On the home straight

What with the tyre controversy, the series prize money issue and whether or not the series winner will be a non-contracted driver and if so, will the purse go to the highest point scoring contracted driver? These are all unresolved issues our guy James McFadden has to deal with going into this final round. It's 20 grand that James won't get if they do finish the series on top however the team aren't being phased and will just get on with the job. Quote: "I’m going out there this weekend to do whatever I can to wrap up the World Series and nothing else,” commented a confident McFadden. “At the beginning of the season we had planned to just pick and choose our race meetings, but since our form was so good we decided to continue on. It would’ve been stupid not to. The World Series rules state that if you aren’t a contracted driver, then you're ineligible for the end of season prize pool. Although the extra prize money [$20,000] would be nice for our team’s budget, we don’t do it for the money. If we did, we’d be doing it for all the wrong reasons.”
Night one of the two night final started with the all important time trials and James was to only manage a 19th place which means some hard racing and passing to get a starting place in the A main tomorrow night. Jason Johnson, James' closest rival for the series title time trialed behind James but both Brooke and Robbie had the better time trials and a bigger points haul. Heat one of the final round saw James off the outside front row with James making short work of local W.A. racer Nathan Bradley on lap one to go on to win the race. Brooke and Jason finished 6th and 8th in their heat and Robbie 5th in his so the night was coming James' way. Jason Johnson found himself in the preliminary B-main out of a lowly 15th but with a strong drive worked his way up to a 5th finish giving him a transfer position to the preliminary A-main. It was an on-fire Cameron Gessner who won the night one A-main with rivals Brooke and Robbie home in 3rd and 5th. James went backwards slipping to 10th for much of the race from a 6th place start. With a hard charge in the final 5 laps James made it back up to finish in 7th.
Well it's only WSS that know the round points as we go into night two however I do believe with only the one round of night one heats drivers were awarded double points. James should benefit from this with his heat win. Rolling on..
