Open Field or Not?

I think so.
2 things to ponder
If you had came it would'nt matter you get the points.
If it had not rained you get the same amount you got now.

You did;nt show so same result whether it rained or not.

You are still passing by the point here. Why is it getting treated differently with the claims being made at Darlington than it would be if the claims would be a a rescheduled MIR event?

Its the fact that there is no re-schedule of the MIR event and there were no availible tracks to hold the event or any that are within reason for the northern guys and southern guys..what they did with the Darlington and London races are giving the people who made the trip to MIR the chance to get there full claims in...to clarify what Chippy said if you didnt go to MIR and they had raced you would be out by not enough claims....its really a win lose situation but i guess the main thing is what would have happend if we got the races in at MIR then those that couldnt make it to the race wouldn't get enough in claims

think about how much this has to suck for the true div.1 guys. a lot are from NY, upper PA, and even Canada, to ask them to make a trip to SC. or KY. is a slap in the face. they don't live in 1 state with all their div. races. we can all take it or leave it. if you really have an issue you should grow a pair and tell the whole gang what they can do with it!

Keith,
The Northern east coast racers have a legitimate gripe.
The NY,OHIO,Mich and Canada racers are closer to London than MIR.

The NC/VA racers have options of KY or SC.

The racers that really have it bad are the ones that have to go to both to get 8 races in.

The only thing i see wrong is that maybe some of the racers already have plans other than racing on labor day weekend .for example Danny jr has made plans with his wife and child to go see his wife's dad and family in Alabama for the weekend..not that it is a life or death thing , but he did have a mathematical chance to at least get in the top 3 for a trip to Memphis ,but not now.....and he did go to MIR and stayed all weekend....Guess he will go to Columbus in 2 weeks.......need to go back to the old points system in my opinion.....

What does IHRA pay if you win the division in your class? Forget about the Memphis race, if you win the Division, how much $, etc. do you get?

From Rochester NY (where 5 cars that have a chance for the top 3) is 665 miles to London ky and 775 miles to Darlington Sc.
