Re: National Event Alternate List
talk to your district racer rep. alternate list is a big problem, and probaly will not work. you do not have to withdrawal till the monday before the race. how many of the alternates are able to get to track on short notice like that? if you change the withdrawal date, how many racers would be upset if they changed withdrawal period.

Re: National Event Alternate List
Back in the day, there wasn't a quota for National Events. NHRA would mail out a list of events and you would pick which ones you wanted to enter. About 6-8 weeks before that race you would get an entry form to fill out and pay for your entry. All of a sudden, NHRA noticed that there were 100+ cars at a National and only 50 at the Divisionals. Back then there wasn't any Live drag racing on TV. We had to wait a few weeks to see the race. Now with live TV, it's vital for the racers to be ready on-time. I believe this is the driving force behind lower car counts. I'm sure NHRA makes for $$$ from TV than having a few more sportsman cars enter. It's always all about the $$$$.

Re: National Event Alternate List
For those that may not know, the way the online national event entry system is now is that withdrawals need to be done by 12:00 noon PT on the Monday before an event and entries can be submitted up to 1:00 pm PT on the Monday before an event. So there is an hour when people can enter after all of the withdrawals are made if there are any open quota spots. The only thing is that you need to be able to get on your device to do it during that hour and it's "first come, first served".

Re: National Event Alternate List
I'd like to tell you it was better being in business for yourself but I can't tell you how many races I've skipped or pulled out of because I needed to be here for work. Working sucks!
