "C-Main" instead of a B-Main. What a joke.

        The part I don't like is how nobody gives an explanation on what determines how they decide these things. There is no Dirtondirt article, or a racing recap summary on WOO website which explains how they are handling points. Shady if you ask me. I still can't see any sense in how full points were awarded for a 23 lap event, but only "show up" points for a 40 lap race.

          I wish Fairbury would dump WOO for the PDC and go to Lucas.

            I would be completely happy with that, as would many others.

              I'm sure it was determined right before the feature as well. If I were a WoO driver who ran good last night, I would have a lot of questions. Just doesn't make any sense, why are they making up rules as they go? 23 lap shortened feature was a points race but last nights wasn't? Way to ruin your product.

                Did any of the Volusia features end up 50 laps? Ridiculous. Did they mention it on the DoD PPV at all? Not a single mention of it in their "Blog styled coverage" yet. Strange.

                  I think it had to do with the amount of tires they were wearing out in hot laps, quailifing, heats and B mains. I was talking to one of the crews before the feature and they wore out a set of tires every time they went on track. They had went through 4 sets and hadn't ran the feature yet. I seen a car with a 40 RR in the B main with no tread left after the race.

                    That would make sense. Eckert mentioned in his DoD interview something like "all the tires were wore out".

                      When is the last time you saw a 30 used on the rr for a heat race?.......smh

                      Kudos for them re-working the track before the feature....at least it was a decent race!

                        Wth does tires got do with points. If they was so worried about tires, they should called the race off. They still ran 40 laps lol

                          WOO needs to explain themselves, this wreaks of incompetence.

                            It was the same track for everyone. And it was the series rules forcing 20s on 3 corners. Race and award points!

                              The track mustve gotten better because Erb jr. said every driver around him had softer tire on.
