Actually Eric, there is no incentive for ANY competition in this country. Pat Richard won two overall national championships, and what does have to show for it other than a trophy and a hefty credit card bill? I'm all for supporting a meaningful 2wd national championship, but at this point we need to get the overall national championship off the ground.
Why not make the overall national championship a 2wd event? Because one thing even the most clueless fan understands is that the fastest guy wins. There will always be 4wd turbo competitors that will capable of outrunning the top 2wd drivers (guys like Burke, Lawless, etc..), hence you have to confusion of people saying, "That guy never finished higher than tenth all season, but he is the champion?" Sorry, but it just ain't gonna fly.
Get the overall sport healthy and self supporting, and then we can promote the 2wd end, and it will be wicked cool! (Think super 1600 cars and old F2000 cars, YUM!)
