Not really.
If we have 6 weekends, a 15% drop rate covers a full weekend. This is so someone can attend a family event w/out fear of dropping out of the points race. That means 5 weekends are required (20 races).
If we have 8 weekends, a 15% drop rate covers a full weekend and a day. That means 6.75 weekends are required to be in the points race. It basically adds 2 weekends to the require number of weekends to stay in the points chase.
The fix is (if we want to target 5 weekends like it was in the past) is to increase the drop % until we get there. One year we moved it to 20% for I think a 7 weekend schedule. It went back down when we went back to a 6 weekend schedule. The drop rate is in the CMC rules. Since this change would not affect other regions, I see no reason why we couldn't set our own Regional drop rate.

Not something I'm willing to do for a season I'm not going to be in control of. Time for that new leader to step up.
