For the last 2 years, the quota for Stock and Super Stock was 200, why should this year be any different?
With only 1 grade pt they knew they were taking a chance of possibly not getting in. I know the quota has been 200 before but it's also been at 180 several other years. The guys that said it's a money grab by NHRA are exactly right. By opening up another 20 spots you're putting 20 more guys on the outside looking in and making the week that much worse for them too.
