So, why did you write this second paragraph about life being unfair?

Secondly, Is it fair to award a divisional championship to a racer who only competed in three of the six divisional home races when the 2nd or 3rd place finisher competed in all six. The 2 nd 3rd finishers appear to be penalized because they work, have limited vacation, and are balancing life and racing budgets, thus minimizing their ability to travel, etc. As I noted in the original post, 40% of the divisional winners from 2018 to 2008 would have been different if only in-division point were used, that's not a small percentage.

This logic only works if the racer lives in the middle of the division.
