He must have been a past universe champ in something ...

Seems to me I remember something about drugs, a drag strip in Md. being used as a runway (Budds Creek maybe) and some other stuff but I think Roy took all of the heat and some others I know about got off free and clear so I cant mention names on here around 1974-5-6 era. He spent time at the Petersburg resort in Va. Thats where they send most of the "white Collar crime" types.

Can you spell F-O-R-D or Bruton ? Think about that one.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,

The quota for Atlanta was 100 cars. They have 65 entries for Super Stock. Who really cares if Roy Hill got in without a grade point? At least it's another car at the event!

This is the first year that they are enforcing the gold card rule.... A driver that wins a gold card at the end of the year summit series ET finals can’t use that gold card in the Lucas Oil series or any national events for the following year anymore.

Sounds like a bad decision ,NHRA should encourage a Bracket car to upgrade to Stock or Super Stock and besides There are not that many Gold cards to make any difference ,if they don't go but if they do more money for the track

Mybe Kurt got him in.LOL
Seriously Who cares if the field is'nt full.

One more thing. Roy did his time and it was'nt at no country club either. It happened nearly 30 years ago. Leave him alone and let him race. Besides as fast as that Ford is ya'll will have something else to b!tch about Friday.

Did anybody here Roy on Johnboy & Billy earlier this week? He was talking about the Mustang and the ROCK. Then the story on Competition Plus. He's good for a little publicity too...........

NHRA cost themselves setting the hook on a Sportsman standout by not allowing him to use his Bracket Finals Gold Card for Nat'l/Div'l events. They inadvertently not only cost themselves money in the long term, but also manufacturers and tracks. Good thinkin'.

Hey Chip! How much money did you save with your Gold Card the year after you won the Bracket Finals? How much did you *spend* that year on crew passes for your family, souvenirs, and how much did you spend with manufacturers and other businesses? How much have you spent since? Just think how much money you'd have if you were still just bracket racing the Cheerwine Nova!

Lets stop worring about a grading point that actually means nothing anymore.

Ding, ding! We have a winner. It's NOT about Roy Hill or Kurt Busch... it's about the now-irrelevant grade point system. If you don't want to use the grade point system, fine - GET RID OF IT! *But*, if you ARE going to have rules and a grade point system, USE THEM!
