When did NHRA put quotas on national events and why??

It seems counter intuitive to limit the number of Stock and Super Stock cars since it is a cash cow for NHRA. First and second round runner-ups get sent packing with 0$. The entry fees allow NHRA to give the PRO'S free entry.

Some of the races are limited to 55 cars. DUH. How many bye runs are in a field of 55??????? I am not a math wizard but would it not be 3?

I attended my first race in 1955 at the Akron, Ohio airport.. Saw the first Green Monster. Ran at Magnolia in 1960 using a flag man. Set first record in 1973. Won first national event in 1977. Is there anyone out there who remembers when drag racing was fun??
