Points Information & Guidelines

• Points will start to accrue and be earned at the date of sign up and payment.

• No back dating of points is allowed.

• Points are not transferable from one class to another.

• Current NHRA competition or Raceway Park permanent numbers will be required. Temporary numbers will not be valid to participate in the series.

• The competition number that you sign up with for the points series must remain the same at each event or you will not be awarded points for the day. NO EXCEPTIONS!

• Competition numbers must be displayed clearly on the vehicle.

• If your competition number has been inputted incorrectly (you will be able to check this on your time slip) please notify the control tower so this can be corrected and your points will not be impacted.

That's what's up

Hopefully I can have my car ready to actually try and compete in this series

chippinpressure

what happen with atco??

chippinpressure

how come the 11.50 index is not being ran at atco for point series??

E-Town4229

There will still be events at Atco with the 11.50 index. It's easier for the 11.50 racers to focus their efforts on those three races.

This is a completely nonsensical answer.

What is the reason that the Point Series is 5 races for Pro-Stock but only 3 for the 11.50 Index.

You have indicated above that the 11.50 Index class will still run at Atco, so why isn't it being included as part of the Points Series?

If anything, the 11.50 Index Class being an "entry level" heads up class should mean that it is run at all 5 events, therefore affording the most exposure and learning experiences to the newer racers.

At Honda Day, only hondas can run, where at the National Events, you can get any sport compact in there. It would be difficult to have a points series where every make wasnt included in every race.

When and where to sign up?
