A couple of times, IHRA divided up Division 2 for their Bracket Finals events, at one time having as many as 3 subdivisions "to make travel easier". All it did was make the events smaller and less prestigious.

$.02,

I can see an advantage and that racers can attend the other Divisional races.

NE is fairly compact compared to the rest of the country.

Or, if you don't like your local Division, you could always move.........

Pete, or any D1 guys,

What is the typical travel to a divisional race in hrs one way? It's all relative to your location and how many tracks you have to pick and chose from.

Hey Pistol Pete, are you sure this is not one of those Red Sox / Yankees thing. It sure looks that way to me.

Beard is on the money with his observation.

I'm close to 4 tracks for my Divisional Races.
I'm not complaining for me, it's the guys up in Canada, Mass, N.E. area that have far more miles to tow than i do.

The other benefit would be 8 Divisions, easier for the Jegs Allstars...

Never know Jim, retiring soon.

Hey save me a spot by you & have Plenty of Cold Yuengling's & a power outlet.

My car will never be as clean as yours but I'm sure your parked on pavement.

I proposed to NHRA quite a few years ago this option.
If a racer travels more than 500 miles to an event,open or LODRS, give the racer
TWO grade points.
Never heard from them again.
Go figure!?
