What's up with NHRA logic?

[Casey Miles]

Talk about member tracks, down here all the tracks used to be NHRA, Now they are IHRA, my closest track to me is Orlando, 200 miles away. Who's fault is it that that the tracks go to another association? Not the racer! We used to have a national open at the old Moroso, (grade point) now there is nothing in the area. There are 5 tracks down here and all are IHRA.
I want to participate at the NHRA and do my best with limited time to do so. Since I got layed off from my job of 24 years, and started with a new job, there is no vacation time to just go to the points races that are 300 to 750 miles away.

There are still some racers out here with limited buggets and very limited time but still want to participate.

I'm with you, James. I want to enter Supernats but with a grade 4, I might be on the outside looking in. Needing grade points to enter a national is nothing new. When I started racing in the mid 70s, the division office would send you a request sheet for the national events you wanted to enter. You checked off the races and they sent you back the applications. These application forms had the number of division races you attended in the corner.

just another example of the many in this country that feel they are ENTITLED to a good paying job, medical coverage, a house, a new car, paid vacation and now entry into a national event have the soialist mentality where everyone is equal and hard work, dedication, commitment means nothing.
