Re: What's Up With The Min Age For Nhra????
I found out officially -
Andy who has beend driving since he was 8 and been the junior champ
Won Fontana divisional this year
Just competed at the November Pomona National meet
Has competed at atleast a half a dozen other National meets (semis in Seattle)
Ended up 4th in the division
CAN NOT enter the up coming Pomona meet or Phoenix national either
He will not be 18 until March 7th
No provision for "grandfathering in" or exception or wavier (so far)
Since he is in the hunt for the Jegs AllStar points - would be nice to be able to at least run Phoenix, the week before the divisional - like the rest of his competitors
Also these are the two closest races to our home
Guess in the long run it will save money
This may only be a problem for us so - excuse the venting
I have spoken to countless people and they can not believ this (even NHRA officials)
It is part of some tabaco settlement for the PROs
