CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - Have you heard what IHRA is thinking of doing with the points?

We heard about this over the weekend - I don't agree at all - a World Championship should be based on someones whole year performance and not their performance at one race. In my opinion it takes away a lot of the prestige of winning a World Championship, no longer who had the best season, but who had the best day at one particular race. I can respect the thought that it will give more people an opportunity to win it, but by doing this you're just lowering the standards. And when you lower the standards and you win it, it doesn't feel like as much of an accomplishment as it would have been in years past.
