You could probably get away with a grade 1 and still enter some nationals...but it's doubtful. I think NHRA just forced your hand to run more divisional events.

The two Vegas races in 2009 with quotas of 130 for Super Stock and Stock should be no problem with one grade point.

"Provisional entries (Gold, Silver, past world and past event champions) will not be allowed to re-enter after withdrawing.
Bronze Card holders will no longer be guaranteed entry. Bronze card holders must enter prior to the category reaching quota. "

Some of these changes, fortunately, will NOT impact those of us with a Rust Card!

From the .90 Forum:

"Could it be from the little uproar over the driver change in Pomona that seemed a little fishy? Maybe a few people felt it was a little biased and made some phone calls. Now maybe NHRA is trying to get out of trouble, like they're doing something about it.

Nevermind Bill, found it!

This started as a thread to explain the new changes involving online entries, withdrawls, etc. But the IHRA guys have chimed in and turned the thread into a "why not come race with us???" We know your there, we just don't want to. Just like I don't like crate motored stockers, and don't care to understand why you have SS/PZA2D2. Its not that I have anything at all against IHRA, but I will stick it out where I am at. You go ahead and support your league that loves you, and I will continue to get "enhanced" by mine.

Its been that way since the beginning of IHRA. Its mostly about NHRA "EGO" and what most hard core NHRA racers think is a second class deal . IHRA has tried hard over the years and survived many ups and downs. Most dont realize that if they supported IHRA more then the association could grow and aquire better tracks, more help, more and better sponsers, and more knowledgeable tech personnel to perform the required inspections. They have done a lot with so little. Ive had my ups and downs and diagreements with management but to be honest.....I would rather race or work for free with IHRA than work with NHRA and be paid. If you can call what most NHRA tech people make getting paid. Dont get me wrong....I have some great friends who work for NHRA but they do it for the love of the sport and because of the racers just as I did for so many years for IHRA. I worked for NHRA in 1974-75 and believe me.....theres NO comparison between the two. Contrary to popular belief.....NHRA management cannot "Walk on Water". Terry Bell

I think IHRA would get alot more cars if the rules were enforced and they didn't have a class for everything, including your lawmower!. Get rid of the SPZ2-23A WTF classes!.
