Its actually very simple
here are some options if you don't want to be on the outside looking in for national events.
The first one is the most hardest of them all be a former world champ

Second have a single digit number Or a 10

Third win a div championship earning you a gold card for the up coming season

And lastly if the first three fail run 5-6 points meets per season.
If you do one of these four things each year you my friend will not have any problems entering for any national events.

Might help some if provisionals enter on the Monday before the race.

David Rampy told me one time that he tries to wait to enter so that others can get in. Not sure just how many others do that though.

Well said Charlie !

Tony I think most racers that have silver or gold cards wait until after the event has filled before they enter. The bigger question is how dose Vic cagnazzi enter a event like Gainesville after it has reached it's quota.
He's not a past world camp
He did not finsh top ten last year
He's does not have a gold card
He's not currently running or owning a pro team

That's the question guys with 3-2 grade points should be asking. Why is this guy allowed to enter after the event was full. I believe Vic only had 3 grade points.

Victor is a past World Champion owner, that's how.

[Charley Downing]

Who was that?

Charley,

Before you slam Victor, you should do some research. Victor won two Pro Stock World Championships as an owner, owner points due count.

Charlie, Went to my first NHRA points race in 1974. Ran Super Stock for about 6 years in Div 4. Quit for a few years then built Stock Eliminator car that we still race today now in Div 2. Over the years I probably averaged 4 National events and 4-5 points races each year. I was scheduled to run two more points races(Bowling Green & Reynolds) last year but ended up at home because of a family emergency. Last year it there were openings in Gainesville & Indy that you could have entered with two grade points. Guess I was just surprised that it took so many to get in this year. I'm happy for the people who got in but just think that maybe the quota system needs a little revamping. Good luck to everyone at Gainesville. Mike McMahan 2543 H/SA

Kenny that's the biggest line of ***** I have heard in a long time. So what your telling me is that if I were to win a world championship and put my dad as a owner then he could enter at any time?

Kenny I just want everyone to play by the same rules. Seeing how you are a expert on owner points how long do they last?
