Unlimited Best Buds 2016 Results

Postby Jon#606 » Fri 09 Sep 2016, 11:55 pm

First of all, let me apologise for the mess that preceded tonight's meeting.

It has become clear that despite wanting to try something different with Pepino's NZ Oval, it is not favoured by the league's drivers as it has been changed in every single version of the Best Buds meetings this year. Therefore, this layout will no longer be used in standard league meetings. Autocross Warneton was selected as its replacement and because of this, the starting grid had to be adjusted to accommodate the larger size cars which did hold up the start of the meeting quite a bit.

Regardless of this, we had 19 drivers in attendance for the meeting, which resulted in 9 pairs; 212 Bokito was the odd driver out and was allowed to race on the condition his results would not be included in the final standings. There were a number of disciplinary breaches which will have to be punished; something I detest having to do.

The eighteen competing drivers were as follows:

RIOT SQUAD
606 Jon
27 Cap


THE PREDATORS
779 Luke
919 Macca


F A R
167 Fluffy
22 Ryu


WEST COUNTRY WRECKERS
870 Looney
228 Splat


TEAM BANDICOOT
474 Miniman
669 DarkMetalTim


BANDICOOT GREEN
997 Rik
960 Pepino


THE FOSTER JAM
307 Foster
616 Jam


DUMBO BOYS
649 Dumbo
786 Brett


NOVA HAMMER
220 Nova
66 Hammertime


Although it looked like one pairing were going to walk it in the early stages, a remarkable set of consecutive points finishes for one pair put them right to the top and produced another remarkable Best Buds outcome...

Top 6 scored in heats and final. Allcomers were non-points. Drivers in italics finished but did not score points. 5 points went to the winning pair in the DD.

3rd: Bandicoot Green - 31 points
4th: Dumbo Boys - 17 points
5th: The Foster Jam - 16 points
6th: Riot Squad - 13 points

8th: The Predators - 4 points

After three heats in the meeting, Rik and Pepino's Bandicoot Green had scored 24 points, with #960 scoring a heat win, and were 12 ahead of their nearest rivals in Bandicoot teammates Miniman and DarkMetalTim flying the standard TB colours. What followed was an incredible turnaround as the green TB only scored 7 more points while #474 put in four consecutive top 2 finishes, including two heat wins, to go joint top, but even this was not the surprise of the night.

Nova and Hammertime, having only partnered each other minutes before the meeting started, had picked up just 9 points from the first three heats, all scored by the current European champion. #66 then provided more than adequate support as Nova Hammer were the only pair in the next three heats to have both drivers finish in the points on every single occasion, with #220 winning a heat, rocketing them up to 32 points and 2 ahead of Team Bandicoot after all the heats were completed.

Miniman then held off Nova to take the final and have both pairs on 40 points. These would be the last points scored in the meeting for both pairs, although the former did record his fourth victory of the meeting in the Allcomers, as the Dutchman then surprisingly lost the DD to F A R's Fluffy, although a bit of lag helped this happen! :lol:

The spread of points below the top 3 was fairly even, with Dumbo #649 recording some good finishes to get himself and Brett as best of the rest winners, Foster picked up two heat wins to put him and Jam in fifth, Cap won the second allcomers but could not get Riot Squad more than 13 points in the heats and after a promising start by Ryu, F A R faded away completely until the aforementioned DD. The Predators had very little impact on the scores while West Country Wreckers had none at all, but both pairs were more focused on doing each other than scoring :P

The battle between Miniman and Nova was so strong they pretty much single-handedly got their pairs to the top, with #474 outscoring #220 by just a single point (34 to 33).

So, without further ado:
