What does a serious points challenger from Divisions 1, 4, or 6 do when they do not have 3 in-division national events and the 'home division' racers are given priority at all other events?

There are no California racers currently entered in the Gators but I do appreciate a good strawman.

In reply to Daryl - unfortunately it would pretty much require a 'burn year' to acquire grade points before someone could seriously battle for a championship in most classes.

Actually it’s best 3 of 5 nationals for championship points. I was using California as an example. Typically at the end of the year if you are top 10 they make exceptions to compete for the championship. Most likely if you are a hitter and capable of competing for the championship you will have enough grade points to enter. I don’t get enough time off of work to chase national points. Although I have been top 10 in D2 the last 2 of 3 years. Not bad for an old man with a home built car.
I would have to check but i think most divisions have 3 national events
