However, the catch was that I could only use those 6 points for Super Stock for the remainder of the season. I would call your DD and go over this with him.

I have talked to the DD about this and am confident that I understand how the system works currently. It does not include the limitation that you describe. Although how I've outlined it is correct, there are multiple nuances that would be different when the circumstances are different. He agreed that the system doesn't really fit the philosophy of why they use grade points for prioritizing entries but that they have system limitations that doesn't allow them to administer the system in better alignment.

My DD also said that if there is enough feedback from racers to change how this systems works, then they would consider changing it - that's what I'm trying to gather/understand from this group.
