Re: Using up grade points
As faras the schedule. I hope to make it to Sunday. When the rounds are called effect all competitors the same. The same folks bow out of this race nearly every year. I could name them. Entry fees to some are pocket change. I personally count every penny. It takes 8 grade points and there isn't 8 grade points available in division 7 unless you have 2 cars to bring.Seems fair!

Re: Using up grade points
Well when you live in Tijeras New Mexico and your closest point race is over 5 to 6 hundred miles away it really sucks! I think you should have to give at least 2 weeks to back out of a National Event where it gives Racers a chance to take off work get a motel get your car and things ready to go. Those things just don't happen overnight. especially when it's a back-to-back race when you have to drive so many miles. Racers and NHRA need to think about that.

Re: Using up grade points
Concerning the schedule causing some withdrawals, personally I?d actually prefer E1 being on the first day. Find your spot on the tree and stay in your groove. Early morning E1 just creates more anxiety to what is already the toughest run.

Re: Using up grade points
That's only true if you entered the race with a 'provisional entry' such as a gold card.
