Gators S/SS Entries

[Hacksaw]

I thought they already have some kind of average system for racers that a major setback, mechanical or otherwise.

Hats off to all the present and former Champs that did not enter. They can enter the very last day even if it is closed, But it is understandable if the Champs enter some time before the last day. I remember Dan Fletcher forgot to enter until after the cut off time and NHRA would not accept his entry. Moral of the story: enter early and enter often, unless you be the Champ!

They can average the three previous years. I asked to average the 3 years preceding my recent 4 year “sabbatical” and NHRA said no. I don’t really have an big issue with starting over, it’s “house rules” and everybody knows that going in. Or at least they should.

Shouldn't a National Event include the best racers, not the racer who went to 8 races and lost in the 1st rd at them all? How about the top ten in each division gets 8 grad points. 11-20 gets 7, 21-30 gets 6 and so on. The field wouldn't fill up as fast and it would be based on accomplishments instead of location. Just a thought.
