Just how much money does it take to win the championship every year is a question also ? Just maybe a major sponsor could be found to sponsor the playoff race . Also just maybe a racer would not have to travel as much to get into the playoff just stay in his own division?

In my opinion, if you want to be a champion. you need to win or finish well often.
My thoughts are that if you win the playoff race , you did well at 1 race. not a championship.

I sure like the Jody Lang approach, primarily stays on the I-5 Corridor except for Boise and Vegas, fills his dance card quite nicely and seems to be in National and Division contention every year. So no, you don’t have to travel all that much or spend a fortune to win, but being a great driver always helps! (Brad Burton is another example).

Another question I have in order to win The National championship Do You have to win by spending the most money ??? Or in other words the person who spend the most wins the most all for the Purse of $10,000???

It should be noted that Allison got earned all of her points east of Columbus ,Ohio.
That being said, 8 and 6 is still a lot of races for a part-time racer.
If I were King of NHRA, I'd make it 6 and 4 , with two toss outs, total.
