my opinion

Don, be civil?

I thought I explained it fairly clearly, twice, how points were earned. Then a couple others gave examples as well.

I can't laugh at Toby's post?

But you continuously duck my question about the way points were claimed in the past....I understand the present system (although I had the number incorrect, again, the number is not the issue, it's the concept). Compared to the ways of old, who benefits with todays system?

Jeff, I'm not ducking your question. I didn't race with the previous system. I started running ss in 1996.

With the current points system it's fair for everyone! If any racer competes at 6 national events, they have the same number of races to claim as a "touring pro". Because ONCE AGAIN, you claim your best 3 out of 6. No races after your FIRST 6 count towards national points. Same with divisionals. Best 5 out of FIRST 8. So anyone that does well at their points claiming races could be national champion. There is no benefit in points to going to more than the 14 points claiming races. Touring pro or whoever.

Jeff, I am guessing you are referring to the old "waiver" system, where racers had x-amount of races they could waive, pre-event and post-event? I'm not sure how many waivers a racer had back then (I think the current points structure has been in place since the early 1990's). I think a racer had two pre-event and two post-event waivers. Maybe three. Someone else will have to help me out here.
