Come on man, if you’re a ROAR member and you don't make your regional you should still be entitled to attend the ROAR National, especially if you’re a member. I see your point in regards to a World Championship, but look at recent ROAR Nats attendance stats....

In regards to people "barely getting around the track", that is why you have lower mains. Also it’s about having fun, as well as racers from across the country to meet factory drivers, etc. Why would you want to turn the masses away???
