OK, it's the last race of the 2009 season It was a season where the majority of the discussion, as far as I could see, was more about the off-track shenanigans of the governing body than it was about the actual racing. It's my most sincere hope that 2010 will be different.

I won't bother with the rules. Everyone knows them by now, I'm sure. IF I run the contest next season there will be a couple of small, very uncomplicated changes, I promise you. More on that at another time...

OK, you know the drill. Correct picks are 3-2-1 points, in order of finish.

Here's the weekend schedule and some pertinent information. Let's get this show on the road.

FRI Practice 1 04:00 Results
