[QUOTE=BKSG1198;606441]I understand we all live in a blind tunnel sometimes and the truth hurts but, the reality of it all is “they don’t want us” at National Events. With the TV contract they have with FS1 to do “live” Friday Night Qualifying or Sunday Events the less chance of having a Sportsman car hit the wall or oil down the track the better off. The reality is if you think 50-70 count car quotas are bad, I think the worst is yet to come. They really want the hardcore racers who are mentally set on running for a world championship at Nationals. They don’t want the “average joe” who’s been going to the Maple Grove National since it’s been in existence and it’s a tradition that it’s what him and his buddy’s do every weekend in September when they have no prayer of going a round. They want the guys & gals who run 8 -10 divisional races per year at these events so they can market them to the fans.

The truth other than I think they DO want us at the National Level. I really feel they are making the National Event level special again. Instead of just another race. With that said, Div 2 makes it real easy to get into ANY national you want. The schedule I think shows 14 races to get a grade point. My opinion, like it or not. Yes some of those are Opens and 1/8th mile. Quit complaining and go race! Fire away lol
