Gainesville

As one of the people on the outside looking in (only 3 grade points) I have been watching the entry list hoping for a cancellation. Watching the list go from 70-75 I guess I need a little help understanding the process. Can someone tell me who the last 5 entries were? I guess 5 former champions could have entered but I need a little help knowing who they are?

A racer that finished in top10 in 2015 can also register after the quota is met.

Makes it kind of hard to finish in the top ten if you can't even enter!

Past event champion can also use a provisional entry.

Its actually very simple
here are some options if you don't want to be on the outside looking in for national events.
The first one is the most hardest of them all be a former world champ

Second have a single digit number Or a 10

Third win a div championship earning you a gold card for the up coming season

And lastly if the first three fail run 5-6 points meets per season.
If you do one of these four things each year you my friend will not have any problems entering for any national events.

Might help some if provisionals enter on the Monday before the race.

David Rampy told me one time that he tries to wait to enter so that others can get in. Not sure just how many others do that though.

Well said Charlie !

Tony I think most racers that have silver or gold cards wait until after the event has filled before they enter. The bigger question is how dose Vic cagnazzi enter a event like Gainesville after it has reached it's quota.
He's not a past world camp
He did not finsh top ten last year
He's does not have a gold card
He's not currently running or owning a pro team

That's the question guys with 3-2 grade points should be asking. Why is this guy allowed to enter after the event was full. I believe Vic only had 3 grade points.

Victor is a past World Champion owner, that's how.
