Since I'm not in any danger of winning any series in the foreseeable future (unless I outlive all the M60+) or getting an upgrade (what does an M60+ upgrade to?) I have no dog in this hunt. So in my unbiased opinion I'd have to agree with Scott/John. It's a little more complicated, but a lot more fair.

Technically the only way to win a series is to come in 7 th or 8th place every race. I attempted this in 2013, but could not finish the series due to family.

Hi OBRA Land
I wanted to throw out there an idea about upgrading. What about timing the mandatory upgrades at the end of race series? or between race series? The reason Im saying this is that I think that if some one works hard on winning a series and then gets a mandatory upgrade one race before the final race I don't think that is entirely fair.... I'm sure that there are going to be exceptions to this. But it would seem to me that this would make more sense. other wise you could work the points system so you don't get enough points to be upgraded but enough to win after the leaders have been upgraded... Thus winning by not winning... I would like to say this would not apply to sandbagging...
Thoughts?
