    Need stronger car count for CMC. Get in there Al.
    You should sponsor your director, he'd reward you with a nice crisp high five.

    I'm going to start auctioning things to fund my entry fee. First item up is a copy of the tech program.

    Thursday – Optional Test/Tune
    Friday – Practice, Qualifying Round 1, Qualifying Round 2 (best time from either session)
    Saturday – Warmup, Qualifying Race
    Sunday – Championship Races gridded by finishing position from Qualifying Race

    How can a National event results count for a Regional championship standing?

    Josh, are you saying you wish you hadn't signed up for the Thursday practice?

    I'm also concerned with only 1 Qualifying race. Haven't they always had 2 qualifying races at previous National events that average into the starting position for the Championship race? That makes qualifying and the 1 qual race way more important now.

    I talked to Will and here is what he said about it counting toward regional points:

    "The hosting region for the National Championship race has been required by the national office to have it be part of their regional race structure for the past few years. The racers still have their opportunity for drops."


    For our series we have 5 drops for the season.

    So I'm guessing we will have 2 races that count towards points at the Championships. That gives a total of 21 races for the year (assuming we get 4 races at NOLA) and 20% being drops, would give us 4.2 races or rounded down to 4 drops for the year. Is this correct?

    Will wanted to give us 4 drops and I negotiated with him to give us 5... One weekend (4 races) for "life getting in the way" and one race extra for a mechanical, poor finish, etc.

    I've tried for years to get RM region to count Nationals as a points race for regional championship in hoping it would get more cars to Nationals. It didnt work. I think many years ago when Nats were at Miller
    we counted it as double points in hopes of attracting more cars. Since then Nationals have never counted for RM regional points.
