The first divisional of the 2022 season took place this past weekend in Beeville TX. The Lonestar region (Spokes + Sasca) battled the Houston region for the "Come and take it" trophy. Houston region has struck first blow, taking a very narrow 8 point win (246 vs 238 points).

Points were scored by attendance (everyone there scored 1 point for their region) + extra points for the top 25 in pax.
The second divisional of the season will be at Grandsport Speedway in Houston in late October. Time for us to go to their turf and take back the trophy!
*** Mid-season class points standings ***
We are already half way through the 2022 autocross season! 😱 It is time to take a look at how the season points battles are shaping up in all of the classes.
INDEXED CLASSES
- Pro (X) class: The battle here is likely going to come down to the last event of the season. Vivek is currently in the lead with 68 points. Joseph Cotè and Matt Morhardt are tied with 61 points each. And Ryan Otis is in 4th with 50 points. Vivek and Ryan are the only 2 to have won the class more than once this season (Ryan is 2/2 so far).
- Tire (T) class: The top 4 drivers have each won at least one event! But Daniel Moore has won 3, and has a 14 point lead over Lora, with George just another 3 points back, and Wally a further 6 behind. I’m expecting tight battles all the way to the end.
- Race tire (R) class: Lots of upheaval in this class! Todd and Steve destroyed their motor early in the season. Jason has not brought his Stalker out much so far. John Hale has put in a strong performance to take a healthy lead in the class over Jeff, Ward, Willman, Joshua, and Adeeb. Collins Brant is just 1 point out of the trophies at the moment, and could become a factor too.
OPEN CLASSES
- SS: Jon Hong is in the lead with 65 points, Steven Tellman in 2nd with 56 points, and Gary Boswood in 3rd with 50 points. Gary has only made it to 2 events though, and has won both of them, so things could get interesting if his attendance improves.
- AS: Max McDonald sits in the top spot with 55 points, over Jim Cubberly in 2nd place with 36. Neither driver has regular attendance though, so they may not meet the minimum number of events to be eligible.
- BS: It is the Ted Maeurer show as the only one with enough events to qualify.
- CS: This class is turning into a 2 horse race. Sammy Lin is currently in the lead with 75 points, with Chris Williams in second just 7 points back with 68. Minh and Nicholas are in 3rd and 4th with 52 and 51 points respectively.
- DS: One of the largest individual classes in Spokes this year! Michael Martins is the current leader with 65 points, but he is being caught by Chase Gintner who is just 4 points back with 61. Stephanie, Lawrence D, Zbigniew, and Brad occupy spots 3-6.
- ES: Andrew Anderson is putting in a pretty dominant performance with 75 points. He has only been beaten once this season.
- FS: Peter Baydu is enjoying an undefeated season so far, with 75 points, holding a pretty comfortable margin over anyone else in the class.
- GS: Another very tight class! we have 2 drivers TIED for the lead… Jon Meredith and Stephen Stehle both with 58 points. Looks like this will go down to the wire.
- HS: Another close race between 2 drivers, with Michael Lin currently holding a 5 point advantage over James Kersh.
- SSC: Justin Harbour is another driver going through an undefeated season so far.
- STS: You like ties? We have another tie! Justin Coward and Lawrence Doeppenschmidt each have 75 points, and have traded victories. Lawrence is collecting points in both STS and DS, so he'll have to choose where he is going to focus.
- STX: GK Gordon may be relatively new, but he is showing really strong improvement and is putting in a dominant performance to take a very strong lead in the class.
- STR: Large class, but lots of people with low attendance! Neal Bellamy is putting in a strong performance at the top, winning 5 events, and 2nd in one. The rest of the class has some work to do if they want to catch up.
- STU: This is likely going to come down to a 2 horse race between Tanya Kort and RJ Labrador. Tanya currently has a scant 3 point lead, with 61 points over RJ’s 58.
- STH: Except for 1 event where Paul Metzgar made an appearance, Samer Chtay is undefeated this season, and is leading the class. Ally Gobeli is in 2nd place, 21 points back.
- XSA: Mat Beck is taking consistent wins, and stretching his lead out over Denny Kort.
- CAM: No one is currently on track for a trophy because attendance has been spotty :)

Spokes meeting tomorrow! These meetings are for everyone. It is a great way to learn more about how the club operates, discuss how we can make our events better, and get to know people better.
Some of the topics for this time include recapping event results, mid-season points, more transparency about sound limit enforcement (why some cars had to stop running, and why some were given a second chance), team challenge, Beeville divisional, and more. Full agenda is here: docs.google.com/document/d/1BBWsJwu5knvgC2Qq9HBz2s7aTOngKZ5MW_6SjECEaxM/edit?usp=sharing
As always, if you are unable to attend in person, we will live stream the meeting on our YouTube channel.
