Now that the 2006 season has been wrapped up and all the winners for this year have been announced at the annual banquet, I thought I'd post some trivia in case anyone other than me is interested. I know many on the Forum do not receive the Slant Six Racing Newsletter (SSRN). If you don't receive it and are interested in Slant 6 Drag Racing, I would highly recommend subscribing! Seymour does a great job of putting together 4 newsletters a year with in depth race highlights, photos, tech articles, "State of the Series", Racer Profiles, etc. that you don't see here on the Forum. You can subscribe by sending $15 to Seymour Pederson, 2513 Princeton Ct., St. Louis Park, MN 55416. You can also request a sample issue to check it out before you subscribe.

Here are the "Top 10" for this year.

Ron Parker........................107

Here's how the "Total Points Earned" since the beginning of points tallying (1999) works out for the "Top 20" drivers:

"Over 4" are the points that the driver earned over the allowed 4 races per season. I've heard that the "4 Race Rule" has been re-looked for 2007.

Does this interest anyone other than me?

Just curious if it's worth going back and catching up my notes for the last several years and posting it here.

I got the points for 2010 and included them in SSRN #54 for those interested. It's broken out East and West.

#54 should be posted in the SSRN link soon.

I've started a new "Slant 6 Drag Racing Series Career Points History" thread:

http://www.slantsix.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=44732

That is where I'll update career points at the end of each racing season.

To follow along with the points race for the annual championship for 2011 you can check out this thread:

http://www.slantsix.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=45231

I'll update that one after each race.
