Sounds like there just needs to be some greater distinction/clarification or the tittle. I see it like this. Say it is 2015 Worlds. A guy/gal who has done well at a regional or in his club series gets an invite and attends. He/she places second overall in the Pro class to a general ticket. The winner with the general ticket gets the Worlds Championship Pro Class tittle. The guy/gal with the invite who placed second get the 2015 Series Championship tittle. They worked at it all year, and have the points for the Series win, while the 1st place general ticket winner has the win for the event only.

Both have performed well and both have their prospective wins.

Something like that JRH?

Quote of the second post here. I've changed my stance on this pending my ability to get work handled and integrate more international clubs and events. First post updated as well. We are now offering yearly champ qualifying "invites" to top 5 drivers from a club or qualifier.

I agree they should not be awarded the overall world champion title without having previous series/regional qualifier invites.

If for example i was to enter a meet, and by some bizzare miracle win..i would feel really embarrassed if i was awarded such a title.

need some help here.

do the 4 clubs from norcal need to have a shootout to send drivers to Nats/Worlds or does each club send drivers straight through.

i'm probably overthinking this but i read both in the description.

thanks

State shootouts not needed this year. If we have so many folks attending that we need shootouts again, things will be growing!

Cool!

Would holding a shootout count towards the overall championship?
