This was just an observation I made today
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

This is exactly right. I called him on this earlier and he spurted out the 10 grade points comment. He probably has 5/5 or 6/4.

9 in stock and 1 in super stock, combined 10, NHRA calls it “combined” not me, what does that matter? Other than a quick math lesson for you

I think what they are getting at is that you have the time as a business owner to go to get 10 grade points and race a few nationals last year, but now it’s NHRAs fault for keeping the entries coming in. Who cares dude? You at least got to race this year so far.

Lol. You must be hovering over this site. No quick math lesson from you. So, for this year, you'll have to keep begging your way into SS, if you want to go, like you did at the Gators. And my grade points were absolutely legal or I wouldn't have them but I have a final suggestion for you. Just buy nhra and write the rules as you see fit. That way you won't have to spend all day hovering over this site. So far you have accomplished nothing for your self absorbed efforts.

It depends how many cars he wants to race at a national. If racing one car, he has 10 grade points to use and can enter when the event opens.
