Does anyone know if Peter Biondo took over points lead after this weekend? In stock or superstock.

Re: The terminator
 

Updated points are on the NHRA site. He's not currently #1.

Re: The terminator
 

Was'nt sure because of rain delay if NHRA sight was correct, He did go to semis this W/E.

Re: The terminator
 

By my count from this weekend, no, Peter didn't take over the lead in either.
He improved in both Stk & SS and still has this week in Georgia to improve, but others still have a shot to improve @ Vegas & Pomona,,,,, so it isn't over yet. Tighter yes, over no.

It's 9:15PM CST and although NHRA shows points updated as of 10/15, some are and some aren't. It usually takes 24-72 hours for all of the updates to show up.
Last week I was checking daily before heading off to Noble and I think it was late Thursday before everybody was up to date, and I could print off a correct points standing sheet.
Lots of racers and lots of points, takes awhile to get everyone completed. Patsy Hill has another post that says everyone needs to check their points totals, probably not a bad idea, just to be sure.

Thanks Unk

Re: The terminator
 

I have not check S & SS but Comp is all messed up. They have racers with 9 divisionals that only have 7 or 8. They have Lee Zane taking points at the Jeg's race and the Alanta points at the same time on the same day. Division 4 points are not even close to being right.

They gave Mike Johnson Arnie Martel's points for running up in Comp this weekend at Noble.

Re: The terminator
 

After reading the "How points are earned" section I'm confused.

For Divisional Points the rule states: "To be eligible for official NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series points and subsequent post-season awards, it is mandatory that a contestant participate at a minimum of three races within their home Division."
But
I don't see this as a rule for National Points.

So my question is:

Is "The Terminator" only able to improve on his OD points because he has to count his 3 home division races for National points too or is there a seperate points count that I'm unaware of for National vs Divisional points?

Re: The terminator
 

Rich, You may only claim 2 OD races from your total of 8

Re: The terminator
 

I'm curious about that rule.

I know i've seen in seasons past where someone like biondo,fletcher or one of the traveling hitters used like 4 or 5 OD.

Currently David Eaton in comp is claiming 3 outside divisional races. As is Biondo in BOTH classes.

Re: The terminator
 

In anything other than alcohol classes it is figured this way----You can compete at 8 Div & 6 Natl meets with your best 5 div & 5 national counting for the national championship ---Take your best 5 out of 8 divisionals WITH NO MORE THAN 2 out of the 5 for a divisional championship----My take on it ---Comp 387

Re: The terminator
 

The way I read it, the (2 out fo division race rule) only applies to divisional points. As far as national points you can claim all 5 "out of division" divisional races if needed.

Re: The terminator
 

Correct except your best 3 out of 6 nationals for the national championship.

Re: The terminator
 

Trying to remember......

Is it best 5 of 8 or best 6 of 8 Divisionals?

Re: The terminator
 

Best 5 out of 8 divisionals
