But that has nothing to do with engine rules.  |

I always liked the title "Perfect attendance award" better. That means that you attended all the races and finished better than all the others that attended all the races. In other words "Championships" were designed by promoters for promoters to encourage participation in their races.
I guess that was Brad Kuhn talking about Championships. His first ride in a Midget size car was in a 600cc upright Mini Sprint at Salem's Thunder Valley. We had a lot of championships in Quarter Midgets back in the day also but everyone recognized that "Light A" was the Championship of Championships, when you had to move up into heavy it was time to retire, and you only won that Championship at a Grand National Race.
