In California almost all series have had this rule. It is even at the micro level. It sucks and some have tried to get the series and tracks to move away from this rule, but the revenue always wins. What does this rule do? It makes racers pay $250 for sprint car RR that is worth $150 and similar cost increases for the other three corners. The only racer that benefits from the points fund is the points champion. No one else gets enough money at the end of the season to pay for the cost of tires. I hate monopolies
