Very good points Dan. There are many who can make good arugments for both sides of this issue. And as another post pointed out it is still possible for Kurt to earn his required grade point before Gainsville.
What I think a lot of racers would disagree with is the fact the someone of your racing stature and long time supporter (playing by NHRA's own rules) wasn't allowed to race at Richmond, and now the possibility exists that (or to this point the rumor exists) they may relax their own rules to allow a non grade point racer to participate. The fact that the fields are not full shouldn't matter. You were no exception, why should someone else be?
