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.

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.

With the way the infections are increasing I can easily see the season not starting back up until late this year. What happens if you have a bunch of credits from cancelled nationals but don't go to enough divisonals to keep up your grade points and can't get into the nationals close to you next year? Doubt NHRA will refund you.

This is true Michael but everyone will obviously be in the same situation next year with lack of grade points unless they try to actually make up all the postponed division races later in the year. Also I think it was Charley who said rumor has it the credit may be good for 2 years.

Do you race? What’s the last national event you went to? No your missing the point, I am definitely a glass half full guy, have you not seen the letter from NHRA? Just posted. Couple days ago? Even NHRA doesn’t know when they will start back up, so for them to still be taking peoples money even though they aren’t even scheduling races isn’t right, but hey you must be one of those guys that has more money than brains and is entering all these national events even tho we don’t know when racing will resume.

For your knowledge I was at South Georgia, baby gators and the gator nationals a couple weeks ago, were you there?? We’re you listening to the announcers talking about the current issue? My guess is no

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?
