I don't mean to be rude, but what's so important about going to Nationals?
When I first started doing regionals / the odd National, I much preferred regionals because there were more people at my level that I could be competitive against and I could actually race. I mean, racing's what its all about - its no fun to be out of your depth. I mean, even now I don't enjoy 2wd Nationals so much because I'm always 3rd or 4th bottom final and I can't really do much about it. 4wd I'm battling for higher finals so its more fun, more competitive.
Its not the end of the world if you don't get your F4, or you don't get into Nationals. I don't think I did Nationals until my 4th-ish year of racing but I loved my club racing and regional racing. Don't get disheartened - I know you WANT to go to Nationals, but at the end of the day, they're not all that.
Race at regionals, club meetings and just ENJOY racing.
