The MMSA website doesn't specify an age limit for the series in their rules. A young driver starting out with the series would have to assume that he or she would be good to race wherever the series scheduled an event. I understand that you can't make everyone happy, but I don't think this is an issue that requires a complete reconstruction of the way points are calculated, I just think that this particular instance needs correcting. Complete information regarding the event wasn't even available until a week or so ago. Anyone that works all week, drives to the track, tears up their stuff, goes home, spends money, puts it back together, and shows up every single time for the next one, deserves his fair shot. It takes a tremendous amount of loyalty and commitment to run an entire series' schedule. I think this is an amazing opportunity for mini sprints to run at a facility of this caliber, so I have nothing against the race itself (still think it'll be a wild one). All I'm saying is that if the age restriction at Eldora is going to shake up the points and rookie title, I vote the next race has an age MAXIMUM of 15yrs. to even things back up.
