Gators S/SS Entries - Page 2

I wrote an email to NHRA that the racers in the division should get preference over racers from other division's when the national event is in that racers division.
It's too easy to get points in D1 when you have national opens as well as points races.
I personally have to travel 200 Miles to my closest points race and it goes up in 100 mile increments to make each other race. Also, no national opens to get points at either.
I think that the entry should work with that division grade points 7 to 1 then welcome other division grade points 7 to 1. If you raced a points race in the division of the national event and it's not your home division, you get to enter as if you belong to the national event division.

S/S Closed @ 65, Stock Closed @ 70, and we have a bump spot in Factory
Showdown. I think we will have close to 30 in the Showdown Class.

Casey how is that going to work when I live in D 3, and race in D 2 for points?

Larry, if you're a D3 racer and have raced a D2 points race, you enter as if you're a D2.

What you are saying is that they should shut out the racers who attend races, accumulate grade points, and are willing to travel to an event in favor of racers who only stick close to home and happen to live near the event?

No, that's not what I'm saying, the local division racers should get first preference, then out of division racers get to enter. All on grade points system of your division.

Why should a racer who never entered an out of division race get preference over an in division racer?

I agree with Casey on this. Maybe the first week or day the event opens the home division racers can enter. It just doesn't make sense for a racer from 2 k mikes away take the place of a home division racer. I had my 5 grade pioints so I got in but know a few that would like to have entered but only had 4 grade points.

Too easy for people to run a divisional and a national back to back, I expected this to fill quick.

NHRA does what they want to do and they don't care if you like it or not. I went to OHIO VALLEY last year on FRI paid my money went thru tech and they took my tech card. Then late fri night NHRA loaded up and took off and said that the race never happen no grade point. They said they couldn't agree on a rain date so they said the race never happen no grade point. I wanted to go to the Gator's but only had 4 grade points to use. If they hadn't cheated me out of that grade point I would be entered now. We would have went to more races last year but couldn't. I tried to email several people but no one would return an answer. So we race in their world and they call the shots if you like it or not they really don't care.
