The 21 national events are spread around the country as follows:
D1: 2
D2: 4
D3: 4
D4: 1
D5: 3
D6: 1
D7: 6
I'll never argue that the current system has no flaws. It is more or less fair to the racers who support the series, and everyone should know the requirements by now. Every racer has a choice to do what is required or not.
Running a full schedule, whether divisional-only or national, is a huge commitment and I understand why some are unable or unwilling to do it. I just don't understand the constant bitching about it.

Everything you are saying is pretty much true.The problem begins when someone with 7 grading points can't enter a race like the Gatornationals.
But as it gets closer,people are withdrawing with 8 and giving their buddy or selling their buddy the spot who might only have 2 or 3 grading points.
And how many people are going to be in the Top 20 if they haven't been to at least 3 National events by the end of the year? And is a guy from New Jersey really going to travel to California because they are 20th and still got a shot?
