Hoosier Racing Tire Super Tour 2017 Point Champions

The chase for Hoosier Super Tour point championships across 28 classes has come to an end. After 22 Hoosier Racing Tire SCCA Super Tour races at 11 tracks this year, plus the 54th SCCA National Championship Runoffs® at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, top series performers have now been identified.
 
A couple class point champions were decided prior to the Runoffs. After the record-breaking National Championship at IMS, several classes were decided by just a handful of points. The margin of victory in Formula Atlantic was only four points. Spec Miata was decided by three points. Two points was the winning margin in Super Touring Lite. The difference between the champion and runner-up in Formula Mazda came down to a single point. And H Production ended in a tie that was ultimately decided upon the strength of the point champion’s Runoffs finish.
 
Only the top six regular-season finishes counted toward a driver’s 2017 point total. Points were also awarded for a seventh and final race, the Runoffs. For each race, points were awarded to the top 20 finishers in each class. Winners earned 25 points, and 21 points went to second. Points were then doled out to others starting with 18 and descending to a single point for the 20th finisher.
