Re: Grade Point Alternative
I hate to give them ideas,but if this race and a few others are in that much demand, maybe they should raise the entry fee to $2,000.
Then,if you win,you are only out $500. |

Re: Grade Point Alternative

Re: Grade Point Alternative
We recall the availability of a certain document that could be considered highly beneficial and having an impact on vehicle veracity/compliance.
They were eligible for use at certain, select events. Will these cards be available for purchase once again? Would the $2,000 entry fee then reduce the requirement that mandates a given number of points in order to compete? Last edited by Paradigm Shift; 12-29-2022 at 09:10 PM. |

Re: Grade Point Alternative
Hoping anyone at NHRA will read this and care is foolish thinking. I know I'm just a 50 year member with no winning resume. I wrote a letter last year about this subject. Pretty sure they made a paper airplane out of it. Didn't even get a "Got your concerns" in reply. Good Luck on the new instant parking catering.

Re: Grade Point Alternative
Hey Charley… I hope NHRA reads this and strips you of all your grade points and bans you from entering a national. You’re essentially spitting in the face of the people that drive up and down the road chasing what the sport was all about. Yea these things get done behind closed doors , friends helping friends, but this stupid idea fake or not makes us classracers look like the elitist arrogant racers most think we are .

Re: Grade Point Alternative
Bpozzi you must be a liberal
Let me see if I get this correct Its ok if your saving spots for racers that are your friends. But if I save the same spot for someone that is paying that’s not ok. You do realize both have the same results

Re: Grade Point Alternative
Hahahaha a liberal? Of course politics gets brought in to the conversation. Nope never have or will save a spot for someone on a national level, at some point everyone feels so entitled that they deserve to race a national instead of putting in the work for it. Going to a National event isn’t a “right”, you have to earn the privilege to be present at those races. But in typical form, guys with the most money can get it done right lmao. It’s pretty irritating when guys used to just have a buddy fill out a tech card and sit at home and get the grade points. Glad NHRA put a stop to that.

Re: Grade Point Alternative
I would hardly call driving to 8 points meets or national opens and paying $180-$200 entry at the gate and passing tech putting in the work in order to run national events. But what do I know I have only been doing this for 20 years or so.

Charlie Bob, you're gonna need a good Business Lawyer for when NHRA "attacks" your business plan!

Re: Grade Point Alternative
I am pretty sure Charlie and Bubsky are one in the same.
