Unfortunately it is a flawed system. After blowing a gasket reading all of these selfish comments, I do understand IHRA's situation, if the car counts were up and tracks made profits from Pro-ams in DIV1 you better believe MIR would have rescheduled. The Millers are great people, but this is there livelihood and no track wants a race that looses $$.

No disrespect to other Div1 racers, but I am in 4th in superstock with a good chance of making the TOC for the first time in SS, but my business will not allow me to go to Darlington (12hrs) or London (10hrs)...my problem.

they tried but no tracks would take this race all are book through the end of year from what i heard...yes i will admit i am happy about being able to claim darlington but if it came down to traveling to kentucky or anywhere else i would have done just that,as i feel i had a equal chance of bettering myself as you did..it cant be any worse than going to martin mich. 2 years in a row it took us 9 hours to get to MIR with all the troubles we had and 6 to get home, you can't pawn it off on all NC races being happy we traveled the road this year and years past chasing points, this situation just came out good and bad some people
