If there are no heads up races then it is basically a bracket race. What difference does it make at that point?

You can't enter one car into two NHRA classes for grade points at any event. Pro or Super Pro or Sportsman or High School aren't NHRA grade point classes, they are track classes and you don't earn NHRA grade points for entering them.

The poll is rather confusing, and it wouldn't pertain only to National Open events. You can (where available) at Divisional events enter your car in your regular NHRA class, and also enter it into a bracket/gamblers event within the same event.

No car went 2 seconds under the index in Stock at the Sonoma National Open. A car is legal until proven illegal. No one recevied 2 grade points with one car. Some people entered but did not run in the elininator. Those are the facts
