I can not agree that Stock and Super Stock are the main entry payers.
Just take a look at the entry numbers from any of the Division or National Events and you will find there are many more Super Comp and Super Gas entries. Facts are Facts.
I do agree that the Top Sportsman and Top Dragsters entries should not get special treatment. You are right there are no National Champions and are just fast bracket cars competing. I really do not think they should get special parking with a special spot that may not even be filled when none of them show up for the race.
At the Division 5 races last year the Top Sportsman and Top Dragsters had reserved pit spots. Usually 20 to 30 prime pit spots were saved for them. I witnessed the fact that usually no more than 20 of those spots were used. The other prime spots sat empty with spectators parking in them at some of the events. That did not leave a very good feeling for the 2 categories with the other sportsman racers. I know some of the people running Top Sportsman and Top Dragster and they feel they are entitled to a better pit spot if they have a fast car. Some say they need it because their car is low to the ground and need a good flat spot. That may be true but, special treatment for some classes just causes discontent in the others.
