There have been many arguments put forth concerning drop or not to drop. I did a little look back to see what would have happened if we had a drop last year.

Of the 51 top 5 positions, a drop would have changed 7 spots.

In Pro 125, Jeff Welch would have been 2nd and Kyle Ray would have been 3rd.

In TaG Junior, we would have had a new champion, Corey Seip would be the winner and Marc Elliot would be 2nd.

In Junior 1, Aaron Thompson would have moved up from 5th to 4th and Cole MacEwen would have moved down to 5th.

The biggest changes would have been in Kid Karts. Alec Thompson would have moved from 3rd to 1st. Casey Flemming from 1st to 2nd, Kalee Flemming from 2nd to 4th and Conner New from 4th to 3rd.

In all other classes and postions, there would be no change with the addition of drops.

All of these changes except one are the result of missed races. Only in TaG junior race did both drivers attend all the races. All other changes were the result of missed races. In other words, racers who did not support the entire series moved ahead of racers who did if we had allowed drops. In all missed race cases, a racer who did not do the entire series moved ahead of a racer who did all the events.

My conclusion, the addition of drops mostly benifits those racers who do not support the entire series, not the racer who has a bad day.
