Re: "Just A Thought"
Double events or eliminations at one event and you save 1/2 the travel and food and etc. Only problem would be time to complete events. I always enjoyed going to that many events as a family outing though.

Re: "Just A Thought"
Div. 1 already has a comparatively easy travel schedule. By splitting the Division, you dilute the car counts you have, increase contingency costs & points awards, staffing, scheduling, etc. Part of what makes Div. 1 what it is, is the large car counts and stiff competition.
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,

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

Re: "Just A Thought"
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. Sean

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. Ron Ortiz U/SA Patriots vs Billsgiantsjets

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...
