Last summer I did a 3 race series on my 25' track here in Austin.
I think I did 5 points to winner, 2 to runner up and 1 to each person you entered.
After one guy one two races (with different cars) it was over, no one could catch him.

I think having the points closer together works 3, 2, 1....

Jason's system in the hardcore series works well but it's alot of racing

I think having the points closer together works 3, 2, 1....

Yes, I think NHRA has 18 events, or so. They can get the bell curve going with that many events. They also do:

Performance bonus points are awarded for each qualifying session as follows:
Low e.t. of each session....... 3
Second-quickest................... 2
Third-quickest....................... 1

Maybe something like this?

I'm thinking about having to sit down one evening and iron out how I'm going to do this... It's a lot to digest.
