No, because it's of little significance to me to do so. I was just responding to why this thread was started, imho. I'm sorry Alex, Ang Man, and the Hawk Bros., weren't able to get in, but they still can if someone backs out?

I screwed up and entered 2 days ago, thought grade 1 had already opened, and I apologize to anyone that didn't get in because of it.

In case anybody wonders...
I talked to a nice lady at NHRA competition yesterday.
I said, seeing Super Street only has 18 entries on a 40 spec., how about adding 10 to Stock?
She said NO ..they won't do it.
I said .."well, they have changed quotas in the past."
She told me they aren't changing any quotas this year.

So there you go, folks . There's your business model. Turning away cash flow ,when they already allotted for it.

I better stop now.....

Mark I feel your pain, I tried a couple of years ago to get into the gator nats when there were 4 open spots because of people withdrawals. But because of the cut off was done at 3 grade points and I only had one, NHRA wouldn't take my money either.
I had it out with some genius in California who finally came to my way of thinking, too late for the gators though. Now if the field is full at 5 grade points, if there is a withdrawal, someone with one grade point can get in.

Teddy, I don't know what your point is ...but we received 4 inches of snow on Sunday..I love the different seasons here in the Ohio Valley...I will get back to you when it's 101 degrees in the shade at your place. BTW, it might be racing weather in Chandler, but neither YOU or your Teammate is racing at the national event. You might need to work on that CREDIT CARD reaction time...LOL.....

Thanks ,Randy

Let's just say it was a coordinated effort.
You know, I never made much money on our S/SS races, but I did make many good friends.

I'll try to report some from Tucson, but expect to be quite busy.

I have it from a good source that the #2 qualifier will be coming apart.

Congrats on your entry from me as well Mark and Alex...I'm not overly surprised the opportunity to get you in materialized, but now I wish the Hawk Bros. could've gotten in too, since this is their home national event as well. See ya'll next week!

Gary,

We weren't trying to get in.. I'm sure we could have if we had wanted to. We had the car apart until last night and had a couple other cars apart as well. We are in wait and see mode. Want to test a few things and the National is just too expensive to take an untested car to. Especially since we have to enter so far in advance. The car will be at the open this weekend, and we are weighing our options on the Divisional. We will see how it runs. Still have a few changes to make, but didn't want to do them all at once.

Also, with school and working at the university it's pretty hard to schedule racing at multi-day events into my life.

May be a surprise waiting for everyone at the Open this weekend if everything goes well the next 2 nights.

Brad

Well good luck with getting all of that worked out Brad, and I hope Tucson has a good turnout for their Nat. Open race. I'm also glad you are keeping yourself focused on your studies, as you'll have plenty of time for racing afterwards! Hopefully all will be good for the divisional....
