What's up with NHRA logic? - Page 2

What kind of warped logic is the grade point policy based upon?

At a time when the economy is down why would you limit the number of racers that will give you money to race

If you have a new grocery store are you only going to let in the ones with coupons while many more people without coupons stand outside waving cash at you?

What a stupid policy.

TreeSavoy, There you go again using Logic in your question. Kind of like the HP factors a motor gets to get 40 people to build/buy one. THEN the ahfs lets them dominate and remove the fun for the other 400 racers till many continue to drop out based on developing a bad attitude about racing...

Casey, that's why it's called a "not for profit organization". Would the the last drag racer leaving California please turn out the light.

I thought the grade point system was to ensure that racers support the divisional races and/or natioanl open series. If you don't race the divisionals you can't race the nationals.

BINGO!!!!! We have a winner. At least there is someone who knows how the system works. I did not say he actually likes the system, he just knows how the system works.

In fact all those who are accepted to a National event know how the system works and they get to play.

I like this system as long as it suits me.

I will give another perspective, I am a business owner and I have a loyal customer, Places 2 orders with my company every year,
He calls me and wants to place a rush order, at the same time, i get a call out of the blue from someone else and they want to place a rush order and says maybe this will lead to 4 orders a year. I can only do one rush order.

Who do I please 1st or 2nd Guy? My policy was to service 1st guy, I call it loyalty.

With that being said,
I certainly would try to come up with a way to service 2nd customer.
