This is GREAT!!!!!!!!!! now everyone is getting into it. That's what makes it exciting to keep up with right now. And they think just the pros have a shoot out going.

Leber has to win the Vegas divisional - DeFrank has 3 events to try to get to 5th round. I want the Div 3 guy to win it but think DeFrank has a good shot at it.

I am not big on div-7 cars but DeFrank is tough in his owe backyard.i think he has too be the favorite.

DeFrank's record at Pomona is pretty good so I would have a hard time bettin against him. Also Vegas is usually a very tough field to get through. They all have had outstanding years and it should be great to watch. !!

ok, so B Leber lost in the first round in vegas and J Defrank in the third-I don't see Decker on the first round sheet at DRC, can anyone help me figure out where the points standings are now, heading into Pomona in 2 weeks??

Ron Brown · 11-03-2008, 11:55 AM

Scott, Decker wasn't at Vegas, that's why you didn't see him on the sheet. I'm wondering the samething you are as to how the points stand after this past weekend. It looks like NHRA site has them posted already but I'm not sure.

Each driver in the remaining NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series categories is eligible to compete for points at eight Divisional and six National events. When a driver has competed in those eight Divisional and six National events, or the season ends at the Automobile Club of Southern California Finals, their best five Divisional and best three National finishes will constitute the driver's NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series Championship points total.

So Leber has one divisional left to claim, Defranke has Pomona leeft to claim. Is this right ?

stage1scott · 11-03-2008, 12:59 PM

I dunno-my rulebook says one thing, but the points page on the NHRA website seems to indicate another, that's why I can never keep up. I see NO national events listed for J Defrank on his points tally on line, yet he won Phoenix early in the year, and the rule book says you get to claim participation in 6 national events. OTOH, it appears they both are eligible for Pomona, and if what I read right now is correct, whoever goes the furthest there will determine it. yes? no? anyone else? and I like thinking about these guys way better than the pros anyhow!
