no provisionals.** How is it fair for cottle to miss the usac show at brownstown becouse of owners points from last year. Missing the show droped him down to 10th in points from 3rd. He will spend all summer trying to catch the top teams from last year . Thay have to have 5 bad night missing a show (using their 4 provisionals)untill they are back on the same playing field. I dont know how often last years champion took provisionals, and I wonder if sombody could figure the points and remove the points earned with provisionals, we might end up with a different champion. From a fans standpoint, I spent over $100 to go to brownstown to watch my favorite driver miss the show(he had a bad night). It was still a good show I got my moneys worth. Racing is a gamble and somtimes you lose. If (insert your favorite traveling group if it usac,kiss,umra,amsa, or whoever)wants to support their top drivers and help offset the bad nights pay them show up / tow money equal to what last place pays that night. I think the WoO still does this. It might never make a difference who wins a championship, but we know it made a difference in who finished 2nd last year in usac.

Just my thoughts, and trust me im nobody lol.......Dale
