2016 NHRA National Events Quotas

[Casey Miles]

Good luck getting grade points if you live in south Florida. The closest NHRA track from my house is 310 miles, the next is 550 miles. NHRA has lost Florida, I'm surprised that they will still have a points race at Gainesville. Why go if you can't race at any national events.

You know, there was a time when Division 2 was for all intents and purposes the Florida division. All the races except the Bristol national event were in Florida or Georgia, and all Atlanta or south of there. If you lived in Tennessee, North Carolina, or South Carolina, you were pretty much screwed. Not only did you live in Division 2, you lived in a state that did not have a Division 2 event, and you had to spend most of the month of March in Florida in order to compete in your home division.

It seems all they (NHRA) know how to do is go from one extreme to the other. I'll never understand it.

As I read it, the "n/a" indicates that there is no longer a quota established or dictated for those categories.

If My Math Is Correct 55 car fields also are only 5 round races with a bye round 1 and at 7 cars Math is not my strongest point

Where do they come up with these numbers? Why not 64 ?

Agreed. 64 would seem to make the most sense for both stock and superstock.

Provisional entries, World Champs, event winners, etc can enter after filled quota, so there's no telling what the final count will be, under the current system.
How about the Fall Vegas race? Over 100 cars in stock ,last two years. Filled with 2 GP's

??? Where did they get these quotas?

I'm glad nobody complained about why the Mile High Nationals is only allowing 45 stockers, and 45 Super Stockers there this year, because all they have to do is look at last years final qualifying lists to see that in stock there was only 34 vehicles listed in that category....of which "8" of those racers were from outside D5!!!! Super Stock was much worse as only 16 racers filled that field, and "2" of them were non-D5 racers!!!! With stats like those, I'm surprised NHRA hasn't reduced the Stock and Super Stock Field sizes down to 35 each!

So far for this years race there's only "3" Super Stockers, and "4" (including me) Stockers entered into the field (Grade 4 racers could enter as of yesterday). It's going to be interesting to see just how many more enter both categories (especially since non of us entered thus-far are D5 area racers)!!??
