National Event entry
 
I was just curious as to how someone can enter an event that's not open yet. I'm not trying to start anything, just curious that's all.

Usually the best way to find out about something like that would be to contact nhra.

You're so right Bruce but I wasn't that curious! Thought someone could enlighten me a little on here.

If you have a Pro license I believe you can enter at anytime, I have often thought about going to a driving school and getting one. A Pro category license does not have a grade point therefore the entry list is always open for them, this is where the flaw lies.

Thanks for the replies, might not be a bad idea Herbie to go get us a pro license probably would be a little bit fun too!

Ask Randi Lyn Shipp.

I would ask her but I don't know her, she does seem to have the inside track on this though.

The Pro license would only work for entering Pro categories, not sportsman categories with quotas.

I looked up the rule today and it stated if you were in the Top 20 of a pro category or finished in the top 20 the previous year You were garunteed an entry in the sportsman categories.

Once again, Pros can walk on sportsmen in NHRA. Not surprised.

Is Ms. Shipp a Pro driver or top 20 driver?

I know she I'd an incredible driver and has won many races...

I noticed she was entered in every race at the start of the season... Not talking bad, sincerely asking.

I didn't intend this thread as a shot towards her, she's not the only one entered in events that are not open yet. I just didn't understand how it was possible. It really doesn't matter in her case she has enough grade points I think to enter the White House if she wanted!

Tony Janes, does Bo, Jason or Greg Anderson own their race cars? Or are they just drivers? Tom

Tony Janes 05-24-2016 07:23 PM

Re: National Event entry
 
I should have said Pro Stock driver. Ken Black owns the Pro Stock cars and Bo is the owner of the Firebird.
