Stock entries at Indy
 

As I am typing this at 6:30PM Eastern time, there are 115 entries in Stock at Indy. Tomorrow it goes to Grade 6; it is conceivable that Stock will be at the quota of 150 in the next couple of days. Totally insane.

I believe it will be full by tonight, I am not sure if it filled at 6 gradepoints last year

As of now, Stock is almost full and over a hundred entries left in Super Stock.

That seems strange, any reason?

Its not rocket science guys, its pretty simple.

Make a copy of the stk list when it fills up and then compare it to when it closes the Monday before the event. On average 25%-40% of the original entry's are not on the final sheet when an event fills at a grade 6 or above.

Some racers are holding spots for other racers/friends with 1-5 grade points. NHRA really doesn't care about this, because when the event fills up it's creating a demand for more grade points. Which intern makes racers attend 7-8 points meets or national opens (if they can't find someone to hold a spot for them). Its a win for NHRA and a loss for the racer with 1-5 grade points trying to play by the rules.

Ridiculous!, Biggest race of the year. Put the quota back to 180 where it belongs! Was that way for many years and worked out great. I think NHRA is trying to keep the Toyota entries down LOL.

It is just fine at a 150. Worked great last year. Easy to get parked. Plenty of room for everyone, and it wont take 1.second under to qualify.

[QUOTE=Lyn Smith;713974]Lyn, Aren't they moving the sportsman over to the pro side? That should give more room than ever before. I parked one year way down by the turn off when it was at 180. Not much room on that side. As far as 1 second under, I think it will always be close to that to get in. 😁
