I am sure NHRA will have a great plan by the 5th.
In re-reading the article on NHRARacer I see that this issue only effects the Sportsman racer. I assume that the PROS will go in as usual and set up. Is this another way to frustrate the sportsman racers??
Anyway, good luck to all and I hope this situation goes smoothly for everyone.

47 Pro entries, 235 Sportsman entries. Figure three rigs per Pro and an average of 1.5 per Sportsman, so that's 141 and around 353 in terms of vehicles. Vendors would not be be constrained by the restrictions - they relate to the no camping on "Quiet Days" provisions of the use permit. Monday and Tuesday in this case. Vendors don't camp.
The NHRA doesn't hate or wish to frustrate Sportsman racers, but the Pros are the ones who fill the stands and should get preferential parking. This event probably pays the bills for the season's Sportsman and bracket races.
I have hit all of the Lucas Oil races here for the past two years and had my pick of the stands. That's what needs to be fixed to start with and a great show from the Sportsman at the Nationals will help.
