New Grade Point Deal?????????

[B Aceves]

As a young lad growing up at the track and around some great racers, I was told every time we discussed something related to NHRA never use LOGIC..... But, I will say it anyways, You would think with low car counts they would remove grade points for now..
Probably some of the best advice givin huh!!!

Hammer, we both know that NHRA will not change the grade points. Their reasoning "probably" that if they remove them that less people will go to divisionals. Can't have that, less money (sarcasm).

It also "appears" Busch got his grade point. That kind of takes away the basis for asking for no grade points.

I really hope I get to meet alot of the people this summer that I get to have all this fun banter with. Makes the NY winters go by a little faster! So please, if anyone is out and about in D1 this year, look me up. I'm one of those cars that no one watches! LOL

I have heared alot of reference to people seeing Kurts car at the divisional. But I have not herared one person say they seen him at the race. I would think to get a grade point he would have to be with his car.

As long as a "crew chief" has your comp license, signed tech card, and a car, you can get through tech...hence a grade point.

Right or wrong, that's the way it is.

Isn't the driver REQUIRED to sign the entry ? So he'd need to be present ??

Thats what I thought don't they ask for you drivers license? I could really care less if Kurt races I was just curios how you could get a grade point with out being there. If that is the case you will have people pulling all kind of stunts to get grade points with out going to a divisional race.

I don't want to start a fuss but with all the car counts low at all the races why not do away with grade points and allow open fields or fill the field with grade point owners and if there are any open slots fill them with first come/first serve non-grade point racers?

Just wondering
