The facility has gone downhill there. A shame.

It looks like Div. 2 racers will have to travel to 2 out of division races to get their max of 8.

That is the case with every division except for Div. 3, but we'd have to travel quite a bit to get 8 "In" as most of the races are singles.

I am a bit confused, the div 1 schedule says MIR as a national but div.9 can claim it as a in div. points race. will div 1 be able to claim it as well? and if so, as an in div or out?
|
There are several events that serve as a wild card which can be claimed as an In-Division claim for two different divisions.
MIR 1 & 9
Carolina 2 & 9
Pittsburgh 1 & 3

Nobody is going to go to West Palm for a one race national event as opposed to a two race event at Darlington. Stupid decision.

Palm Beach and Darlington were never on the same date, so there is no basis for comparison. Darlington was dropped on its own merits (or lack thereof). Again, I like the place, but it's sorely in need of a lot of attention. And for the record, when I lived in NC, I attended one-race national events at Palm Beach more than once.
After attending 0 IHRA events in 2014, I'm looking forward to next season... so far I have 6 LODRS, 4 NHRA Nat'l, 5 Pro-Ams, 4 IHRA Nat'ls, 8+ big money races, 3 expos/trade shows, and 5 Loose Rocker events on my calendar... with a couple of holes to fill yet!
I'd let my membership lapse in October. I'm going to sign back up now.
