For the Bandimere's sake I hope you're right Lane, but with only 29 Stockers, and 16 Super Stockers (with less than 36hrs left for the entry deadline), I'm not so sure about that (especially your Super Stock guess)? I'm getting more amused by the hour given the total field is only 60.4 percent of quota as of 1:16am pst Sunday morning...hopefully this will mean that no one will have to park in that dreaded North 40!
Only Funny Car, Pro Stock Motorcycle, and Super Comp are even close to their quotas, which is really amusing...I wonder why that is...could it be due to the current fuel prices, and that wonderfully enhanced entry fee? I'm sure they both helped. Location? Ditto. North 40? Wouldn't be surprised in the least! Oh and last but not the least, the enhanced altitude correction factor, and it's effect on Super Stock and Stock indexes (following NHRA's reduction last year of our indexes...talk about pouring salt over a wound!!!)? Absolutely!
I know now another reason I'm glad I moved from there...at least at sea level I still can be competitive...that said I can understand why you and Randy aren't racing in it Hawk, but I'm quite surprised that Tony Hernandez (amongst others) aren't in the field...but we still have 35hrs to go, so who knows???
