Bob,
You have spent much time and energy on your keyboard describing how NHRA has brought in cars and racers that you believe are not deserving of the national event stage. You have made your distaste and anger with NHRA quite evident. Have you ever approached your class rep or DD or someone upstairs in the Glendora management with your pet peeves?? Kindly share their response to your demand of class respect.

Please explain what you mean???????

To the best of my knowledge the first race that had small & large tires was last week at the Division 7 LODRS at Sonoma, which I believe that you did not attend...

No NHRA class or points required and when I do return home I plan to contact the NHRA directly and not via the internet..

Was there anything that I missed in responding to your post??????

Re: Big Tire & Small Tire Shootouts at National Events

So you are talking about quotas.
Stockers, 47 cars at sonoma, 50 spots available, 3 more spots available, super stock 37 cars there 50 spots available. If my math is right, 16 spots available, bring in other cars

Re: Big Tire & Small Tire Shootouts at National Events

That JUNK just made the Pro tv show. So who is "inviting" them to national events?

Not how it works.
Quotas are set in the beginning of the year. People plan their vacations and summer trips around the schedule.
Sonoma has a Divisional, followed by a National ,every year. It's a considerable distance away from the corners of Div. 7...Lots of racers won't attend the Div. if they can't get in the Nat's.
Sometimes people hurt their race cars on the first weekend , so they end up withdrawing from the Nat's on Monday morning.
Also, I know several racers who aren't active now, because the can't make it to 5-6 Div. races, in order to participate in the Spring and Fall Vegas races.
Sorry, but your math doesn't justify bringing in those heaps to National events.
Not how it works.
Try a different spin.
