If you want to race a national, support the series to the point that you won't have a problem. If you get shut out, try harder next year or find something else to do.

Nice attitude.....Some people work for a living and can't make 15 races a year......just saying.......

It's too easy to get points in D1 when you have national opens as well as points races.
I personally have to travel 200 Miles to my closest points race and it goes up in 100 mile increments to make each other race. Also, no national opens to get points at either.
I think that the entry should work with that division grade points 7 to 1 then welcome other division grade points 7 to 1. If you raced a points race in the division of the national event and it's not your home division, you get to enter as if you belong to the national event division.

I agree with Casey on this. Maybe the first week or day the event opens the home division racers can enter. It just doesn't make sense for a racer from 2 k mikes away take the place of a home division racer. I had my 5 grade pioints so I got in but know a few that would like to have entered but only had 4 grade points.
