I agree that it seems unfair to award full points when only a few racers

show up, but if someone goes to the trouble to promote an event and secure a

date on the OBRA calendar shouldn't it be worth as much as any race in

Oregon (points wise)?



We don't want to artificially make "Portland" Races more important (that is

races that have the shortest distance to the masses). If people are really

that interested in BAR and we implement this rule will we see remote races

start struggling.



It's late in the season, there is a hot battle for BAR, but you suspect that

the race down in Eugene won't be well attended so even if your rival goes

he/she can't get enough points to overtake you. So you don't go. Is that

what we want ? I drive to Portland for a lot of Races but like having a few

in my back yard as well.



If Bar points are your interest then maybe you should go to more races !



Just sharing my thoughts !
