Jim D2 has three doubles and a single National Open this year. Yes they are eighth mile and yes they are a pretty good trip for you to make, but they are National Opens and they do get you grade points.

I stand corrected! I didn't think the 1/8 mile races were for grade points. Jim

NHRA could cure this if they wanted to by making national opens a series so that you have to participate all in your division to get the points and if you miss one you get no points. National opens are races just to keep the athusiium up in the categories between division races. If the round wins don't count for the national championship, why should their participants points count to national events?
I for one will only race the close to me division races since you get no reward for supporting the series. With 6 grade points all the national events should be open to you, instead, you get a kick in the teeth.
I commend the racers with 8 points or better, it's the NHRA making us squabble with each other over on how to get points not the racers.

Division 2 has a series for the Open Series.
Best 5 of 7. Top 5 get recognized at the Banquet. Pretty cool deal.

Chip I understand that, but here again it's 1/8 mile racing, not conducive to a 4 speed car. Also another 8k miles to go to them. Just saying.
