10 Points each.  First driver to 100 wins.

Is it 10 points each time you hit somebody new?  Or each time you circle you get 10 points for hitting them again?

Faith based.

We didn't have the opportunity to hit one again where I learned to drive.  I think in fairness it would have to be someone new.

Does getting them with the door count?

Yes, 5 bonus points but you have to use the door opposite the driver (just in case you have right hand steering) and be alone in the car at the time.   ;D

How many points if its the back door opposite the driver?  Just don't ask how I accomplish it.

Ok people, we will cover this one more time.

Pedestrians in the traffic circle are worth 50 points

Bonus points are awarded for the following:
survives first pass
has wheels (bike, skates, carriage, wheel chair)
poops in diaper (both age brackets)
playing a musical instrument (double bonus if said instrument is a piano or harmonica )
Is a zombie
is a local celebrity
understands how to navigate the traffic turny thingy

Moving on...

Using a simple calculation (a = V2/r, with constants for units conversion) going around the circle at a radius of 65 ft (to stay off the inside curb), at 27 mph you will need a car that can do 0.75 G.  To go 30 mph you will need to do 0.92 G.

Be careful.  Your results may vary you into the outside curb.

Any adders for taking one more banjo or accordion out of circulation?

Should be easy enough to hang the tail end of the car out, especially with rear wheel drive.  Timing will need to be skillful or lucky.   Not looping the car will be the trick to score without penalty for using any other part of the car.

Don't forget the height of the first bounce, and the number of times they bounce after the first impact.
This is on the scorecard for downtown Tulsa driving, and should be included since the new area is within the IDL.

What about drunk Owasso cheerleaders?  How high should that be scored?

OR how many points for a perennial mayoral candidate that pulls a bike trailer with a blownup object in the trailer behind the bike? ;D

Wow, this is a really great discussion on the benefits and drawbacks of roundabouts.
