“Charlie Jones’ 30 points at Sierria cup puts him and Alex Andruikov (Team USA) in a similar position needing a third site score which Wellington or Eloy would provide.”

 

I got Jones right, but it was Charlies’ stellar son Ryan who won Sierra Cup F1B with the only 6-minute max in the FO.  Alex Andriukov is in a position to snatch first place from Blake Jensen with a 25-point win and a total score of 110, hard to beat. This would require a trip to Kansas or Arizona because he already has two good scores at Lost Hills (but then again, he is closer to Kanas and Arizona than L.H.). 

 

Then I spotted Jerry Fitch, currently in second place. Jerry is counting a 24-point L.H. score so a 25-point win at L.H. or Kansas (he has a good AZ score) would tie Blake and Jerry wins the tie breaker. There are other scenarios that could de-throne Blake, but they would require two contest victories– i.e. Ron Felix and Greg Simon.

 

Blake can thwart all these castle seize attempts by improving his 26-point at LH or 25 points at Tangent. Patterson-Dual Club looks to be very compelling F1B competition this year.
