Level the field

Everyone has been addressing the IHRA deal the last few days. Look at some facts.

1) How many people do you think will win 1 race and not come back? I think very few.
2) How many more people will chase the div races trying to finish 3rd or higher. I think more.
3) Under the new system everyone has the option to win 1 and be in.
4) Under the old system very few had the option to max out on claims.

I think the new system will make the championship earned harder than ever. I did'n t like the format when I heard the rumors, but now I've seen it in print I'm looking forward to 2009.

One more thing.
In 2008 I won 3 div races and 1 national in HR to finish 10th. I missed the Summit deal by less than a rd and only had 3 nationals If I could've maxed out I may have done better.
In SR I won a divisional and finished 3rd in div 2.

Under the new format both cars would've been in the shootout.

Can't wait for 2009.
