Do GNF finishes count toward regional championships?

I was checking out the championship points standing page and I noted that the GNF is shown on the Northeast and North Central region points table Does a rider’s finish at the GNF races count toward their regional points standings?

Thanks in advance,
Jason

 

No, if you look at previous years there is no points in that column.
I wanted to double check that too!

 

I have a question... Do the GNF points count with national endurance points?

Thanks
Jason

yes.

 

Just checkin! Thanks

GNF does not pay any points on sportsman regional classes, except if you win you get a national championship.

The GNF pays points for the National classes, endurance, and for the vintage classes.

 

GNF pays Vintage points!?!?!?!

 

I'm trying to remember how vintage works - I couldnt find it in the rulebook. You take your best 6 finishes, then add double points from the GNF round and that gives you your national points. The ranking of these national points then decides who is the national champ in that class.
I THINK that's how it works. Its something close to that.

and there are bunch of other threads.

So its at least possible to win the GNF in a vintage class, but the guy who got 2nd or 3rd win the national championship. Most classes have at least one person (sometimes 2 or 3) with 6 wins going into the GNF.

 

Dont worry Jason.......Rick isn't going to be there.

I might though......I'd give it a 25% chance right now. Damn war thing getting in the way of MY racing.

 

I am asking in reguards to my team. I am not riding but will most likely be there! In other words I am not worrying about said Rick


Dont let the war get in your way.. go race If the war gets in your way then be careful over there!

Oh mannnnnn........Wrong Jason. I was talking to the Tifosi Jason.

 

Hehehe...don't get it twisted, I've actually been trying to convince Rick to make the trip down Us Mid-Atlantic/North East guys need to stick together

 

Yep! AND its double points for vintage on top! Stinks! Well stinks for me THIS year. I am leading two regional V6LW regional championships, and as long as Corey R goes and finishes like 8th, I lose them both. Dam kids! Good thing he is a nice kid.

Of course it helped me win LAST years regionals! :up:

I dream of the day when southerners travel north to Beaver for a snowy mid summer Cycle Jam, and Nelson Ledges for the GNF!!!!!

 

I hear ya brother, I'll be rooting for our guys most definately!! I had a meeting yesterday and got the word this morning. No Joy. I'll be "busy" doing some flying. I gotta give John a call and tell him I won't be riding with him. Guess, I'll just have to get ready for next year.

Good luck Jason! Kick some ass!!

 

I don't think the GNF has anything to do with Vintage Regionals. If you are winning your Regionals right now, you won. The GNF is only for National vintage points.

 

From Rulebook.

6. WERA divides the country into geographic areas. Within each area a series of sprint races are held. ***The Sportsman/Vintage Regional Class Champion will be the racer with the highest point accumulation in their class at the end of the season in each region.*** The Sportsman National Class Champion shall be the rider who wins his/her class at the Grand National Final. The Vintage National Champion will be the rider with the highest point accumulation in their class at the end of the year taking their 6 best finishes at any Vintage round throughout the year and adding it to their finsh at the GNF which will count for double points.

Looks like you may be right.
So, I guess the quesition is: What constitutes the end of the season? Now i need to go back and look at last year.

 

Don't worry be happy.
It's what he said.

End of season= last regional race on schedule.

 

How/When do we get our Vintage Regional trophies?

 

Mailed to you sometime over the winter (well after the GNF generally).

 

I seldom "Rabble Rouse" BUT

And by trophies, I hope that you mean number plates, and car license plates. Not all regions get trophies. It depends on sponsorship, and a whole bunch of stuff.

I was kind of a jerkoff about it last year. Its a bummer, BUT, the number plates are pretty cool.
