Re: Divisional entries
Some more info here on the Orlando opener, including the NHRATV offering on division races. Cody Savage has been very proactive in making D2 a great place to race and I’m sure however we’re instructed for entries and such is about the best we can hope for right now.
https://www.nhra.com/news/2021/nhra-...can-see-it-too FWIW, I’m not a fan of having any more than two charge cards and will be using my primary card’s alert settings to help prevent fraudulent charges if we’re required to enter events that way. Also, I’m in a wait and see if the NHRATV offering is even remotely close to what we’ve enjoyed thanks to Warren and his great sponsors like SDS.

Re: Divisional entries
I have not entered a LODRS race in a few years, when did NHRA change to on line entry only for a points meet? Are all the divisions like this? In Div.6 I always was able to just show up at the gate, with no prior notification required. Just seems, odd, since when I went to renew ny NHRA membership and Competition Numbers the other day, the Divisional office said that it had to be done on paper, because of the required signature. Yet, when I bought a house last year, 4000 miles away, we were able to do the entire transaction online, with virtual signatures. Just seems a bit strange that you can do a legal transaction for hundreds of thousands of dollars online, but not less than $200. for memberships.

The online registration for divisional races started after the Covid virus scare. Trying to limit contact at the race track. You signed all of the waivers on line as well as filling out the tech card. No actual tech either. Just some spot checks.

Re: Divisional entries
QUOTE=Mike Pearson;632084]I must be one of the minority. I actually liked the online pre entry. You didn't have to carry as much cash with you. Tech card was completed in advance. My computer auto filled most of the tech card so that was actually easier than the paper card at the track. I didn't have any issues with my credit card. Sped things up at the gate no lines to get in the track. D2 had paper time tickets at all of our events last year. D1 did as well at Virginia. Things pretty much ran as normal last year at the races that I attended.
Didn't like having to pay a fee to register on line though. That was the only down side.[/QUOTE] Mike, I agree with you, but they could make it a little more "User friendly" Once you fill out a card, you should be able to enter the next race with the same card. Going back to square one is a PITA!

Re: Divisional entries
Don't understand why they can't use the tech card we have already filled out on their website. Racers can just update it before a race if they are changing classes, or go through the hassle of changing at the track.
