So now it comes down to two considerations:
Whether it should be about how many trips or how many miles you rack up in 2010.
I can see both points to this one. What is stopping one dude who lives in North Carolina who comes down for one race and takes the money? But...what about the guy who drives 50 miles round trip to compete 5 times? What about the dude who lives down the street from Dorchester and competed 12 times racking up only 60 miles of risk and endangerment through the season?
So please post whether it should be about MILEAGE or TRIPS to the race?
AND
And because some on the list run 8-9 seconds...unless you are some full blown import...you're not running a really high-stressed car that would be at great risk of failure. So I, personally, feel that 8-9 seconds are out of there right off the bat.
Should it be 7.99, 7.49, or 6.99 and faster?

I think this should apply to local people in the area. Not out of state people in NC.
I would say drop the trips all together and use mileage and the number of passes as the determining factors. Maybe work out a points system. For example every 25 miles is worth a point and every pass is worth 2 points.
7.49 or faster gets my vote, even though that puts me out of the running. Hope to be there in '10 though. It doesn't take much for an lsx vehicle to get into the 7's reliably. I run high 7's in my TBSS and not only do I drive to and from the track I DD it to work during the week (40 mi round trip) and frequently to western NC to visit family.
This is a great idea though.
