I personally don't see the need to push people out of 17.5. Unless they win a National Championship. So as of right now and this is my personal opinion take it with a large grain of salt. Dave Johnson won 17.5TC On-Road Nats--for the Nats I don't think he should be able to run for the championship. At the same time I don't feel he should be kicked out of 12th scale (unless he's won). I finished 8th overall I don't have a full ride on any team. I have zero % chassis sponsor. Why should I leave 17.5 yet?
