It entertaining that no one remembers when it was NHRA's complete discretion to mail you back a packet of colored entry sheets of what events that you were qualified to enter based on the subjective judgement of someone in administrative offices. You submitted a request list and they decided which entry sheets you received. I get there was no social media but I don't remember all the complaining in the eighties when I got started about this process and it was not based on one objective thing.

Sure seems a lot easier to get a certain amount of grade points and know for sure where you stand. When I asked to get into a couple of races I remember being clearly told National events were a earned privilege to enter.
