The fact that you can go more rounds in the combo classes and get less points proves my statement.
Earlier in the year I was told If I didn't like it I should move my car up or down to a more populated class.
As it happens the guy that thought the whole thing up has never read a rule book (maybe another cost saving measure).
I would like to have chased this thing.

But if I ran 16 cars at every event I attended, and won. I still wouldn't even make the top five.

Art.... I agree with you on most points (ex....like more rds in combo gets less points).

HOWEVER... If you read the rules again, you will notice that 17 cars gets you 90 points in the combo. I read this after I entered Maple Grove in GT/IA (2 cars in class got me 85 points). If I would have entered in GT/JA (class I was in for 2 races prior to that event), It would have made it an 18 car combo field (me and other GT/IA racer would have added 2 more to combo class) thus awarding the winner 90 points instead of usual combo 80 points (for less than 17 car field). I could have wrapped up the SS automatic points chase if I would have won that 5 rd race. No one at Vegas could have got 90 points because all the class fields in SS are under 17 cars.

I wish I would have known that prior to the race.
