Why not enter the tow vehicle in super street at each division race, just like buying 4 grade point.
I would doubt that your tow vehicle has a diaper or oil retention device......

Or an SFI balancer, trans blanket or roll bar.

I thought the new rule from a couple years ago stated that in order to earn your GP you needed to at least break the beams in qualifying. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Angry Re: National Championship and Grade Points.

Getting harder this year in D6 to get points with the elimination of 3 of our closer national opens (Bremerton, Spokane and Mission) and only having national opens in Calgary and Edmondton. Another no-thanks for moving a divisional to Acton......

It's an old rule and hasn't been used in 20 years.

Good morning all.
I guess I did not realize the traveling the Midwest and west coast had to endure just to attend a divisional event.
Here on the East coast, most racers can drive 3 to 4 hours, or up to 6 to 8 hours and attend 5 to 6 races a year.
As I said before, I do not know what the answer is.
I guess we will all find out in time.
The new norm is what it is!

The answer is: you knuckleheads get together, grow a backbone and get busy contacting nhra first. Then consider other measures if you are stonewalled.

Never happen. Too many personal agendas and egos.

Now I think that I'll go wash out my head because I am finding myself agreeing with Bruce entirely too much lately.

Geez, Tongue in Cheek,
but a rent-a-racer for grade points is an idea.
