New Grade Point Deal?????????

Now that nhra has let Kurt Busch enter the Gators, Will they change the ruling on not having a grade point to get in a non full field, or revert back to the old rule.

Not sure about you Hammer, but I can't hold my breath that long.

There was a post on another site that said Kurt's car was teched at Commerce so it seems he does have a grading point!

OMG! Can we please put this to rest already!

1. No one was bumped, the class wasn't full.
2. He is running super gas, not stock or super stock. With a car that is going to be tough to be competitve.
3. He apparently got a grade point in Atlanta.

There is no real bad side to this. Someone in SG has probably got an easy ride into 2nd round AND the sportsman will probably get some well deserved attention!

My post is not about Kurt getting into the Gators
It is how they (nhra) will handle this situation in
the future. Will anybody be able to get in an event
without a grading point.

Boy, some must have a boring life to bitch about Kurt Bush running super gas, this may be the first pair anybody ever watch.

Dale you need to get a sense of humor! Hope to see you Concord in a couple of weeks.

As a young lad growing up at the track and around some great racers, I was told every time we discussed something related to NHRA never use LOGIC..... But, I will say it anyways, You would think with low car counts they would remove grade points for now..
Probably some of the best advice givin huh!!!

SC1317 · 03-11-2010, 11:57 AM

Hammer, we both know that NHRA will not change the grade points. Their reasoning "probably" that if they remove them that less people will go to divisionals. Can't have that, less money (sarcasm).

It also "appears" Busch got his grade point. That kind of takes away the basis for asking for no grade points.

I really hope I get to meet alot of the people this summer that I get to have all this fun banter with. Makes the NY winters go by a little faster! So please, if anyone is out and about in D1 this year, look me up. I'm one of those cars that no one watches! LOL

I have heared alot of reference to people seeing Kurts car at the divisional. But I have not herared one person say they seen him at the race. I would think to get a grade point he would have to be with his car.
