Re: The Present Points system to win the World Championship
And a DD once told me that, he told me "look out into the pits, do you really think these guys are running for the money". I think it has been proven over time between separate Big $$$ sportsman type events (Mike Beard, Lee & Brian, Ken & Tim, Tyler & Myself) it's all about the gold man at the end of the weekend for a lot of people.

then I also won a world championship as Don describes. they took the top three out of every division, and anyone that had won a national event, and we all had a big race at the end of the year and I believe the first one might’ve been Rockingham and then later in Memphis, I came out of the number three slot in the division, and won that race, it made me a world champion. I really didn’t feel like it. of course I took the money and all the glory, but it just wasn’t the same and I feel sorry for all those that had collected way more points. I gotta agree with bill Grubbs. It’s not the way to have a championship when you could win and not win a single race, while someone else had a near perfect season but loose in the winner take all race.

Re: The Present Points system to win the World Championship
So Basically a racer in order to win the world Championship has to go to at least 14 races a year ,spend appx $50,000 to $150,000 to win the Purse for Stock at $10,000 and Super Stock at $15,000 . The Purse that NHRA offers is a joke and my point is that NHRA needs to adress this regardless of how Much Money a racer has or spends > If i were NHRA I would be embaressed about the purse structrue for Stock and Super Stock and it seems not too many of us try to get the purse increased by even talking to The decision Makers at NHRA That is one of my points we need to be more professionally vocal with NHRA .

Re: The Present Points system to win the World Championship
,I am including the the total investment divided by the number of races to go to to make a run for the World chamionship racing operation to go to 14 races to win the purse is what i mean to say. There just needs the Racers reps to bring up the low purse concerns to NHRA

Re: The Present Points system to win the World Championship
Stop screwing around and just win your closest 7 events.

OBTW, while we're talking about the ridiculous purses let us remember, we're ALL running for the same amount of money. I think that for the time being, I'll just keep playing with my "junk".

Re: The Present Points system to win the World Championship
That method seemed to work rather well for Kyle Rizzoli this year, didn`t it? Even with taking off 4 months in the middle of the season!

Re: The Present Points system to win the World Championship
If you want to cut down on expense, What would happen if you counted
your best 6 out of 8 LODRS events, and your best 2 out of 3 National Events? J.R. |

Re: The Present Points system to win the World Championship
How about just using using your Home LODRS only, then have the shoot out with the winner and runner up of each division Going to the World Finals Shoot out making the Purse huge, Not every racer has the time or finances to go to 14 races to win the low purse Just throwing around some ideas during the off season lol
