So, why did you write this second paragraph about life being unfair?

Secondly, Is it fair to award a divisional championship to a racer who only competed in three of the six divisional home races when the 2nd or 3rd place finisher competed in all six. The 2 nd 3rd finishers appear to be penalized because they work, have limited vacation, and are balancing life and racing budgets, thus minimizing their ability to travel, etc. As I noted in the original post, 40% of the divisional winners from 2018 to 2008 would have been different if only in-division point were used, that's not a small percentage.

This logic only works if the racer lives in the middle of the division.

GUMP,

I believe you mentioned "Life" in your first comment to this thread, and I don't believe life is unfair, do you? Furthermore, there has been some great points, as you mentioned, based on a racer's local with respect to the divisions, not sure if you read the entire thread.

NHRA has no control over where we live, our family situations or our finances. However, if the current layout of the divisions excludes a large number of racers from competing in a chosen division, then we should discuss a new structure?
