This was a season I did about a few months ago, so I'll post the results here:
The season consists of 31 races, starting with Riverside and ending with Ontario, both of whom are defunct and destroyed. Strangely, both originate in California. The classic points system was used. Unfortunately, due to the roster size, many of the race fields were very small. The race lengths ranged from 30-40%, mainly whatever works in a 1-hour race (several races were longer/shorter than designated time). Each result consists of the top 10 in both the race and season standings. In the end of the season, I'll upload a spreadsheet for it. The spreadsheet will include full qualifying results, full race results, and the top 20 in points after each race.
