Grade points at Div...

What Nat'l event are you trying to get into ? Most will let you in with a 1 count, so you shouldnt have a problem with anything other than Indy.

It probably depends on the division director, but you should be able to get a grade point without a car. I heard it was done here this weekend. Two people drove to the track in a street car. One person entered stock and super stock and the other person entered stock then they left.

Is that right ? Did they go through tech ?

Some people seem to do that every yr., for various reasons. Car still under construction, or waiting for parts, etc.

I found out the hard way in 2008 that if you enter your car as owner and have someone else drive that only the driver gets the grade point.That sucked.

Can we get more verification on this? Plus how many classes can you enter at a divisional?

You can use S/ST grade points for any other class but can not use any other class to get into S/ST only S/ST grade points to get into it. I entered the Winternational, Phoenix and Vegas a few years ago with only S/ST grade points for Stock it was myfirst year in a stocker.

Once you pass tech you get the grade point. You do not have to make a pass, pass fuel check or the scales.
When you turn in your tech card to the trailer you have got the grade point.
The nonsense about fuel check etc. Can't hold water. How about if you have your car all tuned and ready to go you go to make your 1st run, and you destroy it in the water. Of course you never get to the scales or fuel check.
Are they going to deny you the grade point?
Pass tech, hand in your tech card and you will earn your grade point.
But here in Div 2 they actually look at your car during tech, you can't just bring a tech card up and get it signed, like some other places.

By saying ET,I take it you mean an ET class? Typically the ET cass doesn`t earn a grade point,only the NHRA classes.
