Grade Point ?
 

Can you preregister for a divisional event?

If I'm pre-registered and payed in full, but can't make it to the divisional event for one reason or another, will I still receive my grade point?


Thanks

You should have to be tecked in, but I think different divs have different rules.

Mannynen,
I have never heard of preregistering for a Divisional race in ANY division.
In order to geta grade point you must at least tech a car in at the race. Thbis rule was implimented in order to prevent racers from "buying" a grade point.

The alcohol dragsters and funny cars can preregister to get free admission. And be used in advertising for the race....But I believe others enter when they get there and must make a qualifying pass too get any points.You gotta be on the qualifying list.

You only need to tech in. A driver receives 10 points and one grade.

You're right....from page 250 of the 2007 NHRA rule book.
"All remaining event non-qualifiers or "no-shows" in eliminations will automatically recieve 10 points.A minimum of 10 points will be awarded to all contestants upon completion of event tech inspection and registration."
So you don't have to make a run ! Tech in a rental car,get the points and go home ! :-)

Approved helmet required to pass tech . Also a driveshaft safety loop is required on all RWD cars.
