New Hamshire update - thanks, Kyle

Gory details are here.

Early congrats to Barrie Lang by taking over the top spot.

THE CHASE
Van's Bums held its lead but the cushion from the pre-Chase win bonus is almost gone. The same can be said for BLOWINSMOKE. Dirt Runners jumped to the front in the non-Chase race with the top score from New Hampshire.

SINGLE ELIMINATION
With three races to go in the semifinals, TURBO and Rev-A-Lusions hold nice leads.

DOUBLE ELIMINATION
Two teams - Yabos and RacingAngel - were eliminated with the completion of Round Eight which covered just three races. Yabos lost to testcar by 18 points, and Racing lost to Longs Gap by 27. testcar and Longs Gap meet in Round Nine (races 28-30); Van's Bums meets the winner in the Championship.

WORLD CUP
This is the final week of the quarterfinals in the Chase bracket. Cooter and Barrie Lang hold 100-plus-point leads; RacingAngel and Team Lester lead the other matchups. The semifinals run cover races 29-32.

HEAD TO HEAD
Beer Belly left us, and I've booted gordon hater, asian assassins, Kntcky, Hendrick Express, Canyon County, Junior and DWI. Those changes won't affect most of our side games; however, the standings for the Head to Head could and should change significantly. Through last week, the eight teams combined for more than 170 wins. Any past matchups with those teams will result in victories -- if you won the matchup, it won't change; if you lost or tied the matchup, it will now be a victory; if you're scheduled to play that team in the final weeks, it will be a victory. I'll post the update here later this week.
UPDATE: In addition to past results against the booted teams, future matchups were already counted as wins for the rest of us. As a result, some teams have "played" as many as 77 games, others as few as 73. The new, updated standings are as follows (along with this week's schedule):
1. Team Lester 58-17-0
TURBO 52-18-3

It's too bad you can't change the previous outcomes in the other games for the abandoned teams...I think I'd be a contender!~

Cooter -

Thanks for the comment!

The new standings should reflect just that. I plan on posting something soon outlining who benefited the most of the update. At quick glance, the standings look mostly the same; the big difference will for be the teams who have more games to play for the rest of the season (see the UPDATE on the post; some have played as many as 77, others as few as 73; there are 98 games in the season).

Good luck
