For the third place tie:  The winner would be Peter Meixner if we don't count the races at Central Park, 

OR looking at the statistics for the year, Peter had 13 firsts against Ian's 6 firsts.

OR if we look at the Solings for the full year as one Series. Peter had a total of 25  vs Ian's 32.

Ian Richards took home the First place trophy for the DF 95's.

Even the two tied for first by adding up weekly results, Ian had many more firsts during the weekly races.
