Div 2 Pts Meet @ South Ga.

Casey Miles · 12-01-2009, 09:03 AM

Here's another aspect about car counts and doing business, when the economy is in the dumps NHRA raises the entry fee to points races. I was one car count you will not get if they don't lower the entry fee or make the entry fee reasonable to the purse. To pay $160 to win $1k is totally stupid, when I can race locally for a $40 entry to win $650. I've been racing Stock since 1974 and never have I seen such greed in all that time since now. It sucks that I will have to attend at least one poinst race to get a grade point to race the Gator Nats as a vacation.
Don't misunderstand, I truely love Stock, but you have to draw lines in the sand at some time to try to get your point accross.

Kevin, the only problem with sending e-mails to Bill Holt, he will not read them, they will probably go to his spam folder!

Woodro, youre probably right. Maybe I should have put "the money i owe you" in the subject line to ensure he would atleast open it.

OR
lets see if SGMP will have a big pay out for all of the sportsman racers, 3 or 2 races insted of 2 days of sitting and 1 day of raceing.

take the $150.00 entry just like before, He dosnt have to pay NHRA there extortion money. then have our own (div.) race, all the classes, new SOUTHEAST RACERS ASSN., trophys that mean something

We all know that if the entry is fare, the pay out is fare, the racers will show up,

Its just a matter of time for this kind of raceing to start we dont need BIG BROTHER to have a good time and race with friends....

NHRA has already cut there thorats, now lets let them bleed to death

lets show up altogether at SGMP in the fall, and let MR. HOLT see we dont need him or his ORG.

I was mad as hell. At them for dropping Valdosta It is one of the 2 points races within 200 miles for me.
But when I look at the bigger picture. It doesn't hurt as much. Don't get me wrong I will do whatever I can to get it reinstated.
One of the main reasons I go to points races to get event credits to get to national events.
Well last year Indy was the only race that closed with more than one grade point (and that was only in superstock). So dropping a points meet won't hurt that much.
I'm hoping there will be more track or association run meets. They are more fun and a whole lot more bang for the buck.
