Do you think the divisional doubles are a good idea?

Due to insane quota numbers we are being held hostage to attend divisionals, it makes no difference if your division has singles doubles or triples you must attend. Just another way to push the low buck entry level racer into local tire classes. Yea the rich guys can take as many days away from home as they wish

I don?t are I?m just about done with the circus 😎

There are pros and cons and variables. All good discussion material for Tuesday. See you there.

Grade point concept was to attend division races for single point to attend national events. To get enough grade points to attend a national event, you'll probably need 8 for big nationals to 5 for smaller nationals. In some divisions you're going to be traveling long distances both to and from to get points. $$$
Time off to go to an event has to be calculated in. Having more than 1 event definitely helps. But time is still time off.
Divisional entry $160 or so. Payout $1,700 +- (local track $65 to enter, payout $2,000)
Contingencies, that's for a whole new thread.
Grade point concept would be great if you had 96+ car count at nationals, but instead they lowered the counts to ridiculous low figures. It's a mad house playing the waiting by the phone game for entry into a national. Makes no sense. It is almost like they don't want us there.
I'm for double divisional because it's two races. The grade point thing is a joke.
