BRINK, I agree. I don't like people who don't use their names. The rest of your post showed about as much stupidity as that comment.
Tony, you should be able to get in with your 1 grade pont; Indy goes to Grade 1 on Aug. 6. Inevitably, there will be a few withdrawals; you will have to be quick to enter as soon as you see a withdrawal. Good luck, I go to Indy every year and I always look forward to seeing you.

Joe Paillot (the poster Hemi car) is in the same boat, broken all year and has one GP. I also towed 2500 miles RT to Dutch and blanked. Had to take two cars to Belle Rose this Spring. We have asked Mopar to lobby as well as our D4 director to, at a minimum take it to grade 1 and 180.

Tony,
I would contact Dave Mohn at Div. 1 office. We were told everyone that was at the Dutch Classic last year would get a grade point.

Competition Eliminator 70 17 24.3%

Super Stock 160 160 100.0%

Stock Eliminator 180 132 73.3%

Super Comp 160 85 53.1%

Super Gas 160 81 50.6%

Think about this. If registration closed right now there would be 255 sportsman spots open, I think that after one week of one grade point level, NHRA could go to an open format let any sportsman car ( with 1 point) in regardless of quota until the extra 255 spots are filled. They are all set fields, and the extra $91,800 (with no increase in payout) has got to ring NHRA's bell. They already set the time for that many cars, for parking, time trials etc. So many things would be a benefit. Every body had a week at grade one to get in, then for the week after that whatever sportsman is left open is for any sportsman entrant.

They tossed that rule out years ago

Yes Stephen, I just noticed that the quota has been increased to 180; and already the entries have increased from 160 to 172. Indy goes to Grade 1 tomorrow, and only 8 spots left open.
