Does Superpole still get you a point?

Wouldn't it be hilarious if someone clinched the title by getting pole?

I think pole counts as a tie-breaker.

Points. If tied, wins. If still tied, pole positions.

If I remember.

I thought the number of poles is the tie breaker from points....I only thought pole gets you a point in AMA/DMG...in WSBK you get a new blingdiggety expensive watch from Tissot for pole IIRC...and in MGP, for the most number of poles you get a new BMW car I think...

Pretty sure you are right regarding AMA/DMG. You get a point for poles. Not sure about the big boy classes but what you said sounds right. Watches and cars. [thumbsup] Doesn't pole at the Daytona 200 get you a groovy timepiece too? Timex? [laugh]

...and Smrz crashed yet another perfectly good motorcycle.

edit...

just watched Race 2...

do you suppose Checa should change his nickname to Toro viejo.

The old man showed the kids this year. ;D

Another good round of WSBK/SS/STK. [thumbsup]

Hooray Checa!

(Also, can I get a print of him giving the random guy in the bull costume a ride around the circuit? That amused me more than it probably should have.)

So did Fabrizio...6th straight crash in a race apparently. Those guys' mechanics must hate them!  [laugh]
