So is there contingency being paid at baby gators for class?

Cody,

When will class be run for the Gators at the Gators or the week before at the points race. Trying to make plans.

Thanks Denny

So I can go to the baby Gators win class and get a baby Wally? Without a Gatornations entry? My how times have changed!! I 9bly got 5 grade points, don't think that will cut it this year.

That’s funny

Anymore, with entries so limited and little or no contingencies, class is becoming meaningless except for Sportsnationals and Indy. It's a shame, it used to mean something.

If it still meant anything , you could qualify at Indy by winning one of them.
Beginning of the end right there, folks.

When they stopped tearing cars down after class was the writing on the wall. It means nothing to win class if the cars aren't legal. Might as well say "run what ya brung". Very sad!!

Hello Everyone
Hope you all had a great holiday season. It is almost time to go racing.
I have had a lot of question about Stock and Super Stock Class at the Baby Gators. Yes, that is still happening. It will start March 7th on Thursday starting at 9 AM with at least one run for all classes and probably 2 for Stock and Super Stock, Friday will start at 9 AM with normal rotation for .90 classes and class elimination for Stock and Super Stock. Saturday will start at 9 am probably with the last time run for some classes and first round for some other classes to be determined. An exact schedule with be post on the D2 facebook page probably as early as next week and on the NHRA web site after that. Wish I had more info to tell you but it will be coming next week.
Hope this helps. Have a great day

Thanks

Maybe NHRA should allow all class finalist at the division race to enter the national event regardless of grade points. That could make it more meaningful to run for class.,
better turn out and maybe better racing.
