Going to 16 races is the racers prerogative. If he/ she can afford it, both in time and money, so be it. But having the time and money to devote on such a level should be considered a professional class of racing. However one wants to define it, it should be obvious that racing 16 and claiming the 5 best is an advantage that can't be shared by the true sportsman racer. If you can accept that, then the rules are tilted to the professional racer. What is wrong with claiming the race as you entered, as it was done in the past?

Even if a racer goes to all 24 national races, how is it an advantage other than seat time and possibly making some money? Here's an extreme example for you:
I lose round 1 at the first 6 races in 2010. Then I win the next 18. My national score would be 90, because as been stated before, you count the best 3 out of the FIRST 6 you attend. Some advantage!???
