When licensing time rolls around, compile a list of your races and finishing positions for the last few years. Submit those to your Divisional Licensing Administrator, along with your written request (and all the other paperwork) for a regional license renewal. Explain the circumstances as to why you didn't make the required 2 races. Unless there's a problem, most DLA's will grant one request. If you have to do it for a 2nd year, plan on doing a school. If you can submit a letter from a "character witness" - somebody who is well known and who has raced with you - even better.
