Why is this so hard, you all know NHRA could care less about this issue. The word on the street is all national events next year mins INDY are going to be limited to 60 car fields this way all sportsman classes will be 6 round or less, this will help NHRA save on time, staffing and the points issue east coast guys bring up all the time.

Don't worry there are more enhancements coming over the next 4 months.
Charley You are right
come out West and see how many Points races you can go to within 400 miles one way of where ever you live is one problem.
we don't have very many tracks close together like those racers back east. There are many racers who for some reason beyond their control could not go the 800 mile round trip to get Points,
The racers did not get the memo that the entry list at Vegas was going to be cut big time > Vegas Historically can handle many more cars in the Pits and the important financial deal is the amount of Money Burton Smith is going to loose on the Points race because no one wants to go for one race they want to go to the national event then the points race , I am not 100% sure but i just bet there are at least 60 % less race tracks out here in the west
