Grade Point Alternative

[Paradigm Shift]

"We currently have 3 of our 4 SS spots filled for the Gatorsnationals filled ($1000 each)."

Certainly sounds like a lot of filling. Hardly surprising considering it is the Gatorsnationals.

Why set pricing? May I suggest an online and discreet bidding system be implemented.

$1000 for a spot to race at the Gatorsnationals? Sounds like chicken feed. We'd be willing to up that ante by a significant amount to ensure ourselves of the "experience" offered at national events.

Have volume discounts been considered? What about buying entry into the same event over the course of several years? Maybe a three season package?

Let the bidding begin!

This is a Joke right?

Charlie Ol buddy, have you got any spots open for other sporting events or maybe concerts.
On the Gatornational spots, does it include parking on the grass or pavement.
Did you ever consider offering buy backs.
This reminds me of a Alfred E Nueman article.
If I were to get a spot, do you come by periodically to see if everything is going well.
Keep up the good work Charlie.

So my son who has 8 grade points and is Division champ should enter every event this year and then withdraw and let someone buy his entry?

BTW We would NEVER DO THAT, if we are on the pre entry sheet you will see us there unless a problem come up.

With our recent success the past few hours. We are now looking to expand our GPA team. We are now on the lookout for past stk and ss world champs preferably that are no longer racing or those racing a limited schedule. If you are a past stk or ss word champ and would like to help hold spots for grade point deprived racers, please contact me for more info.
This is a great way for retired racers to earn a little extra cash.

Side note
Do you currently have a national event entry spot your holding and are looking to sell it anonymously? Afraid of what your pers might think of you? no problem just contact us with your asking selling price and will do all the work for you. GPA charges a finder’s fee of 25% for helping sell your spot anonymously. This way other racers with less then 8 grade points won’t get mad at you.
Yea no one would ever save spots at national events wink wink.

Just remember its not your fault NHRA created this broken entry system
Put your money where your grade points aren’t

It's was only a matter of time. Where I live in Western Canada, it costs me
an average of $3000.00 per points meet. Pretty simple, 8 x $3000.00= 24,000.00 if I want to run the big races, and if I'm really fast on the keyboard. (Questionable). So for the 3 National events that I want to attend,
1 would be a 1000.00, 2 would be 500.00, total 2000.00. go to the 4 points meets a year that I like is 12,000.00, a savings of 12,000.00 minus 2,000.00 to Charlie & Co. and I'm up 10,000.00. Use the extra races to go to our Assn. races where you actually leave with money, say 5000.00 a year, and I'm 15,000.00 better off. I better stop before I actually think I make money racing!

Brillant idea Charley, but how long before the NHRA puts the kibosh on this enterprise?

[Charley Downing]

Frank why would NHRA care who the 50 racers in each class are. The entry money is the same to them. As far as the NHRA bean counters see it its a non issue for them.
