Given the mode of two races for one tow why not make the first day of the National event a division race and use the qualifying from that race to fill the reduced field for the National event. I don't think the model of Brainerd last year worked at all. That way you get a grade point and a chance to race the National event. It doesn't effect the racers that travel to the "big show" as a semi-pro sportsman but it lets the local a chance to get into the race. Years ago there was a single pit pass with any National event entry the way I remember it. I think that there use to be points for both qualifying and setting a record. The biggest problem I have seen in the years I have raced is the disconnect that the powers that be have to the "members" that are interested in making the "big show" but can't for different reasons, personal, business, logistical.
