Just in case anyone was wondering, after reading the VW contigency claim form...

NO the $1000 payout for division champs does not include IT cars winning 'regional divisional' championships.

Cen-Div has run a championsip for regional racers for years, and we were able to win it this year. However, per the GCR only national competitors can win a divisional championship within SCCA rules, thus Topeka didn't think to specify that on the claim forms (which do include regional and national classes on the payout schedule).

A bit of a bummer, but at least I won $600 over the course of the year.
