Way back when I raced AHRA all you had to do was show up at the gate and pay your money. It seemed to work fine and that's the way the nhra started.

IHRA still does it this way also. It would be the smart thing to do especially in this economy but there would be a major drop in people attending the points races and opens and that would hurt the smaller tracks. The last NHRA race I raced in was the 1978 Sports Nationals at Bowling Green Kentucky and all I had to do was send in my entry. I had no grade points. By the way it was $40 to enter....lol.
