A few short years ago many guys were b!tching about how hard it was to get gp’s in d2. Now there’s more gp opportunities than any other division in the country and you wonder why a race fills so quick. This is capitalism working at its finest to fix a problem that NHRA created.

Quotas are half of what they should be, especially for a 4 day national event. That deserves a whole other thread and NHRA should do more to meet customer demands/expectations for the sportsman racer.

Drew,
I think you confused D2 with the D1 schedule as you can get a total of 12 GP's in D2 but you can get a total of 18 GP's in D1 with the divisional and national opens. Have not seen the schedule yet do D2 national opens. If you look at the list of people entered for the Gators majority of them are from D1.

Charlie if you only charged past Champs that no longer race a 15% commission it would be a nice supplement to their income.
