Default National Event Entries

I notice that even though NHRA is on hold currently, they are still accepting people’s money to enter national events, I personally don’t find this fair, on top of nobody knowing if racing will even happen this season, now I still have to be cautious of the event entry lists just in case I want to go racing?? We all know NHRA does not give refunds, in my opinion the entry list should also be on hold until NHRA makes their decision on the season and dates, but I see guys entering still so who am I I guess......

If people are dumb enough to entry for nationals in the next 30-45 days that’s there problem. Rumor has it if the race your entered for get canceled your credit will last 2 years not the normal 1 year from event. If I was NHRA keep taking that money if people are willing to pay it.

If this is about money and not grade points - just enter the race and nhra will obviously allow you to transfer out if they postpone or cancel the race.

That is why this is such a grave situation.Our financial system is based upon someone paying you and you paying someone else and so on and so on.There will be no EZ fix for this crisis.

Its obvious because it works. Please detail any issues you have had with transfers. Are you worried that the races may fill before you can enter?

I have 10 grade points not my concern, me feeling is NHRA is completely on hold except for taking our money for events that will most likely get rescheduled, not a huge deal as long as you can make the dates they choose for the reschedule, but it’s guys like you and others that just continue to shell money out to NHRA even though racing as a whole is on hold until further notice, we have bigger issues going on in the world than worrrying about if and when they decide to go racing, that I need to be concerned about entering races.....I am self employed, NHRA says they will suspend the season, as of now I’m concerned about providing for my family not entering national events. This was just an observation I made today

It's the way the system works. So, you are worried about transferring $300.00 from one race to another? You should take that up with nhra if this is your complaint. Let us know how it works out.

If you can earn 10 grade points - you do not have a job like mine or an income like mine - or maybe you are retired and you saved money instead of racing your whole life.

So you think there won't be any more racing this year? You can't be a glass half-full or half-empty kind of guy. Your glass must have a hole in it. Enter the race you want while you can. You'll get a transfer if you don't go or the race is postponed. It's not that hard.
