WITHDRAWALS/NO-SHOWSTRANFERS
A driver unable to attend an event for which they are entered is requested to officially withdraw from that
event no later than 12 noon Pacific time on Monday preceding the event (provisions for withdrawals are
available at the NHRA online registration web site). Drivers withdrawing within the specified time will have
100% of their entry fee automatically transferred to a subsequent NHRA National Event. A driver failing to
withdraw within the specified timeframe will forfeit all fees paid for the event. Should the same driver fail to
withdraw from a second event within the same racing season, it will be assumed that the driver is no longer
active and as such, all entries for the remainder
of the season will be cancelled and returned (driver may re-enter if time permits and category quota?s have
not been reached). The objective of this policy is an attempt to ascertain accurate car counts for the

Just playing both sides of this. When stacking up GP's for one class, that is the risk you run doing so. Life is a little different for the West Coast so understand the approach needs to be slightly different as well.

Alright, I'll view it through this lens. Risk, is a double factor here. I run the risk of racing one car, which is the depth of my pocket and achieve single point status. While others race two cars for the double point pleasure, I get it.

I choose to race Divisionals, with understood risk, and I'd rather break there or at a National than at a local TNT the weekend before either event. SOME run the risk of any part breakage racing the weekend before a National. It's a matter of preference then. Also, the only difference between the West Coast and wherever you may reside is TIME. Everything else is relatively the same.

I understand the time for withdrawals is Noon, Pacific time, and doubt that will change. So why not leave it open for an Entry, if below quota, until 4-5PM Pacific time?
