It is time to change the Point System

Taking out the "pure luck" factor, if anybody would want to ever seriously chase the points then they are practically forced into chasing them all over the continent, all the while not getting even one extra point for excelling in performance.
Currently, those select few who have the ability to making a life out of chasing points have the added luxury of claiming their best races for the points fund. I have to admit, I would love such a pass that I could throw out my bad days.But just as in life, I believe we have the bad days and the best days to deal with.
While I agree that every racer out there has a chance of beating the best and winning a few National & Divisional events, If we had a poll, I gaurantee that the list would be pretty short on racers that feel they have a slim chance in hell on ever being a world champion. And it's only because of the logistics in roaming the continent.
Now if the rules changed to reflect points for excelling and the points were tallied intra-divisionally (and I don't know how that would work, somebody smarter than Don could figure that out), I would be one to chase after a championship. Presently, I have no desire as I know I can't win a championship given my family and work that keeps me grounded.

I'm all ears as to why the current system is so great...
