If there are still slots with a week to go I think they should allow cars with no grade points in. Just my opinion.

Change your name to Kurt Bush, then you can get in. He ran Super Gas in Gainesville last year and never went to a div race. They tried to say he was at the div race in Commerce last year and if he was I don't know how he was able to win the race at Atlanta motor speedway that weekend. I race div 2 and no one I know ever saw him at Commerce.

I agree with Jeff Colvert (That's a FAST Mustang!) Toby Lang and Jeff Teuton.
Nobody owes me anything for driving down the track by myself.

It's all about enjoying what you can, when you can. Some of us have done it forever, some of us struggle just to do it, and some don't ever get the chance. I've been a class racing fanatic since I was in grade school, but had to wait until my 40s to even start. I still struggle with it both financially and physically, but I do what I can with what I have. Nobody should bash others for being able to do it. Whiners and crybabies can kill class racing just as much as the negative impact of NHRA.

You dont have to run the race just tech in, I think it adds up he teched his car in at Atlanta then went and raced at Atlanta....wow only 60 miles apart. I know for a fact he did this. I did this years ago where I teched in a street car is stock elim on Friday to get a grade point.

True. It can be a tool or a weapon, depending on how they're used.
