What's up with NHRA logic? - Page 7

If the issue is local racers not being able to race in the closest Nationals, why not have "bonus point" based on home base of racer. Live within 300 miles of the race, you automatically have one extra point for local event. If you live 1000 miles away you dont. This would still allow most points to enter first but help locals enter sooner if they have been earning points.
Second thought it is obvious local SportsNational format works if it were expanded and advertised. Let the bracket racers have the fill in time for the National events. Racing at an NHRA event was always a highlight of my racing but with the dilution of the field to Super Comp, Super Gas, and Cutting of Class racers the drive to be there would slow....
Without 8 or 10 cars in a class to compete it appears to be less attractive.
