When I first started doing this, they took a 64 car field that was qualified. 75 or 80 stockers sometimes showed up to Winternationals.I'm afraid that could turn Pomona into a little Indy if we went back to something like that.

Get ready for next year. Rumor has it. 55 car fields in stock and SS. Better start going to more divisionals

Question ,if you go to a div race pay your $$ fill out a tech card go threw tech, sign your tech card along with the tech guy then brake on you way to staging. does this mean you would get a grade point, or do you have to stage, weight and fuel check, this would be in stock super stock. Now if you where in the super class do you have race first round to get you grade point. My point is that back in the day at the nat opens you could pay fill out a tech card using somebody else car and be on your merry way with a grade point in hand. Tom

Tom ;The below comment is on NHRA web site .


"Drivers receive one (1) grade point for participating in a Divisional NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series event or National Open event (must pass technical inspection). "

Lot of precedent for folks renting a minivan that's in the guide, passing tech to get their grade point. Avis rent-a-racer....cheaper getting to the track too.

Mini van would work for stock, but don't you have to have the grade point in the the class you what to run in. Say super stock would have meet those safety requirements? Also how did some of the pro racers get to run some nat events without a grade point? Can someone else get your car teched in for you if they have your membership and number card if you are going to show up late? Tom

Your money, your choice, hope you enjoy.

If car counts are going to be lowered, maybe NHRA should qualify 32 car fields, but allow 55 entries. Bring back performance to a performance based category!
