New Grade Point System
I propose a new grade point system which I believe benefits racers and NHRA

Re: New Grade Point System
Racers being racers, you will see a lot of grade 9+ entries. The NHRA would have no way to plan for parking if they wait to enter.
One good change suggestion that someone brought up recently was to exclude the World Champions, etc. from the quota.

Re: New Grade Point System
Bobby, as always, another idea with merit. My question would be if we
assume the current entrants at Gainesville have 9 or more grade points, that would be 35 entries. I believe that Gainesville would fill at least 50 entries besides 1/2 of the ones already entered. That would give us 85 entries for lows. I love it, but will NHRA? They then need parking for 4 classes x 15 extra entries, which there is room for in Gainesville, albeit on the round track (bring lots of fuel). If anything of your efforts get us 10, 15, or 20 more entries, we will have to promote you to running for Governor Of New Jersey. I was going suggest President Of The USA, but then I remembered that Ford thing, which I think automatically disqualifies a person from the Oval Office. J.R. |

Re: New Grade Point System
the NHRA ain't going to change a damn thing about sportsman racing, not the grading system, not the quotas, not the payouts but they will increase the entry fees.

It doesn’t hurt anything to try and ask nhra about any suggestions to better the sport as a whole. Bobby has some great ideas and maybe it might help if the negative comments are not posted on here.

Re: New Grade Point System
I am right and Bobby as well anyone else can post their opinion here as I have as well they can suggest whatever they want the NHRA to change BUT history as shown NOTHING will change that benefits the racer...grade point system, entry quotas nor payouts.

Re: New Grade Point System
Monday deadline has not changed so they will have the same amount of time as always. I do not see any difference. I will elaborate on the issue and address all your comments on Tuesday night so be sure to tune in!

Re: New Grade Point System
I think the big problem is, the Pit areas were not designed for everyone to drag in a 2 bedroom house with a 3 car garage.

Re: New Grade Point System
part of the problem as I see it is with the advent of Motorhomes and Stacker trailers you now have the equivalent of literally hundreds of Semi Trailer trucks attending every race. Now some guys still use 20=28 foot trailers and a suburban but MOST do not herein is where the problem begins---where to put everyone's 50-70 foot rig.
