Charlie, Went to my first NHRA points race in 1974. Ran Super Stock for about 6 years in Div 4. Quit for a few years then built Stock Eliminator car that we still race today now in Div 2. Over the years I probably averaged 4 National events and 4-5 points races each year. I was scheduled to run two more points races(Bowling Green & Reynolds) last year but ended up at home because of a family emergency. Last year it there were openings in Gainesville & Indy that you could have entered with two grade points. Guess I was just surprised that it took so many to get in this year. I'm happy for the people who got in but just think that maybe the quota system needs a little revamping. Good luck to everyone at Gainesville. Mike McMahan 2543 H/SA
