With allowing grade points 5 or higher it forces peoples hands that want to get the feel of the National Exposure to run more and more Divisional events. Only a few events don't fill up with a 5+ or higher (Denver, maybe Seattle). I said a few years back that in the upcoming years the Nationals will be for the "Professional Sportsman" racers and those who are retired that can travel to 15-20 races per year. At a divisional they will allow as many cars as humanly possible into an event, same payout but, I know at E-Town a few years back (Maybe 2015 or 16) they had 116 cars.

Yes they take as many cars as possible at the Divisional Races, however if you run
in S/SS pretty sure they only take the top 128 qualifiers. If they get more than that
the others Don't get to make the show.
Super Categories they probably run ALL....
