We've run the five 12-man round robins to seed two Semis which will fill the Main.
Results as soon as I can get them and get access to post them.
Total entries at the 2011 R4/4 was 210.

You forgot to mention just how much of a 'nice guy' Paul is. I have had the pleasure of racing against him. Super guy!
He did not make it to the final race in Can-Am.

I raced against Paul Sat. night, in the winged outlaw class. He was trying out a new motor, which was way faster than the rest of the field. But just out of the donut, he had a really bad wreck, came of the track hit the wall, and ended up under the track (nasty under there); a kid had to dig it out of there. Any way I think he lost about twenty laps, before he could fix it, but it wasn't as fast as before.
I enjoy racing with Paul and he always has helpful suggestions for me.

Mike, you've still got to get the F1 results posted, right?

I like how it gives "credit" for going the farthest (granted a bit of a estimate) in a particular heat and a particular color.
FWIW, I added up the totals of the top six guys, using ten sectors as equaling a lap, and they total dead on, or one sector on the high side, which makes sense, since in theory, eleven sectors really equal the lap.

I love that system.
Will it be in place for the 2011 Sano race???

With the smaller amount of entries and the Retro East move up system, it's not as necessary.
