At 7 rounds the runner-up would get 94, semis 83, etc.

No point is trying to be made, sorry! I was curious as to the rational used to structure the points system and the awarding of points for both in-division and out-of-division races. Keeping in mind the divisional series was developed for racers to race closer to home, and allowing racers to choose a division that best fits their location. Secondly, Is it fair to award a divisional championship to a racer who only competed in three of the six divisional home races when the 2nd or 3rd place finisher competed in all six. The 2 nd 3rd finishers appear to be penalized because they work, have limited vacation, and are balancing life and racing budgets, thus minimizing their ability to travel, etc. As I noted in the original post, 40% of the divisional winners from 2018 to 2008 would have been different if only in-division point were used, that's not a small percentage. |

I believe you mentioned "Life" in your first comment to this thread, and I don't believe life is unfair, do you? Furthermore, there has been some great points, as you mentioned, based on a racer's local with respect to the divisions, not sure if you read the entire thread. NHRA has no control over where we live, our family situations or our finances. However, if the current layout of the divisions excludes a large number of racers from competing in a chosen division, then we should discuss a new structure? |

I think MJ is the only person that won seven rounds at a stock race and not win the race. I was just trying to help MJ remember his stealer performance at the first Class Nationals. As they say "The knees are the second thing to go and I can't remember what was the first is"
