NHRA SST points question

THE LEGEND · 01-29-2012, 12:39 PM

Will someone explain how the division points in SST work.
How many can you attend?
How many races are actual claims?
How many must be in division?
How do the Sportsnationals work?
Thanks

If your talking about about grade points, you get one per div race.
If your talking about points towards div champ you get 30 for going through tech and loosing first round. If you break before first round you get 10 points. If you win first round, you pick up 10 more and on and on. Depending on car count you start picking up 1 extra for each win, 11 for third or forth round, 12 for fourth or fifth.............not sure how it works after that....lol

1. As many div races as you want
2. Each race (div) is 1 point towards grade points.
3. As many as you want, but only 5 are counted towards your div points. If you and someone else have the same amount of points the person with more home div points wins, But you can claim any div you want.
4. Just show up and race. S/St does get div points for a sport nationals..
( you can pr-enter and save $25. if ya want)

Hope this isn't to confusing ...........

I assume best 5 out of 8?
How many must be your home division?
Does Sportsnats count as a Home division claim?
Thanks

Correct, best 5 of 8 with minimum of 3 in your home division. If you claim the division where the SportsNats occurs it counts as a home division race.

If I were you I would run the Lucas Oil race at Gainesville, leave your stuff at my house or SGMP, and come back for the $5K shootout and Lucas Oil race in two weeks.

Your best 5 out of your first 8 are your points races. Up to 3 can be out of your claimed division, which you must claim at your first race of the year. 10 to tech in, 30 if you stage for first round, then there is a points matrix after that, but generally add 10 each round (+1 each round after second round), 10 extra to win the final.

The Cajun SportsNationals are a division 2 race for S/ST.

Your best pickups of out of division races would be VMP and Bowling Green.

John,
Is it 3 in or 3 out?
I was thinking
5 of 8 with 3 must be home division am I right or wrong?
Thanks
