Who was naughty and who was nice?

Here it is the day after the SCCA banquet and all the SCCA racers are busy thinking about the next race season.  They are thinking of what it will take to win the championships, who will show up next season, will they have a crew to support them?  Many wonder if they have the resources to continue, while others think about what might have been had they had the extra little piece of the puzzle to finally put them on the top rung of the podium.
