Last year some people got in with one grade point. Things are much worse this year so I think one grade point will still do it

Depends alot on the weather. If your car can't run a -1.00 second under though you will be taking a chance.IMO

I think -1.00 under will definately qualify for the 128 car field.On the other hand,1.00 OVER might make the cut too!

They will all make it. There will not be enough cars to fill the field.

Jim and Hammer, this is what I was trying to imply in my first post. Things are much worse this year than last. We didn't have a full field at the Indy points meet and it is a sign of the current conditions. Now that NHRA has raised prices it should reflect in the car count.You have to be there no later than Wednsday night and hotel prices skyrocket starting Friday night. I say if you can show up and run -.500 you are in the field.
