Continuing the quota discussion

Unfortunately one problem I see is the withdrawal of racers at the last minute. The reason this is a problem is NHRA sets quotas based on previous attendance. Many times I see stock and super stock not at quota on the last day of entry because of all the withdrawals. It is a never ending downward spiral for quotas.

Only solutions I see is no refunds for withdrawals (sucks if you break your car). Hot rod drag week is a $400 pre entry and if you withdrawal no money back. Many big dollar bracket races are the same way.

alternate Change withdrawal dates. Make it 3 weeks before event or you do not get money back, so there will be time for others to change schedule so they can take off work and enter.

I would also like to see pit spaces assigned by amount of grade points. This way racers do not have to take off a whole week to get in line for stacking on monday to race on friday, especially since there is no thursday tech
