What does a serious points challenger from Divisions 1, 4, or 6 do when they do not have 3 in-division national events and the 'home division' racers are given priority at all other events? There are no California racers currently entered in the Gators but I do appreciate a good strawman. In reply to Daryl - unfortunately it would pretty much require a 'burn year' to acquire grade points before someone could seriously battle for a championship in most classes.

Just out of curiosity, where and when can "car owner" grade points be used for entries?

Well Tony, I paid my membership fees, got my competition number and pay money to race at D2 tracks. I have a car that fits into an NHRA class. If. I choose to run for a national title, a divisional title or a double digit is of my choosing.
I raced at the Gators in '88 when there was a whole bunch of Fl (local) racers competing. Before any of the super categories existed. It has turned into a circus. And you are part of it. Get off your high horse, I'll race where I want and don't need your approval. I'll complain if I want to, and I'll deal with NHRA's nonsense the way I see fit. 50 cars in Stock for a four day event.

Owner credits may be awarded in cases involving a driver change. The owner must have grade points from the previous year for the category entering. Owner grade points cannot be a combination of multiple vehicles or combined with driver grade points. NHRA approval required.

NHRA might take doing this as unsportsmanlike conduct

What happens when someone at NHRA sees this and decide that when the person that entered backs out no one can / will fill that spot?

I was thinking the same thing BUT, I would be more inclined to think that NHRA would probably be more likely to "steal" Charlie-Bob's idea though.
