Wondering if NHRA is going to expand the SS field ......a lot of talk from racers at Etown how they missed the cutoff for this class race

Mike Crutchfield was able to get that done at the Gators a couple of years ago. A lot of the local division guys e-mailed our new division director and Mike talked to him as well. He raised the quota by about 15 cars as I remember. It is possible. Contact your division director and let him hear about it. NHRA wont just do it on their own.

last year , they had 100 stocker.then it rained and park was the sh1t's(although I had a great spot).maybe that is why they are only taking 65 cars in SS for class run offs. hopefully this year the weather will be good.

I personally know of at least 10 guys who want into this race, and there are probably another. 15 or so that I don't know about. yes I know I am in but its not right to limit a class race to such a few cars

What seems to be happening is the wizards that that make the desisions go by last years entry. They don't take into effect that last year they didn't run class in superstock.
I was in on the Gainesville thing and I was told that the previous year there were only 50 some odd entries (bad forcast and no class runoffs) So we should have been happy that we got 60 entries. Which closed with a 4 grade point needed. Then when they reopened it they wanted 4 grade points (new rule) Which was changed in a couple of days.
That was the division 2 directors 1st year. And when talked to he seemed to help the racers.
