Kanawha Valley was a single race, surrounded by double-headers. People filled up their points races with those double-headers. When the MIR double ran into rain, a bunch of guys switched to Div. 3. It all added up to killing the race. A similar thing happened to the New York International event - a single around all doubles, and scheduled on top of a National Open in New Jersey, and bad weather to boot.

Just rumor, but I heard that tracks needed to upgrade to concrete guardwalls instead of guardrail in order to have a Divisional.
