Ohokaman the only entrant to score anything at all in that race and team Imperatriz are looking like Pride of Jenni at the 200m mark. Two races to come from Mornington.

say no more 3,025 Report post Posted April 20 Veandercross need Nicolini Vito or Devils Throat for Pondy or Maharba for SNM - it would need to drift or have Pintoff run second. Rough Habit's best chance is Devil's Throat for VC. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A low scoring match but couldn't have been closer. Congratulations to team Bonecrusher (Foxmerts, Pete, Idolmite and Stoyd) - minor premiers and carried that form into the play-offs and finished as deserved champions. and congratulation also to our plate winners Imperatriz (Jack, Ohokaman, Peter RS and #48) who were comfortable winners today, lead by Peter RS but with all four team members making healthy contributions Thanks to everyone who took part - great turnout each week, played in great spirit and with a healthy bit of banter (mostly from the lippy Ockers). Hope to see you all next Saturday for the Losers Get Laid comp. Pure Steel, Right first time, jack and 2 others 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right first time 1,960 Report post Posted April 20 Wow. So close, my Veandercross stablemates ! A fitting nail-biting finish to what has been such a highly entertaining and highly enjoyable comp these past many, many weeks. Pondy launched late . . . John, too. . . and almost brought us home ! Very well done Pete, Foxmerts, Idolmite and Stoyd - very worthy champions the team Bonecrusher. You were a benchmark team right through, and held your nerve when it mattered most when under heavy attack. I was thrilled to be in a team with John, Pondy and Kloppite. Great stablemates. We can be proud of finishing a close 2nd. Most of all, thanks John and Scooby for this marvellous competition. John, your skill at running these comps is simply breathtaking. Many, many thanks, my friend. Ponderosa8, Idolmite, Alf Riston and 1 other 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did okay Team Bonecrusher were a bunch of ragtag tipsters nobody else wanted to team up with. Thrown together by SNM, they did okay too Memphis3, say no more, scooby3051 and 2 others 4 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoyd 190 Report post Posted April 20 What an exciting final between Bonecrusher and Veandercross . It could have fallen either way right up until the last race and a 3-2 final score does t really project just how close the struggle was. It has been great being a member of Team Bonecrusher for nearly 3 months! 'Thanks again to Scooby and John for putting on the competition. It always amazes me how quickly the results are churned out so John must be a very clever guy to construct such an efficient spreadsheet.

It always amazes me how quickly the results are churned out so John must be a very clever guy to construct such an efficient spreadsheet. Yeah it really was close. So much so that I decided to look back to see what difference the promotion of Kintyre would have made in the end. Idolmite finished up with $259 and I ended up with $226. Take away the $33 Idolmite got extra for that win and he ends up on... you guessed it.. $226.. So it could have ended up 2.5 points each so you cant get any closer than that. And Stoyd got an extra $66 (a BB). Take that away and he ends up on $246 so only $4 more than SNM on $242. But that's racing and congratulations again to Team Bonecrusher...
