So if there is a car that qualifies with a 12 second pass and then during the points race clicks off a 10 sec time slip then yes there will be a issue with points on that race.

I think you need to assume that all NHRA requirements will be enforced.

Awww Make time to come to this event. Even if you don't race we need to have good representation since we are usually outnumbered 3-1 and plus you could have a good time watching.

if I go, I will race, but if my calendar is full, I can't go. I've already done BBOMG, and Hot Rod Power Tour this year. I booked a hotel for C5F next year (In what I guess will be more or less the same place as this). Too much time off becomes a serious concern for me, that's all, no need to kick me in the nutz over it lol
