I see that there are several less divisional races than 2009. Div. 6 goes from 7 down to 5, and one of those is "TBA"!?

And with only 5 In-Division races available for them, they'll only be able to claim their best 5 of *7*, not the best 5 of 8 like all the other Divisions, since the Rulebook still states you can only claim a max of 2 "out". This puts all of the drivers in that Division at a disadvantage in the National championship chase.

With less races in a given Division, most racers are going to have to travel a lot further to get 8 races in, too.

That rule only applies to only Divisional points total. National points you can count the best 5 out 8 regardless of home or out of division.

Also note that you have to claim 3 out of your 5 best races counting towards your divisional point total as home division races. So its possible to run only 3 home division races and then run 5 out of division races claiming the best 2 out of those 5 out of division races towards your divisional points total. Clear as mud!

What happened to Div Six races? Spokane I can understand since there seems to be confusion again over whether it'll be running. But there are still several other tracks to potentially hold one, Medford, PIR, Yellowstone, Ashcroft, Medicine Hat...
