Yes, maybe they should call everybody and ask them how many people can have a cage in by Saturday! if it is less then half of the drivers. maybe they should have the 4 funs off for the week. See how many can have the safety stuff added for the following week. if it is over half, then great, but if not, then maybe they should call the season for them so the people up there in the points still finish where they are! IMO
I see what you mean and it makes sense, only problem is if I was one of those guys who worked every night this week and spent the money to put the cage in a car I likely wouldn't run next year then the numbers come back at less than half...I'd be mad for a second time! 🙂
It's like pulling off a bandaid - maybe ending the season would be the best. OR - end the POINTS season right now, and run the rest of the year for no points just purse? (Just spitballin' here...)

great idea. end the points now and run for fun the rest of the year!
On the plus side I suppose a guy that is sitting in 10th place with most of the safety equipment already can coast to a track championship just by showing up and putting it in cruise control.
I'd say you deserve the championship then..
Not all racing is done on the track. You spent the time to build a better (safer in this case) car.
Another part of winning a championship is working under presssure. You might have to replace a blown motor, or re-clip a car in a week, to stay in the race for the championship. In this case the challenge is to cage your car in 4 days. Completely doable...
Let the best driver and team win, not simply the guy who drives the fastest around the track. thats race'n
Unfortunately with the ownership at the track pullin the stuff he is i'm not going out and doing this stuff to my car just to have maybe 5 or 6 cars show up on Saturday. Then have him tell us he's not running a race with so few cars which i can see him doing since he has had it out for us from day1!!! I will save my money and pull the cage i already have in and put my time and effort into a new car to run as a 4 cyl.

That attidute is another perfect example of why someone who put the extra effort in to their car before, or makes the effort this week, deserves that championship over you...
