Back from Choctaw, MS (don't ask) and late to this one but I think it's a net-net deal. There are going to be downsides and upsides and whether you think it's a good or bad deal will just depend on your priorities. I for one would tend to think that it would be a good move for the Club, thinking strategically, but it would have to be part of a complete rethink of the Regional/National relationship.

One wildcard idea: Rallying used to apply a "coefficient" system, that applied points multipliers to events, based on their length. It might be cool to do a similar thing, giving each division a couple of SuperPoint events to use as showcases - like double coupons at the grocery checkout. Little events like the restricted regional that's going to happen with the driver school at Rockingham could be a Coefficient 1, etc.
