It's pretty much the norm to have 10% of the field drop out as the race gets close either due to the car breaking. Car not ready in time or personal issues that may come into play. This year Stock closed at the gators with 5 grade. SS closed at 4. This means the fields were closed at least a month prior to the race. Stock is still over quota at the gators when you count the shoot out cars that were removed from the quota. There was a mad scramble by several racers to get in SS at the last minute. The quota should be adjusted to reflect the average drop out amount.
