SS Indy withdrawls permitted!

thomas sheehan · 09-04-2012, 08:59 AM

I sent a note to Josh Peterson about withdrawing from INDY, and he responded.
See my email and his response below.

Yes, if a competitor does not return next weekend we will consider it as if the competitor was never entered the event. Following the completion of next weekend’s event competitors who did not return will be issued a credit towards their account.

Thanks

Josh Peterson

Is there any withdrawl consideration for SS competitors?

I don't have a dog in this race but this is outstanding: I've always been impressed by how Josh and the entire staff work with racers. That said, I can't help but wonder how this would work for those who won class and chase those points...would that mean they would not get the points if they don't return?

No points are ever awarded for class win in Stock or SS. Points are only awarded for the eliminator.

Indy does not count towards the class points! It pays class contingency money! No points!

Having a slow car,I really don't follow all of the rules,but thanks for pointing that out.

I NEVER would have guessed that the most prestigious race would not count for points.If anything,I would have thought it would have been double points.

New this year Indy counts for class points. Read the note from NHRA back on Jan 26 of this year. All class races count for points. I also asked Charlie Nelson of NHRA and he confirmed this.

Ok, here's what you referenced....

So can someone who collected points in class not return next weekend and still keep those points, after all if it's like a withdrawal the driver was never there...

What, if any is the update or procedure to "withdraw" from Indy? I e-mailed Josh after this initial post and have not heard anything back

Does anyone know about this?

Randy
If you did not go back NHRA automatically credited your NHRA account with the entry fee. It should be there now.
