I have a question on divisional racing if Mar park is NHRA what determines what division it's in? Is it location or something else? If we run and earn points in what ever division mar is and you are top points car do you go to the nationals with all divisions? How does it work? excuse my ignorance on this.

does anyone know how to cut taxes on a million dollars? first you need the million dollars. before we talk about a nhra divisional race we need a track built. this is not to make fun of anyone but first things come first.

It doesn't have to be mar park any NHRA divisional track. I just want to know how it works. You are a ray of sunshine and obviously you don't read very well you didn't answer my question. Maybe someone with some real knowledge can answer.

If we run and earn points in what ever division mar is and you are top points car do you go to the nationals with all divisions? How does it work? excuse my ignorance on this. Your question is kind of vague to say the least. First off location generally as a rule determines what division you are in MAR would probably end up in division 5 because it's located in MO. That being said Cordova is a Div 5 track although it is located in IL barely but it is. Memphis used to be a Div 2 track but when Div 2 took away their Divisional points race they changed to Div 4, confused?? Join the club, I think the answer that you are looking for is that if you bracket race and you go to the Divisional ET finals which are usually held in Colorado and you win there you then end up going to race at Pomona at the Finals in November. The ET bracket championships are usually attended by a certain number of racers from each track in each class of racing. The division determines the amount of cars each track can bring. You go there and race against the other tracks in your division and if you are fortunate enough to be the last man standing that gets you an invitation to attend the finals in CA. They only have 7 cars racing one from each division in S/P, Pro and Sportsman I believe. But if you're wondering about earning grade points to attend National events such as the US Nationals then that's a totally different issue. For each event you attend you earn a grade point and you need usually at least two(2) grade points to get into a National event.

ya its div -5 location is the determing factor, the easy way to fine out is get a copy on national Dragster it has all the div in it . I hope this helps.. I was a div-7 racer before i moved here and now a div-5 in central mo. the other thing is you can have more than one comp number if you are regesterd in more than one comp class, some racers will only regester in one class, leaving the other class's open with that number which you might have, I know it sounds strange but when you think about it its not so bad. www.buds-motorsports.webs.com/

You can usually tell what division a racer lives in or where he lived when his number was issued by his car number. The first number is the division. My number is 308x. The 3 is for division 3. I live in IL.

I live in IL. There again more confusion. My number is 3526 and I live in MO. Kyle Ficklers number is 6098 and he lives in KS. Mike Vance's number is 335V and he lives in MO but races primarily in D-5 and thats where he claims as his home division. If I thought I was gonna spend more time racing in the Southeast Division I could claim division 2 as my home division for the year. Whatever you claim at your first race of the year is what you declare to be your home division for the year. It's what ever division you sent your license to that determines what number you get. I race d-5 and d-3

And that's what happens to most racers around here. Div. 3 has a lot more races closer to the St. Louis area than Div. 5, so most people register as Div. 3 racers. Unless you are a class racer or really plan on running the bracket finals, it doesn't make much difference what division you register with.

I race d-5 and d-3 I wonder if it makes a difference if you are talking competition number or license number. Mine is just a general competition number. I'm not licensed for 9.99 and quicker. My brother has 2 numbers. A competition number and a Super Comp number.

I have three NHRA competion numbers sg3526 for Super Gas, sc352M for Super Comp and 3526 for Super Street. And my license is for Super Gas/Super Comp. I dont need a license to run Super Street but still have a number for it.
