By contrast eighty SuperStockers takes just a few minutes to run, i'd swap an extra hundred SS cars for a hundred less SC ones. |

The total allowable entry for NON Pro's is 328 and includes 28 Pro-Mods With the gate opening for parking 6 days before the event completion and 2 days of registration & tech.... AND With 4, count them 4, days of racing they couldn't run more than 328 NON-PRO's........The problem is the dog and pony show that we now call NHRA putting their PRO's on TV..... Plus the TV show is a piece of crap with nothing but Force & friends running their mouths off.... I feel better now....... I just needed some dragons to slay and a windmill to tilt at, except that I do believe that NHRA is a real threat to Drag Racing....... Bob

Re: NHRA Stikes Again................
A interesting fact 70 % of the Super Stock entries are out of the division.
It seems like a lot of Division 7 cars are locked out entering their home national event .

Not sure what to do about it though, especially out here . For instance, Phoenix is in Div 7, but NM is Div 5, but only a few hours away. I'm sure if we put a few smart guys in a room, they could figure out a fairer deal. Of course, they'd have to be volunteers..NHRA doesn't have the budget for it, apparently.

Re: NHRA Stikes Again................
One more pair, per eliminator. going from 80 to 100 car quota.. I think that's right.

Re: NHRA Stikes Again................
Three hours? We run 400 cars, including dragsters, in less time.

Just to give you some insight.................... 65 cars or 128 cars take the same amount of rounds and that would be 7.... We would still have the exact same amount of filler rounds for the PRO show on Sunday....... If ALL of the Sportsman Category Classes had been capped at 128 it would still take the same amount of rounds....... The only difference, and I mean only, is that the first round of the eliminator would be run by 128 cars and not 75..... How long does it take to run 20 pairs of Sportsman during the qualifying?????????? Maybe Class runs would take a little longer because of those pesky HEADS-UP runs?????????????? Bob PS: Remember when a Divisional Race included Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock and 7 or 8 qualifying hits and that got done in 2 days...... What happened was .90 classes with 400 entries, bracket motorcycles, snowmobiles & golf carts at the Divisional Races.....

Re: NHRA Stikes Again................
Don't forget the Jr. Dragsters, Top Dragster, Top Sportsman, numerous SC/SG/SST shootouts, and various other exhibition classes. It all adds up! How about the 10.00, 11.00, 12.00, 13.00 index cars from a couple of years ago...are those still around?

Re: NHRA Stikes Again................
I have been a grandstand yeller since I was a little kid and now 53 years old I just bought a Stock Eliminator Car with no engine to complete one item off of my bucket list. All of this NHRA BS I have been reading really makes a guy feel good about spending the money it takes to get out there and do this. Someone needs to pull the heads out of the NHRA 's rear-ends and smell the roses here. I have always wondered why people just didn't boycott the NHRA and see what happens from there. Im still spending money to get the car finished just not to sure where Im going to run it at.
