G.P.<\/a> and the resulting 13 points. Yes, when the region only has one track and one race, winner takes all! Actually, a two-car team that finished, say, third and fourth would have beaten Ghetto Motorsports.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/murileemartin.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/regional_winners-600px-1.jpg\" alt=\"regional_winners-600px-1\" title=\"regional_winners-600px-1\" width=\"600\" height=\"469\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/murileemartin.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/regional_winners-600px-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/murileemartin.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/regional_winners-600px-1-300x234.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><br \/>\nClueless Racing, with 22 points, nails down the Midwest championship. They got 10 points for their win at the <a href=\"http:\/\/jalopnik.com\/5523171\/the-top-51-lemons-of-the-detroit-irony-24-hours-of-lemons\">American Irony race<\/a>, then grabbed another 12 thanks to their four starts (and three blown engines).<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/murileemartin.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/regional_winners-600px-5.jpg\" alt=\"regional_winners-600px-5\" title=\"regional_winners-600px-5\" width=\"600\" height=\"496\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-481\" srcset=\"https:\/\/murileemartin.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/regional_winners-600px-5.jpg 600w, https:\/\/murileemartin.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/regional_winners-600px-5-300x248.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><br \/>\nThe battle for the South Region was hard-fought and won by the slimmest of margins. Magnum P.U. got 30 points and the win due to their single second-place and pair of fifth-place finishes. This was enough to edge out the rbankracing.com Saab 900 (with one first- and one second-place finish) by a single point, and enough for a two-point margin over the Super Troopers E30.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/murileemartin.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/regional_winners-600px-4.jpg\" alt=\"regional_winners-600px-4\" title=\"regional_winners-600px-4\" width=\"600\" height=\"493\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-482\" srcset=\"https:\/\/murileemartin.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/regional_winners-600px-4.jpg 600w, https:\/\/murileemartin.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/regional_winners-600px-4-300x246.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><br \/>\nFor the East Region, the 19 points earned by the Near-Orbital Space Monkeys and their 5 series, with one second- and one seventh-place finish, put them on top.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/murileemartin.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/regional_winners-600px-6.jpg\" alt=\"regional_winners-600px-6\" title=\"regional_winners-600px-6\" width=\"600\" height=\"503\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/murileemartin.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/regional_winners-600px-6.jpg 600w, https:\/\/murileemartin.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/regional_winners-600px-6-300x251.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><br \/>\nMeanwhile, things have become very interesting in the Gulf Region.
