My solution to the The problem of the average sportsman not having a chance to win the championship is to change the way points are calculated to create a level playing field for all sportsman to have a chance to win the world championship . According to Mike carr 48% of touring pros won national events and 33% won divisional event swhich is a huge glaring figure even proving my point of the present points system iis not a good

one option is to only allow a sportsman to use so many races with in his division only count as points for the world championship . This would cut down some traveling even for the touring Pro sportsman .

another option is to then take the top 5 racers in each division and have a national even run off to decide the champion . NHRA could pay these racers to show up at an event to have the race>

another option is have a Lucas would champion only from the division races and then have a champion only for the national events races .

What I am trying to show is that there are really good racers who will never win the championship because they are not a Touring pro sportsman .

Some of the above options would also open up some More Sponsors to get involved with say the Divisional Lucas World champion and then The National Full Throttle World Champion

You need to start another thread about points.I agree with you that something should be changed.You are allowed to take your best 5 divisionals out of 8,yet some divisions only have 5 divisionals to begin with,which forces a lot of additional travel.Maybe best 5 of 6 or 7?

That being said,I still don't understand what this has to do with Pro Tree and Deep staging which started this whole thread.
