The Junkie Prayer

Our Junkies who art in car heaven
Hallowed be thy game
your Goodwood come
Thy will have fun
on turf as it is on tarmac
Give us this day our daily races
and forgive us our restarts
as we have forgiven those who restart against us
and lead us not to say sorry but
deliver us from turn 1
For Simjunkies is the Power and the Glory
for Alfatina
Amen

ASJ-VHR Chase Field Set, Ready to Drop the Hammer

Spoilers ready to steal the glory. . . .

by Yuri-Nell Cakes

JOLIET, IL — The ASJ-VHR juggernaut has battled through seven months and 25 races just to start all over again.  And they knew it was coming!

Since February 23, some 29 SJ drivers have ventured into the weekly Tuesday night melee that has been the inaugaural ASJ effort at a full VHR season. The brainchild of the ambitious [SJ]Junebug, the league was developed to follow the extensive NASCAR Sprint Cup Season from the United States. And maintaining fields of 8-12 over 25 races thus far, the league is proving to be a rousing success for a first year effort.

But now, with 10 races to go, the top ten drivers have been artificially separated by the rest of the points field for the Chase. Two jokers have also been added to fill out the 12-man Chase Field, based on number of victories thus far.  However, unlike other sports that employ a playoff-type system, this playoff’s (The Chase) competitors must vie for their championship while the remainder of the league battle for the same race trophies needed to secure the championship. Complicated? That’s NASCAR.

Going into the Chase, the championship contenders are:

Pos.         Driver                Points
1.          KL Mallender        2015
2.          AlarmedBread     2012
3.          Cobra                      2012
4.          Fitch                        2009
5.          JuneBug                 2006
6.          MrDee                     2006
7.          Hooch                    2003
8.          xk289ci                 2000
9.          Michel                    2000
10.        Jimbo                    2000
11.        Forsythe (WC)    2000
12.        RockyC (WC)      2000

The top ten drivers have been given the base 2000 points, then awarded three bonus points for each victory during the season thus far. Chase Positions 11 and 12 were then filled with the two drivers from positions 11 through 20 with the most victories and they were given the base 2000 points.

Compare that to the points before the Chase:

  • Pos.     Driver       Points
  • 1. Hooch                         1016
  • 2. Junebug                     1007
  • 3. Mr. Dee                       952
  • 4. xk289                          886
  • 5. Fitch                             803
  • 6. AlarmedBread                 720
  • 7. Cobra                           306
  • 8. Michel Vaillant                280
  • 9. Kevin L Mallender           279
  • 10. Jimbo                         262

The end result? A two horse race for the championship has become 12 cats in a bag, fighting it out! And that bag is surrounded by a pack of dogs. The fur is gonna fly! So come join the chaos, the fields are still open to all of SJ, and larger fields just add to the competition.

Goodwood Revival 2011

Ted has opened up his home once again and the drivers of SimJunkies are back together again for 2011.  Hard times may have kept the numbers low, but we estimate that with six Junkies together in one place debauchery is sure to run rampant!

There will be a live camera feed off and on over the weekend.  Early reports tell of low flying Spitfires and a B-17, and the festivities haven’t even begun yet.  Check in for regular updates with the Boys of Goodwood!
