    I believe it's points races. And don't think they have to all be in one class. Somebody smart answer this man's questions.

    I'm just glad the east/west coast thing is over and we are back to a real one championship race.

    Not a one race wonder who thinks he is the National Champion by racing in one event.

    NASA has had the same nationals qualifications for a long time and for you to say that people that can't/don't run the whole season are not real national champions is a pretty big insult to a lot of people who have won the big show in the past. A national championship race is up against the best in the country and while I do agree winning the year long points battle is prestigious it is still not the same as racing up against the best from all over the U.S. in one event. When you actually compete in nationals you will understand. In the past all points races were counted as a "race" toward nationals unless something changed recently? I will confirm with Will.

    We've never been asked to prove we've met any of the criteria, including as a team in the 5 championship events we've competed in.
    I would argue that it's any points race. Think about Hawk Bucks: you can get them based on your best finish of the weekend as they don't require you to declare which is/isn't for that contingency.

    It's any points race in any car/racing class.

    Personally I'm very excited to have one nationals event and that said event is at COTA. I'm fairly sure that weekend will cost more than the recent Tx region only event, which is a bummer, but hopefully the extra hoopla and additional drivers makes up for it. As to the Tx schedule...yeah, bummed about the relatively few number of events.

    Were there rumblings of an ECR resurface? Or am I imagining things?

    I hope, I love that place!!
    Last I heard they have sold off percentages of the business and they are owned by multiple people, making decisions hard to agree on.
    I do hope we are able to go back there soon. Last time we raced there it was pretty bumpy but not terrible.

    You heard right. Apparently they recently cancelled an event to do some grinding for part of the short term solution.

    We have a contractor here in house at work that's pretty familiar with the facility - I'll get an update if I can.

    The biggest thing I noticed about the schedule is that there are no TBDs. Does anyone know if there is an intent or desire by management to add an event or two if the opportunity arises?
