Speaking of gambling, I realized today I never posted results from election day over/under. Here they are:
| Player | Points |

| Ben K | 4 |
| Decaturguy | 3 |
| Reid | 3 |
| Tony Ventry | 3 |
| Thomas | 3 |
| Griftdrift | 3 |
| Russell | 3 |
| Seth | 3 |
| Sara | 2 |
| Joseph | 2 |
| Garrett | 0 |
Congratulations to Ben, who was the only person to successfully peg the Jim Martin and Jim Marshall races, and is therefore our winner.
