NHRA national question

Basically correct Chip; Bill doesn't run S/ST so perhaps he doesn't know about the Scotty rule (unless they change it) in which case you can't run anything combined with S/ST at a single event. Anyway, your current year's points count as your running total once you've exceeded the prior year's points so you're correct on that. Just beware you can't use S/C grade points from this year toward entry in the fall Charlotte S/ST national.

BTW, I don't complain about IHRA; even plan on running some races with them this year.

I'm not sure they keep a tab on this years grade points. After you get the three this year it may be wise to call NHRA, the people in the registration section are some of the nicest people I've ever dealt with.
I'm in the same boat, only 2 total from last year. There is also an average for a certain number of preious years they can revert to.

Grade points are good a year from the event. If you run in July, the grade point you got at that race is good until (through, I think) that same event next year.

Actually, I screwed up, it's the greater of this year's or last year's points.

But Bill you're absolutely right that the competition department folks are very helpful.

Hey, we're all just trying to help. The newer link adds TD and TS to the mix and makes provisional entries a bit clearer.
