just saying.....
I agree. It makes the most sense to at least use the mod class at the Carpet Nats for 1/12 Worlds qualifying. But in that case the 2014 Carpet Nats might be the better qualifying event if it is not held too late for the sign up process.
ROAR just needs to figure this all out. It has been so long since a qualifying priority list was required that they could get surprised by the number of interested racers. The qualified drivers will not be an issue. But you can't accept alternates based on when they send their entry in. It must be based on results.

I don't know what the actual requirements are but it is a matter of working within the structure of IFMAR and following the guidelines set forth by them.
Aide from IFMAR, a strong club is important in that it takes a huge number of volunteers to run a race of this magnitude.
