Divisionals/regionals
 

New to NHRA Stock class. Do you have to preenter for a divisional/regional or do you just show up? If it is just show up what day is optimum to arrive?
Thanks

Just show up............and bring money

Re: Divisionals/regionals
 

Well, the arrival date kinda depends on if you are not working, are retired, work for yourself, work for a boss, or just like to arrive early to stake out a nice pit spot and /or Bar B Q with your buds....I have seen racers arrive two days early for a points meet and I have seen Bill Howell arrive 2 hours before tech closes....Maybe somewhere in between ? LOL......

I will try to get there Thurs about noon. There is usually a test session that afternoon. You can at least get parked, and be ready for tech & first round Fri morning. Great tech guys & officials.

All division 2 divisional races are 2 day only events. Friday and Saturday. Most will be there on Thursday to get a good spot and get through tech. It's going to be a cluster XXXX on Friday morning to get parked, Teched and ready for Q 1 on Friday morning. A few of our tracks keep the gate open all night to get in and get parked. That's a help. I have to work on thursdays so I am in that group.

Div 4 went to some 2 day races last year. I hated it. Of course, I'm retired. Taking Monday to drive home is no problem for me. I can see it helping many. The NHRA guys got Sunday off too. Likely the biggest reason. :-)

Re: Divisionals/regionals
 

Since we're on the topic of arrival times, I was still employed when I went to the fall Las Vegas divisional. I arrived Thursday afternoon and after I got teched in I learned I had missed most of qualifying. There was just one shot Friday as I recall. But looking at the schedule (the very, very limited information I could fine online) for the spring race this year Thursday is test & tune and Friday is qualifying. But is this the same deal where I'd need to be there early on Thursday to get more than one run before eliminations?

I'm confused about whether the T&T is just something extra for those who arrive early or if it's important to be there for it if I want more than one run before eliminations.

Here in Div 2 the test and tune is put on by the host track and has nothing to do NHRA or with qualifying.
