Did we all catch this one? NHRA national event online registration changes for 2008

Hope this does not confuse this post but -

Do not forget the "18 year old rule"

I found out officially -

Andy who has beend driving since he was 8 and been the junior champ

Won Fontana divisional this year

Just competed at the November Pomona National meet

Has competed at atleast a half a dozen other National meets (semis in Seattle)

Ended up 4th in the division

CAN NOT enter the up coming Pomona meet or Phoenix national either

He will not be 18 until March 7th

No provision for "grandfathering in" or exception or wavier (so far)

Since he is in the hunt for the Jegs AllStar points - would be nice to be able to at least run Phoenix, the week before the divisional - like the rest of his competitors

Also these are the two closest races to our home

Guess in the long run it will save money

This may only be a problem for us so - excuse the venting

I have spoken to countless people and they can not believ this (even NHRA officials)

It is part of some tabaco settlement for the PROs
