Run class at divisional events and ”Alla / kazam” no more need for a Low car quota at National Events.. and a good reason to go to divisional events besides “GRADE POINTS “. I don't know but it looks like an idea.. ?

I've said it before: What is the sense of running class with such low quotas and/or car count. Was it meant to be an 'insentive' for entries or just misplaced priorities and $$$?

The numbers posted on the FS1 broadcast yesterday showed a Density Altitude of over 9000 feet! Are numbers like that why folks don't go there?

Not everyone wants to install oxygen systems in their cars. You can not fly an airplane above 10,000 feet legally without an oxygen system.

No, 9000 isn’t as bad as it can get, fairly easy tow, picturesque settings,lots to do in area, great eating places near track, wonderful owners, linear pits although tight, same for many years, sloped staging

You accept the altitude

My guess and for me, after racing at many tracks, Bandimere’s dirt/asphalt shavings pits so far from the action is just too much to endure as one ages

I’ve had 2 wins and 2 ru there, you’d think it would be a priority race....no

Was looking for the ladder and see they are getting a fourth Q this morning. Winning combo just how many runs does Bagley get to make? LOL. Seven runs before eliminations, has to be a record for non-Indy National event.

When Topeka first opened we had 5 time sessions, one on Sunday morning (race day)

Coming from the West I 70 sucks for towing over the hill, but with limited tracks, we don't have much of a choice..

My PerformAire read 10,350' yesterday. Today will be at least 10 degrees cooler.

Agreed 100%,a good place to start would be Brainerd seeing the points meet is a week before the National.NHRA would still get 60 cars at the National regardless.I see your trying to get in,hope you can. gsa612
