Ok, since NHRA lets them in even with a full quota anyway, why make them wait?
Seems simple, just let them enter anytime and have it not count against the tally.

NHRA only wants the amount of cars on the quota, so when provisionals go in early, there can't be any bounce ins unless the quota drops below cars called for. So if there are withdrawals NHRA still hovers around the number of cars posted. For people wanting to get in because of withdrawals, the provisionals should be curtious to hold off till last call. They don't have to, they earned their spot, but it would be nice.

All of this is good discussion.
The driving force in Quotas if multi faceted.
All the Things that have been mentioned before, space, Pro's, Ect.
Then there is participation at Divisional events. The biggie! These events are a commodity that NHRA sells. They are forcing racers to attend the divisional races for "Grade Points" That automatically makes the Divisional race worth more as a sellable product.. NHRA guarantee of XXX cars (consisting of the NHRA member cars in Each division).
The buying track owner can be pretty sure he will get XX number of the XXX division members. That gives him confidence he will have Racers to make a profit off his investment... Like they say.. follow the money.
