Grade point question.
 
Is there somewhere I can go see what it took (grade point wise) to get into specific races last year?

To my knowledge there’s no way to find that out other than racers stating it here based on their own experience But believe the races in Pomona, Vegas, Charlotte, Norwalk, Chicago, Sonoma, Reading, and Gainesville are the ones you typically need 4 or more GP’s for. Others fill early also but withdrawals are common. Others can possibly offer more but I’m sitting at 3 GP and doubt I could get in any of those I’ve named.

Todd there's nothing like that I'm aware of but if there was one that you're curious about I'm sure someone up here could remember.

Bet you’re going to need a minimum of 5, unless if you’re in the points top ten, in which case you can get in....that’s spelled out in the entry policy.

Todd,
Most of the more popular races seem to take 5 to 7. Less than that you probably need to try and hook up with someone withdrawing. Good Luck.

I agree with Jim, because the dates "roll-over" the closer you get to final cut-off. Just for the sake of argument, IIRC, if the quota is filled at Grade 5 and three weeks later someone drops out, it would take a Grade 2 (or more) to fill it. So it might be kind of hard to do what you asked for.



Bottom line is to go to as many Divisionals/Opens as you possibly can. That's your best chance.

I had 6 grade points last year and could not get in to the Gators this year closed at 7 as soon as it opened. NHRA keeps cutting the quota each year. I am not sure where that will stop. If you want to race the National events you need 8 grade points to be sure that you can play. Or go to the events that don't fill because the facilities or the track treats the sportsman racers like dirt.
