NHRA is put into an impossible situation, and this is the best they could come up with to not only cater to the Pros, but how about the national event staff that has to travel with all of the equipment to these races. Let alone, you have tv contracts in place; it is truly a logistical nightmare for everyone.
I get that the Division 1 crowd takes a bit of a hit losing 2 nationals, but there are a lot of people across the nation that face this very issue every year (D6 for example). If you truly intend to chase points, you will find a way.
Let's be thankful that NHRA has come up with a solution to a current WORLD problem and hope that they can stick with this schedule. I think more double divisionals are on the table as well as maybe some SPORTSnationals per division. The DDs have an unenviable task of trying to scrounge up a schedule and I wouldn't want to be a single one of them.
