Damien, I'm not trying to pick a fight, but that doesn't sound like the 100% support for the new system that IHRA quoted you as saying. Honestly, I'm with you on this one, as I think the WORLD CHAMPION should need to do more than win one national event and the Rockingham shootout. Just like I don't believe the drivers that finish 2nd in division points should be invited to the Rockingham shootout. If they didn't win a national event, and they weren't good enough to be better than their division champion, why should they be eligible for the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP???
Makes no sense to me. But, the way it stands now, the new points structure benefits me, as it was highly unlikely that I ever would have been world champion with the old format as I was never going to go to 5+ IHRA division events. Now, I just need to win my IHRA national event, and I'm going to Rockingham baby!
