Grade points

[HR9121]

This past weekend's event at Rockingham was a double the LODRS race and the NO race. I was astonished at the amount of cars that left after the Lucas race, probably nearly half. I know the NO race is 1/8 mile blah blah and so on but with all the bitching about fuel prices and grade points why would you not run that race? I don't care for half tracking either but if I'm there I'm a racing.

I would be running this season if i had pistons, i would like to get points for indy next year (bucket list) i would not run first round and jeopardize someone else's race

Is it possible they paid,claimed they "broke" and left?
Could they have done this and still got the grade point since they were on the property?

It is possible but I know there are some that left that have been quoted as refusing to do the " hillbilly half tracking" thing.
