 In our Super Comp Association, we only count 10 of the 13 scheduled races but the last few years a lot of our events got cancelled due to tracks selling, re-paving, weather, etc. We haven't gotten enough in to not count any.

Now, now, while I would certainly encourage as many SOHC/4 participants as possible, I want it fair and square! Besides, once we make the later rounds we will be laddered up anyway. Definitely looking forward to seeing everybody that can make it.  8)

No doubt you're still green to the race game. Yes, it can be a game sometimes. I want you to give some thought to why most Motorsports teams have multiple cars and one true star in the bunch. NHRA, IRL, Nascar all have multicar teams. Nothing illegal, nothing immoral,  it's just a part of the game. It take nothing away from the primary driver because he/she still has to win, one on one. But in the end, taking out a close competitor to allow the primary to gain the advantage is just smart racing.
