New Rules For Bronze, Silver & Gold Card Holders

This is what it says:

Notice to NHRA Sportsman competitors
11/25/2008

Due to abuses of the policies, pit-parking complications, and pending changes to the online credential system, the following changes will go into effect for all Sportsman categories in 2009:

Provisional entries (Gold, Silver, past season and past event champions) will not be allowed to reenter after withdrawing.

Bronze Card holders will no longer be guaranteed entry. Bronze Card holders must enter prior to the category reaching quota.

Once a category has reached quota, entries will not be accepted if the competitor's grade point is less than when the category reached quota. Example: If a national event reaches its quota at Grade 4, only competitors with a Grade 4 or higher will be able to enter the event, regardless of the number of withdrawals.

Available transfers within the system will automatically be used during the checkout process. Under Payee information, competitors must enter address, Tax ID or Social Security number.

Driver changes will not be accepted.

Gate entries will not be accepted. All provisional entries (Gold, Silver, past event and past season champions) must be completed online by Monday at 1 p.m. PT the week of the event.

 

Does that mean a car owner who enters an event as a driver will no longer be able to exit the seat and put in a driver? Or if a driver falls ill just before an event the car is out? Is that regardless of how many grade points the substituting driver has?

 

Hope you can understand all that and what it means!!! As Obama said about the abortion issue (its above my paygrade).
