I think that the Sportsman winner will not be allowed to go to Pomona to race in the national event it appears that he will be 21 days short of the age of 18. Now I have no dog in this hunt, BUT, I [personal opinion] think that sucks. You would also think that in that case the runner up in the "race of champions" would then take his place.....Wrong again my friends, the winner of Sundays bracket race will be elevated to that lofty position. I also wish you guys could have been there!! perhaps then Mission could have at least tried to field a legitimate S/Pro team for the Race of Champions. I firmly believe that the rules are made for everyone, and the rules requiring a racer to have attended 50% of the tracks events are to reward those racers that support the track, and the SUMMIT RACING SERIES. not to mention that there is at least a three race minimum, just to be able to go to Boise on the team{ but not the race of champions] just my two cents!!!!!!!!!

That would suck if Dallas can't race but you would think they would let him race considering it is a Sportsman bracket car and not a fast et/mph car. I hope they reconsider that ruling!
I edited this out because I asummed things and I apologize.
Thanks Bill for stating these facts you have mentioned.
As for Stefan looking into the actual rules before he went I commend him for spending the time in doing it.
This rule thing for the et finals has gotten out of hand over the years and many didn't look into it like Stef did.
He is a GOOD bracket racer and wants to race, I don't blame him for being there, it's nhra and the rules they lay out which many, I am sure, had no clue about.
As for Sib...he told me about the controversy surrounding this...but not everything. The way I interpeted it was if they let one they'll have to let them all race. Sib didn't want to race the roc because he didn't have the 50% of races but because of that rule you stated Bill, re div. races, N.O. races etc he was told by the d6d he could race. He went there to race in the team race, as we know he hasn't missed one et finals ever, so he was shocked by it all to!!
Bill you know I'd have a good argument with you anytime, but this time I won't argue with you, lol.
