Re: Grade Point Alternative
Better idea yet is the past champions provisional entry never gets counted toward the quota. Then the champs could enter any time they wanted and not take the place of someone that has the required amount of quota. With the quota numbers being so low now unless you have 8 GP you might never get to enter a national event. I am sure there are some sitting on the side for the gators that have 8 and didn’t get in.

Re: Grade Point Alternative
OMG !! Pleeeeeze ban this I'm feeling so uncomfortable !! HAHAHA !! Bubski's thinking the logical progression here is to make racers pay for not having their butter soft combos hit !! Im sure with your resources and contacts you can make this a reality !! Nothing like free enterprise and making the weak and willing pay !! Cheers !!

Didn’t see you at any of the 9 events I went to That’s right grade 9 and can’t get in.. but it’s the game we play By the way nobody’s getting in unless there rain and people withdraw So pick an easy event to get into Denver Tulsa. Washington They never fill up. 😂

Re: Grade Point Alternative
I got enough grade points that I knew that I wouldn't get into any national events other than Indy. I'm not playing NHRA's games. I'll go to points races that I choose and not the ones that are off the beatened path.

Re: Grade Point Alternative
James as a matter of fact Sal has 8 grading points. Didn't see you at any of the 10 gp races I attended last year. Sal had a transfer from last year. He was Johnny on the spot on the computer BUT in NHRA's infinite wisdom they raised the prices from last year. By the time Sal got the cc info entered to pay the $10 difference it was full. How's THAT for a kick in the d***??
Casey nuttin for nuttin but I saw you load up and pull out of a couple LODRS races with Natty Opens on Sunday???? Would those races have given you 8?? I was very surprised to see you leave. Last edited by KennyAnderson; 01-02-2023 at 08:08 PM. |

Re: Grade Point Alternative
You know this grade point stuff, while being slightly entertaining on the computer, turned into a major point of contention. Racers getting aggravated at each other, bitching at nhra about it, and so on.Sooner or later something gonna give and a lot of racers are not going to be happy about it. My own personal opinion about it is to run class at all divisional races and not fool with the national events.
