Sheldon Kinser Jr. came up with this idea in my series but at a lesser deal. It was for anyone in the series that had not won a race (feature). So we called it a trophy dash and the only way to be in it was not have a feature win. Once you got 2 Trophy Dash wins or a feature win you were ineligible to race it...Same can be said for non feature winners race at a track. You could put up good money to win (say 1/3 of what the feature winner $$) and winner takes all...It would give the less fortunate of winning a chance to win against the same caliber of racers as he or she is...now this racer will go to the feature also that given night if they made it trough their series or track the way it is to make the feature for that night...This would be a stand alone race all on its on.
