I guess if you look solely at the accomplishments of the Joe Hirsch field, it's not that bad. But realistically, no one in that field can finish on the board in the BC.

Kind of typical for these types of races though, no? Nobody really wants to go up against Ginger Punch or Mauralakana. I wonder if the weather scared anyone off. . .
