IHRA is FAR (VERY FAR) from being a "perfect organization",but how else could they crown a "World Champ"?
If they went to a format where you take your best 3 of 6 Nationals like NHRA,there probably wouldn't be more than 10 total people in the running for the "World Championship".
They don't have races any where near over half of the United States.
I know this isn't the best way to do it,but lets hear some better ideas.

For starters, the racers that support the divisions should be the only one's to have a shot at the "world championship" and not a one -shot wonder. Secondly, w/ all of the sports nationals they've set up now it's much easier to get national event points...still they could drop back to the best 2 of 3 nationals or something along those lines plus your divisonal points. Just my .02
