WHAT I SEE IS THE OLD WAY OF CALCULATING POINTS IS NOT A GOOD SYSTEM BECAUSE POINTS ARE SO FAR APART. IF ONLY 4 CARS RACE- THE ROUND ONE LOSERS GET 2 POINTS EACH;THE RUNNER UP GETS 9 POINTS(4 ELIM RND PTS+5 PTS)AND THE WINNER GETS 16 POINTS(6 ELIM RND PTS+10PTS). IF A DRIVER DOES SEVERAL RACES AND DOESN'T GET A WIN OR RUNNER UP THEY HAVE A SLIM CHANCE TO BE THE CLASS CHAMP FOR THE YEAR. BUT..... IF YOU GIVE 10 POINTS TO WINNER, 9 POINTS TO RUNNER UP, 8 POINTS TO QUARTER FINAL LOSERS, ETC DOWN THE LADDER THE SAME 4 CAR RACE WOULD GIVE THE WINNER 10 POINTS, RUNNER UP 9 POINTS, AND THE 2 LOSERS WOULD EACH GET 8 POINTS. I THINK THIS WOULD GIVE EVERYONE A BETTER CHANCE TO BE IN THE RUN FOR THE CLASS CHAMPIONSHIP. THIS SAMPLE DOES NOT INCLUDE REGISTERATION POINTS. THIS COULD ENCOURAGE MORE RACER TO COME TO RACES IF THEY HAD A SHOT AT THE CLASS CHAMPION IF YOU COUNT 5 OR 8 RACES. JUST AN IDEA/SUGGESTION.
IN DRAG RACING, SECOND PLACE IS JUST THE LAST LOOSER. |

CARL, GARY, DENNIS, C.BROWN, KEN, TOMMY, B.HUNTER399 AND MYSELF HAVE ALL GIVEN OUR SUGGESTIONS ON THIS TOPIC. THIS IS ONLY 8 OF 44 MEMBERS, SO FAR.COME ON RACERS SPEAK UP OR DONT COMPLAIN NEXT YEAR. I LOVE THE SPORT AND ONLY WANT THE BEST FOR THE SPORT. I DO AGREE LAST YEARS POINTS SYSTEM WAS BAD,MAYBE WITH RACERS HELP IT CAN BE FIXED.

CITYFIED HAS A POINT. IT WOULD BE NICE TO SEE YOUR POINTS POSTED ON THE WEB. EVEN IF YOU CANT WIN THE POINTS RACE.(LIKE ME) BUT IT MIGHT BE FUN TO SEE WHO IS IN THE RACE FOR LAST.(SWAG OR T&A TEAM)
JUST FUNNING

| OK- I'M WITH CARL ON THIS (I THINK). IF I DRIVE TO YUMA OR PHOENIX OR WASHINGTON STATE I SHOULD BE ABLE TO SCORE 1ST PLACE POINTS. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CAR COUNT!! I DID MY PART!! I'M HERE TO RACE!! IF YOU DIDN'T MAKE IT I'M SORRY. I PREPPED MY CAR TO RACE. I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING DIFFERENT FOR THIS RACE THAN I DO FOR THE BIG ONE! NO ONE EVER KNOWS WHAT THE CAR COUNT WILL BE. IF IT'S LOW I MAY ONLY GET $40 FOR 1ST PLACE. THAT IN ITSELF IS PUNISHMENT ENOUGH FOR COMING. I STILL PAID THE SAME ENTRY FEE AS THE RACE WHEN 30 CARS SHOWED! AND MY TRUCK STILL GOT 8 MPG TO & FROM. START WITH 1ST & COUNT BACKWARDS- YOU CAN'T PENALIZE SOMEONE FOR BEING THE ONLY ONE THAT SHOWED UP!AND I LIKE THE IDEA OF 5 OUT OF 8 OR HOWEVER MANY RACES THERE ARE. MOST PEOPLE WILL HAVE AT LEAST 1 OR 2 RACES THEY CAN'T MAKE. THEREFORE THEY SHOULDN'T BE PENALIZED FOR HAVING A LIFE AFTER RACING. NOT EVERYONE IS LIKE ME AND GRUMPY!!!!!!!!!!! SNAKE |

BACK TO THE POINTS IN 2007. DO THE POINTS STAY WITH THE DRIVER OR CAR OR TEAM? IF YOU CHANGE CARS OR DRIVER DURING THE YEAR WHAT HAPPENS TO THE POINTS? ALSO WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU CHANGE CLASSES?ONE LAST THING WILL THE SPORTSMAN CLASSES HAVE A POINTS RACE TOO?
ALWAYS THINKING
