Last paragraph - I would hope by now you see my point that no, it requires full use of all allowable races to chase a championship. Like I said before, I don't think it has been done under the current system with anything less than 100% attendance.
Instead of injecting my opinion here, let me just ask you: How many races should a racer have to attend to "earn" the National Championship?

Different sanction, but for what it's worth Bertozzi and I finished 1-2 in IHRA Stock a couple years ago with only 5/6 Nationals.

The last year I raced the car I couldn't make the top half of the field! The specs are the same, the HP factor is the same and the ETs are a bit faster. BUT nothing that changed in the rules benefitted my combo. So what do I do?
Well! "Work harder" of course! (Isn't that what they always say?) Good thing they don't say it within earshot of you.... LOL
