That way they could run as many cars that want to run 128 or more in each class because it being the first race of the year there's a lot of interest in seeing what you have been working on all winter is going to work. I know NHRA has rented Orlando in past due to heavy rains they had at Gainesville it was a lake. They ran a few rounds and the cars that were still in went up to Gainesville to finish the race. I know the NHRA crew would have to drive down there to put on the race. That might cut into there profit margin. Just a thought. Kenney Kelley

I can see this being a #1 priority for the NHRA staff at the next meeting..............

I work for the man. Never get to a race early enough to be teched before the morning the event begins, and I run the first and third classes out here in D5. Sleep up in the riser of the 5th wheel trailer next to all the spare parts. If the track doesn't have a shower, neither do I.

The system is what it is. National events are not a priority for me. It probably sounds crazy, but I prefer divisionals. You're wasting your time and energy if you think anyone cares why you couldn't get into an event. If it's really important to you, then you make it happen. If you want to say it is important but aren't fully behind it, then you can come on here and complain about why you didn't get in.

I live in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota. I may have it just slightly better than you did out west as far as travel to run divisionals and nationals.

Building a car for class racing and complaining about all the travel is like building a house near the airport or racetrack and complaining about the noise.

Well we have our first former or current world champ enter the Gators, none other than L. Scott Libersher in FS/B '18 COPO #3662. Scott was the 71st entry in Stock. "I see now" said the blind man, a Silver card for Mr. Libersher top ten finish in Factory Showdown.

Can you use owner points for someone who does not have a grade five? If a racer uses owner points how many times can the owner do this?
