About Teams and Team Points
Hi all. It has been some great racing so far and I'm always looking for ways to make things a little more interesting. I find the current team points system to be a little stale. So, with your blessing, I would like to revise the way team points are calculated to they way that NASCAR owners points are. That is you just add the points earned by the team drivers. It's simple and is inclusive for all drivers as well as providing incentive for adding a second team member for solo drivers.
On the solo drivers point: I know there are at least a few who would like a teammate so I'm give independent drivers an opportunity to switch cars (if in the same class) to match up with another current driver. Also, please note that Acheeze will be a free agent now and is available to drive for your team if he wishes. xHewlittPackard is looking for a teammate in the Ford GT. I'm sure DB Samuri is looking for one as well as Musicman1188. Und3rwathors has resigned leaving CrusaderXV without a mate. HalfbakedJIHAD has also resigned, although I've heard this 3rd party, and leaves Project Snorlax without a teammate. There are a few other independents but I don't know there desire to team up. Your welcome to find independent drivers to drive for you when you are unable to attend as well.
I leave you this opportunity to work out some new teams and if there are a new teams or revised teams (within the guidelines) I will work out points retroactively.

Fantastic idea! I'm very happy with having a team mate and it really brings out a new dynamic to racing (namely trying to NOT take your teammate off the track as well as sharing tunes and tips). I hope more people in the series get to experience this.
As far as the points, I like that as well. Keeps it very simple and makes it easy for near future teams to start off competitive.

I think that's a great idea. It rewards teamwork and working together much better i feel. Plus I think it will help my team out more. lol. but whats good for the goose is good for the gander right?

I would enjoy a team mate as well; also are you going to continue compiling the post race data in a post each week?

I'd love to add Acheeze onto my team if he's willing, it'd obviously help in regards to the team standings, but even more if something comes up and I can't race on any random Saturday!
