So lets look at two sets of numbers from last year...

Bayside Interclub 2009...
540 - 12
Stock - 22
SS - 14
Mod - 7

Gas - 19
Pro - 22

Brendale Interclub 2009...
540 - 14
Stock - 21
SS - 9
Mod - 9

Gas - 28
Pro - 31


So like 55 electric vs 41 nitro guys at Bayside, and 53 electric vs 59 nitro at Brendale, take into account the bonus A main points, and it's looking like a 'fair' points spread across classes to me, if not maybe the electric guys still holding some points advantage with the bonus points.

The new points system does seem to encourage clubs to bring as many members as possible (I thought that was the point?), but then at the same time with the points spread more fairly, it should require less cross class running 'just' to get points, anyone should be able to run their chosen class, and bring home valuable points for their club, regardless of what class that is.

Home track advantage will still play a part, as will what is popular at that club running that event, I see room for any club to do well with the new points system, what I still can't see is what may be unfair about any of it, if someone wants to further punch those numbers from 2009, and show where any club is now put at a large disadvantage, I'm keen to see it.

Some guys will always run both types of class, and for that matter multiple in each, but many of us just don't have or want more than one car, any point system that requires less people to have less cars is possibly a very good thing.
