Stage the Car?

I was at Numidia this year for the National Open and the Divisional in July, I had signed up for both online and filled out both my tech cards online. Unfortunately on Thursday morning at the track during a test run I broke a rocker, bent a valve and caused some minor damage to the head. We packed up the car and got to Ray Barton's shop shortly after, pulled the engine, they repaired everything needed and we got the engine back in the car the next morning and were back at the track Friday evening. We missed making a qualifying or elimination pass for the National Open, but raced on Saturday and Sunday for the divisional.

Everyone I spoke with told me I should still get 2 grade points since I was there and filled out a tech card and paid for both races even though I was unable to make a pass for the national open, but after the fact when I looked I was only given 1 grade point for the weekend.

I've emailed the division office about it twice explaining what happened and asking whether I was entitled to 1 or 2 grade points, but have not received a response from them either time.
