It also appears that the mandatory minimum of 4 cars for a championship race has been removed this year. Wonder if it will continue next year.

Wouldn't think it would be an issue for CMC since some of us who might struggle to go can make COTA work. I had tentative plans this year... but I'm already working on firm '18 plans.
I would guess the AICMCTexas group will have at least a conversation (if not a thread here) by the January '18 season opener.

NASA Tx ran MSRC 3 times the first year I raced with them.
No reason a repeat in opposing directions cant be had to fill the schedule.

I'm in Mid Atlantic (Virginia) and hope to make the haul to COTA next year too. Will certainly try to talk a couple regional guys to come also but it's about a 24 hour tow.......and I'm old enough that towing that long on my own is going to be a problem!

do hpde sessions count towards nats? Trying to get all my races in on one weekend.

Nope, but you might be able to run TT.
2017 Racing requirements:
5 points paying races (or competing at three weekends)
Up to 2 TT points days count toward the five races
Enduro of any length counts as two races
Any registered team member planning to compete must complete the qualifications individually

So it's either a non-Toyo invert, or an additional weekend.
Pretty sure National Champion is about racing in a Regional series and then going to a National Championship to race against other regional series competitors.
Not a one race wonder who thinks he is the National Champion by racing in one event.

Hmmm, "5 points paying races" is something I havent thought about before. I thought its 5 points races, doesnt matter if they are inverted, standing start, flying start, etc.
Guess it would be worth it to get an exact definition of "paying", is that simply a race that pays in the way of points or is it only races that are a Toyo paying race. I'm gonna say its simply points races.
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.
