NHRA gold card question??

[Lyn Smith]

I finished # 8 in NHRA stock in 1988. All i got was a form letter from them saying I could change my number to #8 for the 1989 season.the next year they started to give out silver cards .It actually cost me money to finish #8 because the next year I had to change my numbers back !!!!!

I`ve held an NHRA Gold Card on two different occasions,in `96 for the Division 5 Stock Champonship and in 2003 for the Summit ET Division 5/National Championship,and with both cards every entry was paid the next season. That included every bracket race and NHRA event,but I did have to pay the required insurance for Nat`l Events. As far as the grade point issue,I already had grade points,so I can`t respond to that topic. Some tracks can honor Gold Cards in different ways,and can decline them in certain events like jackpot races. Lane
