First off, understand that some of this may cause the entry fee to go up, and it's New York Region's call, as they run the race.

OK, invite only those NARRC drivers that have run at 2 or more NARRC tracks and are currently in the top 2/3rds (maybe 1/2) in points. IIRC, it used to be this way quite some time ago. Greed (or, not losing money) caused NYR to open up the race.

That will cut down a lot of folks, so maybe the entry fee would need to be more than a bit higher.

Also invite the top three in each class in MARRS and NYSRRC (provided they were also in the top half of their class), and turn it into a Area 1,2, 10 shootout.

Also, with fewer cars, maybe we could have less than 10 race groups and actually get some track time. Maybe two or three groups for real race cars and 4 or 5 for those with fenders.
