The opposite effect will eventually take place here. Some of you are suggesting to race more to ensure acquiring a grade 8.. I get that.

For racers like me, I have zero desire to spend 8 weekends at a divisionals/open race to possibly win a mini wally and $.peanuts. I prefer to race nationals and historically a grade 4-6 would allow me to do just that. Now I will have to attend 8 divisional/opens and then sit at my keyboard at 11am EST on the dot of the Wednesday entries open up to grade 8 to ensure I get in. No thanks.

So for me, why bother attending 4, 5, 6 or 7 div/opens races if that doesn't get me into any Nationals anyway. So I'll do the opposite and attend the 2 or 3 locally that I enjoy attending and once that gets old eventually not attend any.

I'll bet that once all of the aforementioned enter, it will be well over quota.
