I suspect there is the rest of the story. Like the TV schedule. It seems NHRA is infatuated with the Tv schedule although I am not sure who is paying whom to show the show on tv NHRA paying or the tv paying ??? I do know at the Vegas strip the reason the quota is so low is according to the track, NHRA is concerned about the "schedule"" live ??? The vegas track can handle around 800 cars and Jeff Foster the best track manager around
can get this done in a very timely fashion can handle around 800 cars time trials, The reasons the Vegas track has low quota is because of TV I think

Let’s not give them any ideas. Hard enough to get in them anyway, and the fees to get in points meets is getting outta control. Wish I didn’t love class racing so much.

My close friend Charles Norton stated it so eloquently years and years ago. WE HAVE OUTLIVED OUR USEFULNESS ......Myself, I am slowly pulling the needle out of my arm. At my age, I don’t need the NHRA BS ........

I have been a spectator since I sold my S/G car and I ran S/ST before that. Watching those two classes and S/C is boring to say the least. The spectators just don't relate to the throttle stop coming on and off.
That's why I'm building a new stock eliminator car. Hopefully the spectators will prefer to watch my '67 Shelby GT500 race a '69 Camaro heads up in A or B than two cars that shut off and coast to half track and hopefully NHRA will notice also.
