Div. 1 already has a comparatively easy travel schedule. By splitting the Division, you dilute the car counts you have, increase contingency costs & points awards, staffing, scheduling, etc. Part of what makes Div. 1 what it is, is the large car counts and stiff competition.

A couple of times, IHRA divided up Division 2 for their Bracket Finals events, at one time having as many as 3 subdivisions "to make travel easier". All it did was make the events smaller and less prestigious.
