The Present Points system to win the World Championship need
The Present Points system to win the World Championship needs fine tunning to go to at least 14 events to win $15,000 in Super Stock and $10,000 in Stock is a pathetic purse The racer has to spend a huge amount of money to win no doubt calculating all expenses including Cost of towing vehicles etc. , Now this is what I would like to see the winner and runner up of each Division Championship race go to a neutral track for a shoot out to determine the National Championship, No out of division races count must strictly be in your division that you claim at the start of the racing year , This system would make the cost very affordable for Most of the racers plus a company give more money to the winners by getting a specific sponsor for the “World Finals Shoot Out” , say sponsored By the car manufacturers or some high profile company that would like to be involved in Sponsoring but does not want to pay the high cost of a national event with the pros , Or have 10 companies sponsor this race at $5,000 each for the purse . Flame away lol

Re: The Present Points system to win the World Championship
I think that’s how it used to be. Whoever won the world finals was the champion for the next year. Wasn’t centrally locate though. You are right the purse is low for winning a national championship. That won’t change unfortunately.

Re: The Present Points system to win the World Championship
So.....Someone who has a perfect season, with the exception of a "Special Race", can loose to a person...who quite possibly never won a race the entire year...and was not even a division winner.
Yah.....No!!! |

Quote:
then I also won a world championship as Don describes. they took the top three out of every division, and anyone that had won a national event, and we all had a big race at the end of the year and I believe the first one might’ve been Rockingham and then later in Memphis, I came out of the number three slot in the division, and won that race, it made me a world champion. I really didn’t feel like it. of course I took the money and all the glory, but it just wasn’t the same and I feel sorry for all those that had collected way more points. I gotta agree with bill Grubbs. It’s not the way to have a championship when you could win and not win a single race, while someone else had a near perfect season but loose in the winner take all race.

Re: The Present Points system to win the World Championship
The division champion and the runner up can go to the Shoot out This solves the high costs of having to travel to over 14 races We are sportsman not travling pros is best to know in My opinion

Re: The Present Points system to win the World Championship
Oh really! When the Ivory Tower guys look out at the Sportsmen pits today and see all of those high-end motor coaches I would think that you're going to have a pretty hard time convincing them of that!

Re: The Present Points system to win the World Championship
we have a new system here in Oz this season . A western and eastern conference , you can run as much as you want with a 300 point cap plus travel bonus (only given at 1 or 2 tracks)points stay in conference .You can run both conferences if you choose . Then an invitational to national grand final for national #1 etc . This is based off your best 4 results racing in any conference but you must do 1 away(interstate) race , you all go in on zero points so winner is #1.
This does help to lower travel costs , but only to a degree as we have long hauls between tracks , minimum 10hours to closest away track for me . I think racers from Western Oz have to travel 2 -2 1/2 days to next track . And you would cry if you saw the $ on offer , I doubt you would open your trailers. Tex |
