There was some great racing at the FSL season closer on Saturday at Snowpeach, but it could’ve been a better finale for OMG Racing, certainly. Silk and I had our worst combined finish of the season to close it out with a whimper. Congratulations to Jafo Tendaze for his driver’s championship (sewed up with one race to go, last week at PSU, actually), and to Jafo and Crippy Oh’s Archer Racing for taking the team title.
Teammate Silk was on Crippy Oh’s tail in the drivers’ championship going into the race, only 4 points behind, but a 6th place finish spoiled her late-season run on 4th overall. I was too far back from Jafo’s championship-leading points tally to catch up, and in turn I was out of reach of any contenders for my second spot for the season overall, but I managed to throw away what looked like a sure race win in the closing laps. From first to fifth in a heartbeat! (You can read Les White’s race report here, and review the final point standings here.)
Well, that’s racing, and this season provided some of the best. OMG Magazine finished second in the team ranking, after making a run at Archer in the latter part of the season that saw us pull well clear of third-placed Codename Denmark. I ended up second overall in driver points, Silk in fifth. We’ll be baaaack!
