FORMULA 600 CHALLENGE: POINTS STANDING AFTER MID-OHIO THIRD ROUND

The F600 Challenge Series is growing in only its second season with points for 15 drivers.
After the third round of the Challenge at Mid-Ohio most of the movement in the points
standings are in the middle as newcomers have made their presence known. But the leader, Clint McMahan, has maintained his points lead with two dominating wins at Mid-Ohio. With only two rounds left - Barber on Aug. 8-10 and Road Atlanta ARRC on Oct.31 - Nov.2, it will be very hard for anyone to catch Clint. I don't want to hex Clint but you never know.

Here are the standings:

1 Clint McMahan 144
2 Matt Strand 87
3 Ryan Barth 61
4 Fred Edwards 58
5 Craig Laprade 46
6 Calvin Stewart 36
7 Carl Maier 29
8 George Bugg 27
9 George Fox 23
10 Brian Novak 22
11 Ken Van Horn 21
12 Hunter Brayton 21
13 Tom Edwards 20
14 Brandon Reed 18
15 Ted Simmons 14
16 Chris Ross 0
17 Aaron Ellis 0

The Formula 600 Challenge series was developed to help promote an affordable open wheel formula car to showcase talent without large financial race budgets. The Formula 600 open wheel cars use a 600cc motorcycle engine and a 6 speed sequential transmission revving up to 15,000 rpm with speeds in excess of 135 mph. The sound of these cars is likened to Formula One cars.
