Yep, we were all young and dumb back then. Shoot, Ive got those pics of Merchant's tires deforming from about 4 ft away at Smokin' in '08. Looking back, we were so stupid. You'd think we'd all know better by now, though.
The issue is they don't use any reasonable points system. I completely understand using a "floating finish", meaning that the #1 spot would be 1000 points per event and then calculating a percentage based off of how you scored, but yet nobody who won an event scored the maximum 1000pts.......................................
It makes zero sense how it was done points-wise where a #1 finish netted you ~830-880 points......
Overall the event went FAR better than any UCC in the past and I honestly believe it is in part to ODSS being there as well. There was no down time until Sunday (since ODSS was over) for spectators like there always has been.
