My bad. I didn't realize the standings on the US Formula 1000 site already had dropped the points for the 2 worst finishes. The points are much closer than I thought it was.

PS corrected the points on the original posting.

That's close!

[Thomas Copeland]

Even closer if you remember it will be double points at the finale. That means:

1st: 44 points
2nd: 38 points
3rd: 34 points

and so on....
