Z-MAX car count

Brian VP · 09-18-2009, 05:40 AM

Well looking at car counts at IHRA races I really don't think that crate motors would make that big of a difference. Here is an idea, car count is low because the economy is hurting and concerning a lot of people right now and they are staying closer to home. That is it. It is no big deal, NHRA and Bruton are going to have to suffer through it like every person and business in this country.

I believe Brian has hit the nail right on the head.....many people are feeling the pinch. Washington tells us things are getting better?? Well, "show me the money"....costs are still skyrocketing, INCLUDING nhra's fees, etc. WJ

Alan did you have grade points from the year prior? You can use the current or previous years count what ever is higher.

I had not accumulated a grade point in 15 years or more when I entered to Bristol. The first grade point I accumulated in the last 15 years came at Bowling Green after I ran Bristol.

I think I accumulated 3 grade points last year after I entered the one national event I ran. The car has been sold and I have not run since Reynolds last year. I have accumulated no grade points this year, and may not race next year either, if the money situation does not improve.
