If I were you I would run the Lucas Oil race at Gainesville, leave your stuff at my house or SGMP, and come back for the $5K shootout and Lucas Oil race in two weeks.

Your best 5 out of your first 8 are your points races. Up to 3 can be out of your claimed division, which you must claim at your first race of the year. 10 to tech in, 30 if you stage for first round, then there is a points matrix after that, but generally add 10 each round (+1 each round after second round), 10 extra to win the final.

The Cajun SportsNationals are a division 2 race for S/ST.

Your best pickups of out of division races would be VMP and Bowling Green.

John,
Is it 3 in or 3 out?
I was thinking
5 of 8 with 3 must be home division am I right or wrong?
Thanks

You must claim at least 3 in or it is like you were never there. I learned this 2 years ago.

Best 5 out of first 8 races.

NHRA LUCAS OIL DRAG RACING SERIES DIVISIONAL

To accommodate those Top Alcohol Funny Car/Dragster and Top Alcohol Drag Racing Series racers who elect to concentrate activity closer to their home, separate Divisional programs are conducted to honor the top points champions in each of NHRA's seven geographic Divisions. Standings for this series are based totally upon NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series Divisional events (National events do not apply). At the time a driver enters a Divisional event for the first time of the season, it is required that said driver declare which of the seven NHRA Divisions is to be his home Division. That Division will become his home Division for the season. Contestants are not permitted to be listed in more than one Division in the same category. Drivers in all Top Alcohol Funny Car/Dragster and NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series categories may compete for home division NHRA Top Alcohol points at up to eight Divisional events and will be credited with the points earned at their best five finishes including up to two "out of division" races. It is allowable to earn points at outside events even after a driver's home divisional schedule is completed. To be eligible for official NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series points and subsequent post-season awards, it is mandatory that a contestant participate at a minimum of three races within their home Division.
