grading points joliet

We are sponsored by the Rock Island local Plumbers and Pipefittersunion. Our national UA. just became the title rights sponsor to the NHRA Joliet and Englishtown national events and here I sit with no grading points for our super comp team. Would have been good info to have last year. I could hit div. races at Indy, Norwalk and Brainerd before then, any other ideas?

Don

You should be ok to get in with say 2-3 points
I think we are going to see smaller fields this year.

If its like last year if "Who's you know" deal, we had 4 grade points and didnt get in, but a few teams from up there got in with 3 grade points or less cause of "Who they knew"

The SS classes aren't even coming close to filling up, so I would think that a grade pt of 1 may do it for any class. Take a look at the Gators this weekend or the Las Vegas race, which are barely half full for any sportsman category. I hope that my one pt gets me into Joilet and Norwalk for Superstock

Don, do the open at St. Louis and the divsional at Indy. The 2nd wednesday after Indy, ( May6) they allow grade point 2 entries. The only way that Brainerd and Norwalk could help you is if you cant get in with the 2 points because the quota is already filled and it filled at 3 or 4 , with the new rule, that is how many points that would be needed to get in of someone dropped out.
