Wait until the Monday before the event and you can probably get into all of them with 1.The weather forecast is usually some rain at all of them.

Yes, but the problem there is with the early entry system. Gainesville filled up in an hour ,months ago . Then ends up with openings on Monday of the event.
What is a guy that works for a living in Div 3 gonna do?
Hey, boss. I gotta leave for 10 days...See ya. Then he has to drive 'round the clock to get there?
Also , need to mention..Someone with 8 gp's in Wa. state enters and holds a spot for months...Meanwhile , a part time racer with 4 gp's ,who lives in Ocala can't even race in front of his friends and family.
The whole system is bad ,and needs an overhaul, if NHRA really cared about Sportsman racers...IMO

Well I’m currently tied for 193rd nationally in points. If I can go to enough races to maintain that and jump 10 spots in the standings a year I can win a world championship when I’m about 70 😆

Also going to need to 10x my income to be able to attend enough races - lol

Thanks for all the responses. Always been a dream of mine to race at this level even if it’s in my FWD hunk of **** and to finally be in the staging lanes with so many of you all that I have been watching from in the stands and on NHRA.tv for years. It’s an honor
