Why were there so many singles? Where were the alternates???

I asked the same question. I was told that they had gone through all the alternates, evidently, a lot of people had already left to go home.

Back in the day, when we were an alternate, we would sit (with the car) at the back of the staging lanes and wait to see if we could run. Of course, we never did, and then the NHRA guys would tell us to leave because they had all the spots covered.

My how times have changed, back in the 70's when I first started, they would have to kick us out, now folks just leave or choose not to race.
