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.
