Looking for spot in Stock at LV Nationals

[c's70-1/2 Z28]

We haven't been able to travel this year for several reasons, ie death in family..... & of course, gas prices & the rest of the economy doesn't help anyone! Have never been to Firebird International to race...I believe Vegas is the farthest we've gone.....gotta stick around to run the business most of the time. Anyway, if you hear of someone dropping out in Stock let us know.....Thanks again. (& we are checking quota everyday, several times a day....guess we might have a chance of getting in at the last minute....)

The entries can go "over quota" when ex-champs and those in contention for good points finishes enter. That's why Toby indicated in another thread that he waits before entering, which he can do because of his points position (and good sportsmanship). Also, you've got to have entry grade points equal to the points it took when the field initially filled. Somebody else may have been tracking that or you can simply send an email to NHRA (use the "contact NHRA" link in the registration screen) and they will tell you how many points are needed should withdrawals open up spots.

Thanks for that clarification Tony, I didn't know but figured somebody did.

Wish everyone would put real names or signatures in their threads, don't mind helping but nice to know who's asking.

1st, I want to say thanks for all the input, & that's great that Toby holds back so others can sign up..... (I've sent him reply about acknowledging our post- I hear he's a nice guy). Mike is at a Grade 5 (tho very few points this year), & we've contacted NHRA plus our division 6 director. They're all saying to really start checking on Sunday & Monday prior to the event for people dropping out. Hopefully for us, it'll work out.

Also, we appreciate the racers that are way up there in points, etc! They've all earned them! (Didn't mean to sound like they don't deserve getting in ahead of us...)

Sorry to hear/read about the love one you lost this year, and I hope you and yours are ok?
