Apparently the #1 isn't good enough

I took a look on Pacific’s website (rules section 3.8) and looks to be similar to Bremerton but better spelled out no gray areas no number required for Wednesday TT’s . If you have a NHRA ET# then you don’t have to pay the $10 for their competition #

Ed, don't know about where you live but here it looks like a wash; if you bracket race at a couple different tracks it costs you the same as buying an NHRA #

Not to steal the thread but Division 6 guys take a look at Pacific's rules section 6.6 in particular.
If I read it correctly anything 9.99 or quicker needs a diaper next year at all Division 6 tracks is this old news?

I've got a buddy who races at Grand Junction CO with a x-stocker
340 Challenger bracket car (runs in the 11's) and he had to add
a diaper to run at the local 1/8th mile track.

False.

I`m sure it all depends on the track. If you have a low digit NHRA number,the track can let you use it for your ET class,or make you use your ET or Stock number. The single digit Brad was trying to use isn`t an ET number,so the track was going by their rules. Kind of petty,I think. If someone shows up at your track with a single digit on their window,let them run it. By gosh,they earned that little number! Let them enjoy it!

I agree,,,he earned it let him use it. What harm does it cause?
By the way,,,I left early yesterday, but got a call today and heard that Brad went to the finals in Pro ET and won,,so there you go! That paid for buying the number, and then some!

Bill, 9.99 and quicker will need a diaper. I hear Woodburn is requiring them now.

At Norwalk, If you don't have a number which is the case for many of the Sportsman/Street cars, then you just shoe polish the number from your tech card on your window. Same goes for Milan. This is how it has always been for me. Sounds like many of you guys are flat out getting screwed over.

Unless you are running for track points where you have to have , other than making an easy $10, why would a track have to sell a number? The tracks that I have raced at for cars that don't have a number, they just assign one to the drivers when they come through the gate and as mannyman said, they just put it on the car in shoe polish.

here is what is on the Kanawha Valley Dragway (from my state) website:
ATTENTION POINTS RACERS

Points Racers – You must have an X number issued by IHRA in order to compete in the

Summit SuperSeries and attend the Bracket Finals.

The numbers are FREE. Contact Donna Harper 419-660-4219

That $10 is just cash going in the owner's pocket.

Dustin sent me a link that states that Pacific is now (2011) honoring NHRA numbers. I may go there again now, LOL
