Bottom line racers,,,,,support these races or QUIT BITCHING!!!

As for the turn out for this race. The majority of NHRA Stock racers would not be allowed at the race so you can not blame them.
Remember this is not stock or super stock never was meant to be never will be. That is their words. There is no pay out (also no entree fee). This class is not for the average or even slightly above average racer. It is only for people that can afford to spend a ton of money and not have to worry about trying to win any of it back.
The only racers you can get on about being there are the ones with the new cars. From what I can tell a good portion of those don't race at all. Does any one happen to know the number of drag packs and Mustangs sold? It seems like a lot. Maybe NITRO Joe can answer this question. How many different drag packs and Mustangs have been raced?
Any way just my opinion but the only relation between this class and stock is most of the cars were originally built to be raced in stock. At least the ones that showed up so far.
