So this is my first time doing the Power Tour and I joined the Challenge mainly because I've never tried autocrossing and thought this would be the ideal time to try it out. How do they calculate the winners? I keep hearing about consistency. Ok, I get that but how do they figure that?
Also, I was really disappointed with the young lady I talked to at the Peak tent in Racine. I was told by someone (Mr. Pitt perhaps?) that I should drop off my time slips with Brian at the Peak display. So once I finally arrived (over an hour waiting to get in!) at the park in Racine and got a parking spot I began searching for the familiar blue trailer. Once I made my way over I couldn't find Brian. So I asked the blonde haired girl and I was told that the winners were already picked. So she wouldn't even take my slips. She claimed that everything was already calculated (with a bit of attitude I might add). Not that I really expected to win but I would've liked my efforts to at least by recognized so I could see how I did compared to my fellow competitors. My question is, how were they able to figure out how I did since my Peak Challenge number was 118. The number I was given at GLD was 155 and no one at GLD asked for my name and I didn't see the tech official or anyone else for that matter making any notes of the car numbers. Maybe someone here can help shed some light on the subject. I mean if I was too late to get in or something to that affect, well, then I could understand but I was quite disappointed with the end of my day today.
One last thing, I want to thing the Peak guys for giving my buddy with the SVT Focus a hand so he could keep going on Saturday.
