Since INDY is such a sought after race to go to every year why don't we have the entry system that doesn't involve grade points it involves performance at the previous years Divisionals.

Each Division designates 3 Divisionals that are considered "Indy Qualifiers" take each racers average of those 3 races qualifying times (their final qualifying time not of every pass) and qualify the TOP 160 or what ever the quota is that particular year. These racers have until a certain day to enter then let the next 60 enter the following week and release the next 60 each week until the race fills.. that way Indy is more likely to have the best cars there every year not some guy who can only go -.500 holding a spot because he has 8 grade points. This might also force some guys to run there stuff hard more often to make sure they get an invite and may speed up the AFHS system a bit.

Just a thought. Though I'm also all for the Class winners auto making the field and then filling from the fastest non winners to fill the 128 car field. Make it worth a little extra to be the best in your class that year.
