(my problem is not with Eldora every track has its own rules) but the track rules should have been checked before the race was scheduled. I think it should be a NON POINT race. Fair is Fair. I realize its "Eldora" thats why it can be a NON POINT race becasue it is "ELDORA" everybodys still gonna come. If its gonna be as big as everybody says and all these people from out of state are coming I'm sure their not worried about points. As a racer how would you feel your running for rookie of there year (and have it at this second which I'm sure he will not after this weekend) have been to every race this year and then get an oh I'm sorry I know your dissappointed but theres nothing I can do. How about I just average out your pts and give you those for THIS RACE....uuuhhh how fair is that to the rest of you guys..... really. Hey dont worry about that because he changed his mind on that lastnight. MAKE IT A NON POINT RACE IS WHAT U CAN DO!!!!!
Good luck guys we will be there to watch

A long time ago Doug my son and I changed the name of the "points championship award" to "the perfect attendance award" It made racing a lot more fun for us. The points race is designed to get people to race at every race the group puts on.
The MMSA and AMSA are both supported by racers that do other things besides race, You know like vacations, swim meets for the kids, weddings and things like that.
A very simple rule change like allowing drivers to drop their worst one or two races to include no shows would be a great Idea.
This Eldora race has been in the making for over two years now and I think it great. I once had a driver that couldn't meet the age requirements at some tracks, we just didn't make that race. If you are a serious racer the court system has provided a way to beat the age thing "Emancipation" I do not recommend this option.
Looks like our water pump is not going to be here on time so I guess we will be up with you in the stands or at least I hope down in the pits

PS.
The nice thing about a dictator is he can change the rules whenever he wants to. Why not talk it over at the drivers meeting?
