I didn't see any question marks so I didnt know you were asking a question.

If a lead lap car breaks on the last lap, regardless of where they were running, they ran 19 laps, with their last completed lap being 19. If there are lapped cars, they also ran 19 laps, with their last completed lap being 20. The cars that completed the final lap of the race get credited first.

They could have been doing it that way for 100 years...that doesn't make it right. Kelly is correct and I don't see how you could possibly argue against him. It is really simple to change the way you score this situation and do it right moving forward.

i hope i'm not the only one confused by this statement...i don't understand how they ran 19 laps and they completed the 20th lap at the same time...does the track give them an extra lap...they either ran 19 laps or 20 laps...

please explain..."*V#@****:;??!!!!!,.<>"...lol

I NEVER SAID IT WAS RIGHT OR WRONG.

I simply answered the question of how Bakersfield does it.

You people need to stop bitching at someone who does the courtesy of posting results each week and trying to answer questions as to why something is as it is, or how the system works.

I DONT crappity smackING MAKE THE RULES AND YOU PEOPLE NEED TO STOP BITCHING AT ME FOR TRYING TO EXPLAIN IT TO YOU.

I will no longer answer ANY questions as to WHY or HOW a result is as it is. If you cant figure it out for yourselves, you'll havta wait till you can ask the scorekeepers the next time you show up to a race.

You're all on your own now.

YA, Aaron

thats just the reply I though you would come back with if you don't have any thing to do with the score keeping at the speedway and if you don't no the right way of keeping score than you should keep you remarks to you self, I think that you didn't under stand how the right way should of been scored all along or you would of spoke up a long time ago IF ITS WRONG THAN ITS WRONG and it needs to be changed so if the head score keeper or Scott S. needs to get INVOVED than so be it, but for you to come on here and say your backing out of this because of every one bitching is pretty LAME, when you where the one saying thats how Bakersfield dose it, every one is just telling you its wrong, the right thing to do is stand up and agree with every one and say we need to change how its done,  and for you tell us YOU NEVER SAID IT WAS RIGHT OR WRONG and all you where doing was answering a Question on how they have been scoring these race's,  if its wrong than lets do what ever we need to to get it RIGHT.    If your a true racer than stand for whats right,

THANKS.  Scott Pounds

The problem is the mechanics of the score sheet. If you have seen how it works; it is based on cars crossing the s/f line. The last lap just needs to be hand corrected.
Hopefully IMCA dose'nt get involved.

It's not a bad thing if IMCA get's involved, we're not going to get in any hot water.  We are not affraid to answer questens either, but after a while you have to understand it is a waste of time and we have to agree to disagree.  Also, as a member signed in at Bakersfield Speedway as well as any other track you should realize we have Reserved the right to make the final decision, and you as a member have agreed to that when you signed.  With that said as far as I'm concerned we are beating a dead horse.  Chad

Scoring question, not really related:

Lets say a driver gets put down 2 spots on a yellow for what ever reason (Gets put back to 3rd.)  The cars take the green and resume.  On the next lap the second place car spins out.  Does the person who was originally put back to third move up to the 2nd place position or does the car that was 4th get to move to 2nd?

I think it seems like your being penalized twice.

maybe you should just give the guy that didn't finish the 19th lap a dnf
