As long as a "crew chief" has your comp license, signed tech card, and a car, you can get through tech...hence a grade point.

Right or wrong, that's the way it is.

Isn't the driver REQUIRED to sign the entry ? So he'd need to be present ??

Thats what I thought don't they ask for you drivers license? I could really care less if Kurt races I was just curios how you could get a grade point with out being there. If that is the case you will have people pulling all kind of stunts to get grade points with out going to a divisional race.

I don't want to start a fuss but with all the car counts low at all the races why not do away with grade points and allow open fields or fill the field with grade point owners and if there are any open slots fill them with first come/first serve non-grade point racers?

Just wondering

Because it's too logical

I've been saying the same thing since the car counts started dropping with the economy.....after the one grade point cut-off open it up to zero and keep it open through tech-in....JM.02

Makes perfect sense to me.

Obviously NHRA is trying to support the tracks that agree to run Divisonal races.
Surely Divisional car counts are dropping because it takes less grade points for Nationals.
No grade points required by IHRA.
