Does National Opens count towards your grade points to enter into a National Event ????

Thx

Yes they do.

It's one of the only reasons National Opens exist! LOL!

The Dutch Classic is considered to be a Open race isn't it ?????

Yes Pete the Dutch is an open. Does anyone know if standard LODRS contingency goes for opens too?

David Ley · 12-12-2010, 10:53 AM

Yes Pete , The "Dutch" is an Open and you get a grade point for each Open you attend .

No each open has its own contingency payout, diffrent than the LODRS.

Jeremy where do you find the Open contingency payouts? Are they in the dragster preceding the event or online somewhere?

Only way you know for sure is to go into your NHRA Resistration "competitor info" screen where it shows how many grade points you have both within the class and combined if applicable. If their count doesn't sync with yours you just complete the "contact NHRA" form to get it fixed. Anybody can make an error so double check ahead of when you plan to actually enter.

You guys in D1 are fortunate to have opens to choose from and that any contingency payouts are available.
