I heard this as well, not real sure how or why since not everyone may attend the division race but as we know they can do whatever they want. As far as quota I would expect it to fill very early because of the anniversary. Would think it will take atleast 5 grade points and if you have 5 be sitting at the computer on Wednesday morning.

After the parking issue last year making most of the stock and super stock cars park way back on the road course a bunch of the racers said they would not be returning. if so the amount of grade points may be less that years past. I don't think the 50th anniversary will make much difference to most racers. I didn't think about the issue that some of the racers that go to the gators don't always attend the points race before. Good point James.

So....NHRA expects me to attend a points meet the week before the GATORS so I can run class Elims for the GATORS ?? Yeah, I will get right on that....That is some brilliant thinking right there....Don’t underestimate the popularity of the 50 th Gators..
There were many racers up here scrambling for that 6th grade point...

I hope they run class at the Div. SO ya don't have to put up with all the B.S., I think ya will need a 7 to get in, heard the might run S/SST there as well, so there is 40 or 50 spots off the Quote. hope they pay for class there like normal. and ya can park in the same Zip Code IF you don't stay for National,s.

Hey Brian, do you know how can I get some information about them running Super Street at the national event at the Gators?
