OK, I'm gonna chime in .............
As far as dropping a race ............Drop worst finish should not equal a race not entered. A race not entered is a race not entered. To me it is unfair that a team puts out the money to travel to every race and then will have to drop the points, as where another team can sit home save the travel $$$ and drop 0 points. To me this can effect the turn out of boats in a less popular site or a further distance race for a team. Fine to drop worst finish, but should not be allowed to drop a race not attended.
I am mixed on a boat that breaks and does not finish as to a boat that finishes and breaks. This season we have seen boats that have broke and still got 1st place. This to me might need to be looked into.
Also another thing that might need t be looked into, is if a race is cancelled due to an "Act of God". To the best of my knowledge, I believe there has now been 3 races cancelled over the past 4 yrs due to inclement weather/conditions (Point Pleasant, Algonac & Atlantic City). I don't know what the answer is, but might need to be further discussed.
Go ahead beat me up for saying what I'm saying as I'm not a racer, but I am only looking in from the outside. I listen to a lot of different people and can only ask & pose the same questions they ask me.
