You will have to qualify in each class. Because participation at the Worlds by US drivers has dropped. The issue of needing to actually qualify for two separate classes hasn't been addressed.

My feeling is that qualifying for both classes is based on results at the ROAR Asphalt Nats. This is how it has always been and like mentioned before, it has never really mattered to to low participation by US drivers at the Worlds.

Lastly, I am fairly confident the US will get skipped over and the race move to the next bloc in lone (FEMCA). There are none or very few facilities in the US that can host a race of this magnitude. And many of the people capable of running an event like this won't do it for free.
Rick, thanks for responding.

I was also under the assumption that qualification came only from paved nationals...but will it be different this year based on the increased number of competitors that hope to qualify for worlds at both nationals?
