I got several hours in creating this... I really have nothing better to do.
Cool Bill, sounds like you have the data part covered. Was just throwing out my services if needed. Let me know if you ever need any help on that end. I like your points system. As you said, you can make it very complicated, but I don't see a need. As you said, some shows won't have the same caliber of drivers, but in most of those cases, those drivers only run that track. So the cream will rise which is the point. I also think USAC races should count because most of the guys run local stuff too. There aren't enough races for a "USAC only" driver to win. You would have to run other sanctions and local shows to have enough points so it's fair to me.

I'm still in for whatever the final program shapes up to be.
