Default Re: The Present Points system to win the World Championship

Brian, Exactly.
A couple of years ago I figured up the cost of travel & entries to the complete NMCA series. I figured my fuel (gas) at $3.50 a gallon.( Yes it was Trump times) I have no hotel cost (LQ Trailer) I figured the entry cost, too. Even for me out here on the Texas/Arkansas border it was less than $9,000 for the 6 race series.
I'm pretty sure that mileage would be almost as much as a NHRA div race series and the Nationals required for a Championship. It would be interesting to hear from the Emmons family on the cost of a NHRA Championship. If you are winning races I bet a Championship
can impact your tax liability. NHRA has it right with the exception of points for records.( make Records worth something) No other changes...
