All of the stacking dates and rules have come about because racers local to the event, get in line so early and leave their rigs so that the other racers are at the end of the parking line. While this does not matter at places like Las Vegas, it does matter at some race tracks. I applaud NHRA for setting a schedule ahead of time so EVERYONE has a fair chance at better parking without having to take off an extra week of work. Some tracks still don't follow the parking number/date schedule. Like Denver. Last year I pulled into the track 5 minutes after the opening time for stacking. I was still #77 in line. Denver is a track that it does matter. The cars ahead of me had been there for 2 days, w/o getting the #100 penalty.
