I like 4 drops for this season, but what are we doing with the MAM event? I assume that's still just a NASA MidWest event, rather than a cross-over... do our points from those races count? What if we made it an optional event by counting the points, but also adding 2 more drops for the people who participated in it?
As for the season points in general, I really can't support them being sold or inherited. It's a drivers championship, so I want to earn any success that I may have, and I want my competitors to do the same, otherwise it has no meaning and it's not fun. If someone wants to win the season championship, then they need to actually race with us and earn those points, not just buy Dirks' car and inherit his points. If Rick wants to drive Gary's car and earn points with him, then that's good with me... just use NASA's provisions for having two drivers share one car and the season points as a team. The intent of that is for two drivers to share the costs of racing one car, and not for it to be manipulated into a competitive advantage, so I'm satisfied as long as we stay true to that.
Being that teams are going to be involved this year, what if we added a team points championship that's separate from the drivers points championship? For example, we allow two cars to form a team, and then whomever gets the most points each race will have that number of points counted towards their team's season total... and that way, people who are not on a team can still be a part of this and potentially competitive, although possibly at a little bit of a disadvantage without having a teammate to make up for any setbacks.
