I technically never achieved 20 USAC points, but I also had the 2nd place from Winfield and no DNFs on my resume. I honestly thought he wouldn't have a problem upgrading me. I was wrong and he explained that I simply didn't meet the points requirement.

That said, I got a powertap in late September, have put in lots of quality hours, and am slightly more motivated to prove that I belong in the 3s very soon.
