I say leave it the way it is! here’s my story, IHRA did this very thing and I believe, like many others that it did not make the best racer the champion
I was fortunate enough to win my first world championship under the old point system, yes I traveled around many miles but when I became the champion I had more round wins than anyone else in my class
Now my second IHRA world championship came under the playoff program. I was only third in my division and did not have a very good year but it got me into the one race playoff. I went to Memphis and was fortunate enough to win that race . it made me a two time world champion.
Did I feel like I earned the championship? absolutely not. I just felt that I got lucky and won on the correct day.
And just a sidenote, when they took my interview they never said anything like that. they changed my whole wording around to say I loved the idea!
I thought I had at least earned the right to tell them how I thought of their playoff points system!!!!!
