Level the field

I think that the way racers will qualify for the shootout is cool. However, I don't think that a one race shootout is the best way to determine a champion. Too many variables.

Why not make it a three race shootout, fri, sat, sun at the finals with points accumulating to determine the champ. Similar to the old B&M series weekend points. This wouldn't eliminate all of the variables (catastrophic mechanical failure, not being able to attend for whatever reason, etc.), but the better racers will usually perform better overall - and it would require a more consistent performance as opposed to having the chance of luck playing a major role in winning a one race shootout.
