I echo Ken's sentiments. We go through a lot to be able to run national events, running divisionals and accumulating grade points. For local racers to be able to waltz into a national event and get preferred pit spaces and, in some cases, pay no fee is just wrong. If you want to run a national event and earn a wally, run one of the contested classes and start going to divisionals. Weekly bracket racers should aspire to move up, not be "showcased". This cheapens the wally.
