Re: Charlotte Stock Full at Grade Point 7
 
I am personally OK with the white firebird getting into national events because of the overall package the team brings to every race. The above people have 24 combined posts and no signatures, troll somewhere else there folks.

Also, is everyone aware that all NHRA track owners get a provisional entry to national events as well? I am not sure if that is public information but it is accurate. There are all types of provisionals out there....

I LOVE Chip's response. In today's world, everyone is all about "woe is me" but we have all contributed to the issues here. Bigger rigs = less parking space, More total classes = Less entries per class, etc..etc...

Things could be worse...does everyone remember when Stock/SS was NOT at every national event? NHRA could very well go to that solution to increase quotas by eliminating certain classes at races. How would everyone like going back to that?

The economy must be doing well enough for all of these racers to be eager to enter on Wednesdays 10 weeks before the event starts.

I think its awesome these races are filling up so quick. It's great for the sport. I will see yall at the Opens getting Grade Points for next year

Atco open is the same weekend as charlotte. Yes its 300 miles further than charlotte for you, but its a grade point and Dave and D-1 run very good opens. Bring a stocker and a superstocker too and get 2 points for the trip. Points can add up fast.

Yes, a lot of guys seem to do it on test and tune day which is the thursday. Its a fun event.....kind of like a mini-indy with top stock, in the past they have had class, cic racing. I'm not sure about class this year, but certainly top stock on friday, which is fun to watch....For elims at the opens round one is bracket style just pick a lane and run who is next to you, after that its laddered. Speeds things up.

Track is close to sea level, good barometer, real good hook. If its cool hang on it will be fast.

I don't tend to eat most track food, but I have had their chili, and ice cream and I think a hamburger or two with the kids all quite good....and been to the bar with the wife.....

They sell VP at the track too. Hoosier truck is usually there also.

The divisional is the next weekend so a lot of people will be leaving their trailers.

Don`t forget, from the past several seasons all you need is a one grade to get into Denver!

I still cant under stand the quota limit thing on the biggest class that they have or could get . I can remember the 128 car bump spot at div. races . Why not 85 car field limit and unlimited enteries and the fastest get in ? It would add to the qualifying action and let the AHFS work possibly . Any how see you at the races .

Here’s a thought, you’re sitting on a waiver/transfer, must be used in a year, and you can’t get in
Entry fee........Poof?
