Congrats to the following racers who won a free entry to next month's race at NPWDRL, thanks to...NPWDRL, where it pays to play, and they may pay your way!

Free entry must be used at next month's (August 4) race - an extra value because it's a HUGE month - 5 more free entries are up for grabs for the points leaders of each class at the halfway mark!

Last Edit: Jul 3, 2017 10:06:29 GMT -7 by Skywalker Racing: removed part about double points (no double points races this season)

These results have not been certified by Ernst & Young or any other fancy auditing firm. NPWDRL is the sole record holder of official winners. (but I did go to the film)

Congrats guys; nice night of racing!

Welllll....there may or may not be double points for everyone next month.

Joel's post from December that I linked above said there would be double points

BUTTTT

Scott's post from December mentions only the 5 free entires to point leaders. The side tab also does not mention double points.

Admin can tell us what he prefers. If he chooses not to award double points, that's okay. If he chooses to award double points to some, and negative points to JBD, HurriCrane, Mojo, Zeebzob, Maglev, etc. we'll just have to be okay with that too.

We like double points because it increases the # of participation. But it puts undo stress on racers making them feel that they have to race that race or the wont have a chance. I want to keep it as stress free as possible, so that is why we have elected not to do double points for the series. If racers want a double points race to try and make up some ground than we can look into it for next season. At times just trying to find that last .000X-.00X of speed in our cars is stress enough. If I'm wrong let me know, we try to do things that are best for the league, not just us.

I get that. It can add a little pressure trying not to lose out on the double points.

On the other hand, its also added motivation, because no matter what the leaderboard looks like and how far you are in the hole, it can swing dramatically at least twice a season. Also allows late bloomers the opportunity to make up ground.

Or it can allow JBD and Crane to widen the gap. Lol

Either way.

Sorry for the false alarm guys; my bad. Still some free entries up for grabs next race!

If you were to miss a race where there wasn't double points you would still be out of it.

Your lowest score will be dropped though, right? So if you miss one race it won't hurt your totals really.

My understanding of this year is that there will not be a double points race and you get to drop your lowest score off your final score.
If you have double points, you cannot drop that score even if it is your worst finish. Happen to me last year. Had to drop a win instead.
I wouldn't mind having double points races as long as we didn't drop a score. I prefer the current set up where each race has the same value and you get one mulligan.
