EVENT POINTS WAVIER

Top Alcohol Dragster, Top Alcohol Funny Car, Comp, SS, STK, SC, SG, TD, TS, SST, and ETMX competitors at a national, regional or divisional event will have the option to not claim an event for points.  To take advantage of this option, teams will need notify the Division Director prior to the first pair of cars starting for the first qualifying session for their category if they elect to not claim the event points. If the Division Director has not been notified prior to your respective first qualifying session the event will count towards your championship points total. 

For regional or divisional events, whether you elect to claim or not claim the points for the Regional Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series Championship, points will still be earned toward the Jegs Allstars program.
