Having been in event promotion for several years now (let alone a participant for decades), I can say with some certainty that long-range forecasts are completely worthless, even as a form of entertainment. Multiple services don't agree with each other, and over the long-range timespan, a given service ends up not agreeing with its own predictions. Even 5-day forecasts are so-so at best. We've seen 20+ degree swings in a day around here. As the saying goes, "Don't like the weather? Wait five minutes, it'll change."
Since early summer last year, I've been saying 330. I've typically been within 10 cars or so at our big money bracket races. (Drives Anthony nuts!) LOL That being said, typical NHRA events at Columbus draw almost 200 Div. 3 cars alone... if the stars line up, you could see 380 or more. Our last big money bracket race had 399 entries... think y'all can top that?
For those predicting #1 Qualifiers and Q32's... Don't forget, you can find PDF's with the classes and indexes linked near the bottom of
