Problem is NHRA setting quotas so low a person needs 5 GP's to get in and their reasoning for this is parking space, schedule issues. Then run us till 10 or 11 o'clock Saturday nights to get us down to Semis then go fill up Sunday's show sleds,275, street outlaws or whatever other clown show they can think of. I have to agree with what Ken said and its a slap in the face all sportsman racers running lodrs races in search of valuable grade points.

Winner!
I was out of stock for 7-8 years and when I made a return I was incredibly surprised how much things changed. There never used to be a quota when we ran a national event. I remember standing in line at Firebird many times waiting to buy my credentials for the CSK Nationals/Arizona Nationals/Etc, same at Pomona, Vegas, etc. When I decided to build another car and get back in it I knew it would take a couple of seasons to accumulate enough GP's to race a national event. We all know travel expenses and entry fees rack up really fast and it was a grind but I'll be racing at my first national event this year since 2002. To give guys a free pass at one of the most coveted trophies in motorsports leaves a bad taste in my mouth after years of putting a plan in motion. Some friends are on the outside looking in with 3 or 4 GP's and a national event at their home track(s). My voice is so small that it will never be heard as is the case with most others. We all know the only way to voice is our opinion is not to buy in to it but for every one that doesn't pull the trigger there are 5 behind waiting buy. This is the world we live in and we have to make the best of it. It sucks, I'm not happy with it but we have 2 options; roll with it or move out.
