Yep, if you are pre-committed (NTPA) then if your class is competing, you are to be there (it gets tricky sometimes, like I'm here, but broke and can't hook....) . You can run anywhere you want, just not on the days your class is scheduled. There are some exceptions that can be granted (severe breakage, death in family, etc), but these have some time limits and reporting requirements

But, if you are so chicken to put your name on your comments, why do you have a right to complain on here. I just wonder how much face to face the original poster had with this "poor" engine builder? As stated above, there is legal recourse in the courts. First motor I ever built myself never even made it out of the garage--threw a rod out the side of the block. Took the pieces back to the ma

So Jake, are you saying that the new Divisional Committee is not working at the NTPA? The Committee is made up of the class pullers who are reps for the members of the class.

It is a little different for some of the Regional qualifiers. Also, if you miss an GN hook, you can just about kiss an Enderle appearance "goodbye". JW

This guarantees the promoter up to 10 vehicles for that class. The NTPA uses this as a selling point. Th

Exactly, these competitors and more are ELIGIBLE for the precommit program. The list that Philip posted is only the top 10 (in some classes, not even that). Some of teh classes have 13 or 14 eligible. Don't expect everyone in the top 10 to sign up for the program once a secure schedule is announced. Competitor signed contracts don't have to be back for a few more days yet. Then Gre

However, we (NTPA and GN competitors) were warned, or advised, to be prepared for that type of instance well before the season started and were advised on how to make the process go easier as far as getting across the border even if there was a past indiscretion on anyone's part. Those that failed to take that advice were the ones who "suffered". Had the proper preparation been taken, any

I am telling you--call C&P Machine in Fort Wayne Indiana. They do the JD cranks for a lot of the big name aftermarket JD builders. 260-484-7723 ask for Ed or Phil.
