Now come on Sid you are not a beginner !!!! And I'm not either ! I dont have the time or the funds to chase an NHRA national championship , neither do 90% of the other SST racers around the country . The issue with me is alot of us could get some points at the Nats instead of driviing 500 to 700 miles for an out of division race .

I thought that I was crazy for thinking about getting points for Super Street at a national event ,to be used for divional points. I have been thinking about it for several years ,but never got off my lazy butt,thinking that it would be turned down ,since I was the only one thinking it.I would be happy if it was used as an out of division race,just to get credit for it.
Thank you Regan for speaking your mind !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think its a great idea. After all, there is no National Championship, its the least they can do. If you dont win the event, at least you bring home some points.

I'm all for it. However there are lots of issues that would need to be resolved. I also like the idea of it being considered a OD race, this way it wouldn't necessarily force you to attend. This would also give NHRA some relief on the quota issue.
I too like the idea of a National Champion. However the points system would require quite a bit of thought to ensure everyone has a equal shot. Otherwise the fattest wallet could rule (?).
I kinda think that Rock is correct. The committee may be a better avenue to have your issue addressed than the div office.

Ray I wouldnt care if it were an ID or an OD . When they started giving us div points for the Sports Nats I started going . Granted they call that an ID race for us the only difference is they dont give Jegs points . NHRA has to have the quotas becuase of time and space restraints we couldnt change that . The way I see it is the serious racers or arent going to have a problem getting in . The people it would affect are the rookies and the sometimers that dont have the grade points . So if they did it like the Sports Nats but called it an OD race that would be fine with me .

I have to admit that, at first, I was questioning the idea. But, after reading that comment - I agree and it now makes sense.

Good idea Regan. I hope you're able to influence the right personnel to make this happen.

Thanks,
