The Racers should have some significant incentive waving in front of them if they are expected to go fast enough to take a HP hit. What is it worth to set a Natl. Record? Zip. Number 1 qualifier at a Natl. Event ? Nada. I was recently #1 at a points meet, triggered the first (it takes two) -1.00 towards a HP review and never even got my name mentioned.
Wave the right carrot and we'll go fast. And a Wally ain't it.
I agree but what if the points awarded for setting a record or winning class or #1 qualifier were comparable to winning the eliminator? Would that be reason enough to turn em loose? Maybe someone that wasn't an excellent bracket racer and more into the performance end of it could win the championship. I know there are some that would fit that bill.
