You are looking at it backwards....
I believe they should (for their own good)... lower the quotas on ALL nationals (38-48 cars maybe).
What do you think that would do?
It would force everyone to attend more $180 entry fee points meets to get more grade points. (and they pay 1/3rd of what a national pays!!!).
It would make the grade point system work.

Now... Is that what I want....NO!
I'm just stating that it would force everyone to support the points meets.
