Provisional Entries
 

I know we've talked about this before and it is the racer's choice but by God for the love of Pete is it really necessary to enter with 6 weeks to go!

Understanding it is an abnormal year with covid. Two races have been postponed but still are full. There are 7 national races so far with near full sportsman entries and only one has raced. Something like 1900 sportsman entry fees have been paid. Maybe a thanks for our support of the sport would feel better.

Like I said it's the racers choice and they earned the privilege but entering a race with 6 or 7 weeks left may deprive someone else that loves the sport also. Case in point I dropped out of Atlanta after realizing I wouldn't be able to go and someone else that I knew wanted to go was able to get in. If it's over quota that doesn't happen and there's one less person at the race that wanted to be there. With the severity of these quotas a little patience is all I'm asking for, I don't feel that's alot.

I guess I've had what I said on my mind for a while. We don't need a week in between each grade point that is for sure.

Re: Provisional Entries
 

That is for certain but I guess that gives NHRA longer to hold onto our money.

Re: Provisional Entries
 

That was my first point when you put a calculator to 1900 entries.

Re: Provisional Entries
 

I'm sitting on 3 credits from cancelled races last year and only 5 grade points. Not a good position to be in on the East Coast where everything fills up at a grade 7 lol

Re: Provisional Entries
 

What NHRA needs to do is anyone that has a provisional entry should be able to enter when ever they want. Just have it so those entries don’t count towards the quota. That would be a simple resolution.

^^^ quit making sense, Mike.

Learn something new every day. Now I understand what a provisional means. Last year was the first in about 20 yrs I had enough grade points to enter a race out west after quotas came into play. I don't have a clue how to back out of Pomona now. Computer illiterate...
