Ya know, it's a funny thing. I don't think that the system is broken, or for that matter needs to be changed. BUT, clearly the old system favored the Divisional points and filled in with National/Divisional points totals. The NEW system totally favors a National/Divisional points total BUT at the same time requires the Racer to race at a minimum number of Divisional races to be able to compete (grade points) at National Events.
IMHO, the NEW system doesn't necessarily allow the "Best Racer" to win.

I don't know that you can build the perfect system. But, I don't think the current one should have any drastic changes.

I would like to see a small bonus for records, class, and qualifying to bring back the performance side of things.

If you haven't run your full allowance of Divisionals, are you really serious about chasing points?

I sometimes wonder if some of the older crowd have forgotten how they "lived class racing" when they were younger. It seems that it has become just one small part of their lives now. One that they like to complain about constantly.

Why is it that Bowling Green is always the supposed central place to hold something like this? It is no where near the center of the US.
Geographically the best track is Great Bend Kansas. I assume that is why the first Nationals was held there.
