I arrive at events as late as anybody. I have never been denied the opportunity to race because I didn't spend days in stacking.

I would say top to bottom all of the racers with provisional entries try to enter after the field is full. Very few forget and enter before that final Monday the week of the race. So in effect the racers with provisional entries are not counted until the quota is full. Hats off to former World Champs, top ten in national points, last years race winner, and divisional champs for waiting to enter .

Larry, This is from the NHRA website. No one can enter after the field is closed.

Provisional entries must enter the event online at www.nhraeventreg.com
prior to the deadline date/time (1:00 PM
Pacific time Monday of race week). Provisional entries WILL NOT be
accepted after the event deadline date/time. A provisional driver that enters an event and then withdraws, will NOT be allowed to re-enter.

I think what Larry meant was that provisionals are usually nice about letting the quota fill before they enter so their entries don't affect the car count. They still get their entries in before the deadline, just after the quota got filled.

Dan I changed closed to full. How I wrote it was incorrect thanks for the correction.

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.

I agree.

I agree also, I know of a couple times when someone waited till the last day and forgot until it was too late. Right Dan Fletcher lol?
