Default Re: Do you think the divisional doubles are a good idea?

Right now, there are no doubles in D2 with a national open, only divisionals, meaning we only get to race 4 weekends a year not including nationals if you want to go to them. We get Orlando, Bby Gators, Double at SGMP, and a double at Rockingham (the sportsnats being moved to SGMP and being a double did add another weekend which is nice, but not typical). Anyway, that's only 4 weekends a year. To me, class racing is not a chore, it's a privilege and something I enjoy doing. I would certainly appreciate more than 4 events all year.

If I had it my way, All the divisionals would be separate on their own weekend paired with a national open, preferably all at different tracks so I can go new/different places. That'd give me two more weekends to hang out with my buddies, 12 grade points, and takes no more than one vacation day per weekend.
Dawson, I remember the old days with IHRA when if you wanted to run for points, no divisionals and you had to run 16 races to max out all the points. I ran from Cayuga ON to Jackson SC. I think your dad participated in that sillyness!! The Furrs,Doug and Tina Wood and list goes on!!
