New Grade Point System

[GUMP]

Racers being racers, you will see a lot of grade 9+ entries. The NHRA would have no way to plan for parking if they wait to enter.

One good change suggestion that someone brought up recently was to exclude the World Champions, etc. from the quota.

Bobby, as always, another idea with merit. My question would be if we
assume the current entrants at Gainesville have 9 or more grade points,
that would be 35 entries. I believe that Gainesville would fill at least 50
entries besides 1/2 of the ones already entered. That would give us 85
entries for lows. I love it, but will NHRA? They then need parking for
4 classes x 15 extra entries, which there is room for in Gainesville,
albeit on the round track (bring lots of fuel). If anything of your efforts
get us 10, 15, or 20 more entries, we will have to promote you to
running for Governor Of New Jersey. I was going suggest President
Of The USA, but then I remembered that Ford thing, which I think
automatically disqualifies a person from the Oval Office.

the NHRA ain't going to change a damn thing about sportsman racing, not the grading system, not the quotas, not the payouts but they will increase the entry fees.

Even though you’re probably right with your comments But
It doesn’t hurt anything to try and ask nhra about any suggestions
to better the sport as a whole.

Bobby has some great ideas and maybe it might help if the negative comments
are not posted on here.

I am right and Bobby as well anyone else can post their opinion here as I have as well they can suggest whatever they want the NHRA to change BUT history as shown NOTHING will change that benefits the racer...grade point system, entry quotas nor payouts.

[Cotten]

I like your ideas Bobby, but I think it would be hard to get NHRA to accept for the exact reasons Daren stated.

I think the proposal NHRA might accept would be open up entries a week earlier ( not 3 hrs. Lol) for grade 9.

I think that opening Grade 9s a week earlier than grade 8s has some merit. I want to thank Bobby for continually trying to promote our sport and coming up with ideas to improve it. Mike McMahan 2543 G/SA

Monday deadline has not changed so they will have the same amount of time as always. I do not see any difference. I will elaborate on the issue and address all your comments on Tuesday night so be sure to tune in!

Ken, I'm chill, just expressing my opinion, my view like everyone else, I just speak the truth and the facts. Oh and I don't drink coffee but I do drink Tea, Hot Lipton 3 large cups a day.

I think the big problem is, the Pit areas were not designed for everyone to drag in a 2 bedroom house with a 3 car garage.
