NHRA cost themselves setting the hook on a Sportsman standout by not allowing him to use his Bracket Finals Gold Card for Nat'l/Div'l events. They inadvertently not only cost themselves money in the long term, but also manufacturers and tracks. Good thinkin'.

Hey Chip! How much money did you save with your Gold Card the year after you won the Bracket Finals? How much did you *spend* that year on crew passes for your family, souvenirs, and how much did you spend with manufacturers and other businesses? How much have you spent since? Just think how much money you'd have if you were still just bracket racing the Cheerwine Nova!

Lets stop worring about a grading point that actually means nothing anymore.
Ding, ding! We have a winner. It's NOT about Roy Hill or Kurt Busch... it's about the now-irrelevant grade point system. If you don't want to use the grade point system, fine - GET RID OF IT! *But*, if you ARE going to have rules and a grade point system, USE THEM!
