In the end, he was the only competitor to surpass 2000 points with the dropped scores and the only change in those standings was me moving up to the runner-up slot, pipping Gnussi at the post. In fact, if you look at the points, you will see what a wonderfully competitive season it was. A lot of close finishes in the table!
Congrats must also go to wolfhound who won the final round in Abu Dhabi. :beer: He takes the most wins this season, with 5. While working out the points, I thought I was in with a shout of a hat trick, but both wolfhound and Teretonga finished ahead - both entrants who didn't put in an entry for this round!
I'd like to thank you all for racing this season. As always, it's been a blast.
Happy Christmas and new year and see you in 2025. :Santa::xmas::happyny1:
