I count like 25 or 26 races so far. We will usually loose 4 or 5 races to weather. That leaves us with about 20 races for the season. The reason for a points championship in racing is to get the best turn out of racers possible for each race. With so many races penned in already would it be smart to let the racers drop their worse 1 or 2 races from counting into the points championship. I like to call the championship the perfect attendance award.

Many things happen in the summer time like weddings, vacations, graduations ect. By giving the racers a grace race or two, would that not actually help with car counts? It has always been the case that if a racer missed a race they would take the attitude what the heck ain't no sense trying to make any more races because I'm already out of the chase.

There are very few professional racers amongst us. We all have obligations that come before racing.

Do yo think that if you could be given a race or two to drop from your points chase, would that make you more or less likley to try to make more races in the chase for the points championship? I realize that we have a few races this season that are going to be a long haul for many of us, maybe they should be worth a few more points to try to get a better count for them.
