Dave,
I don't think it would matter if you counted just the cars doing both events. Because you really couldn't get enough points in a single event to take the overall win...unless the differential in car counts between the two events were really biased. I would also not give any point to DNS and DNF cars.

We are planning on doing the two events...providing I can find the pesky gremlin.

Using your 34 v. 20 scenario, two tenths and a DNF at Laguna would beat two wins at Portland?

So maybe we can award the points as I described but only drivers race in both events qualify. So if someone were to finish really well in the Laguna races and didn't travel to Portland they would be out of the running. It would put some pressure on those pesky non-travelling fast front runners to do a little travelling.

My sentiments exactly.

Just some a quick question since I have never run at PIR / Rose Cup. I have heard people talk about having to use a "Portland muffler" to run at PIR. Is this "Portland muffler" required to run at the Rose Cup as well? If so where do you get one, or does it make sense to just to bring our Laguna type muffler to use as an alternative? I don't want to make the drive all the way up and find out that I was not allowed out on the track because I needed a special muffler.

The "Portland" muffler is the same one that the FE cars use...it is more of a spark arrestor than a sound control device. It won't make the Laguna sound window. Be sure to sign up for the test day (if you are going to do it) online at the Pro Drive website. It will save you a few bucks. Bob

We should double check with the locals. If you can get there mid-afternoon, they can probably get us in...
What are you going to be sleeping in Jerry (new RV? :roll:

I am planning on getting there late afternoon or early evening with the motorhome. Dave I talked to the Pro Drive office and they suggested the dirt parking lot outside the gate. Bob
