This was just an observation I made today

It's the way the system works. So, you are worried about transferring $300.00 from one race to another? You should take that up with nhra if this is your complaint. Let us know how it works out.

Sputtering comments don't get you very far out here. I take it you have had no issues with transfers and you're worried about nhra holding on to $300.00 of your money. And that's your only beef. Then you come back as a wise azz. Grow up.

My “beef” from the beginning was the fact that NHRA is publicly stating they are shut down, which should mean people shouldn’t have to worry about national event quotas, but typical money hungry NHRA is still taking people’s money for races that probably won’t happen, I never said anything about transfers, grade points, or anything of that matter, I’m well aware how the “system” works, but you just like to argue so I will leave it at that, go ahead and keep entering your “cobalt”, getting bogus grade points, and shelling out your money to NHRA even when they aren’t holding races, and good luck this year!

To my knowledge nhra has said nothing about closing for the year. And where did you come up with the scenario "where people shouldn't have to worry about quotas?" Is that something you dreamt? If you look at the Atlanta race entries you will notice I entered with a 69 Firebird. You should still take up your argument with nhra. I would be interested in knowing how you make out?

I get what you're saying Timmy but not sticking up for NHRA here but what if this whole thing just blows through and is gone in a couple weeks. Not likely I know but then if it did we would have a few National events coming up say like Richmond and no entries. Just a thought, hope you guys are doing well my friend.

If you can earn 10 grade points - you do not have a job like mine or an income like mine - or maybe you are retired and you saved money instead of racing your whole life.

No I just go racing, sometimes in two classes, it’s a combined 10 grade points, am I a bad guy now for that too???

OK so it was a typo - you don't really have 10 maybe you have 5 in 2 different classes - the way it would be for entry - which I thought this thread was about.


I got old and I really do not care that much about going to a National event unless it is 8 hours driving (or less) away. That means 2.

Peace


Ron
