hey regarding the upgrades, have some info that if you're planning on going to nats upgrading could be useful. more to come in the next week.<br />
<br />
cinci - doesn't hurt to try to podium if you count that as top 3. sandbagging sucks but racing for the win is totally different than racing for xx place for most folks. now if you got 13 second places, I'd say that's a different story (and unlucky).

I'm interested in how the 4->3 on experience is interpreted. Are people reading it as 5 starts = must upgrade or 5 starts = can upgrade? I got my 5 starts last year, but only one top 5 finish, so I've got 4 points towards upgrading.<br />
<br />
The big question I'm asking myself now is do I start this season as a 4 and try to upgrade on points in the first race or two, or just take the experience upgrade and race as a 3 all season. The "I want podium finishes" part of me says 4 but well, avoiding…

Sandbaggers, you have been informed. :)
