Assuming that IHRA lets you run at "ALL" National events & "ALL" Divisional events to "win"your way Into the Chapionship race it keeps eveyone equal until the last race. "Racers thought", All I have to do is win one race! So you keep chasing races until you win or run out of time & money.

Right there is the bottum line! All there thinking about is how to line there bank accounts They're not thinking about the racers bank account! So now if you don't win a race in the first 5 nationals you'll keep going to the rest til you do or til you run out of $$$$$$$$$$$!

The purpose behind the 3 out 5 nationals or 6 out of 8 divisionals is so that you dont have to spend a gazillion dollars to chase a championship!

It's a shame because they made a couple of GREAT decisions the last couple of years that showed that they realized it was getting more expensive than most could afford......eg. Double points meets & the
sportsman national w/ a double points meet! Both were GREAT ideas!

Then they go & pull a stunt like this! Like Chip said, I don't like it & I certainly don't agree with it, but I'll be there!
