Indy quota increase

[Steve Polhill]

NHRA is missing out on $14,000 by not opening up the Stock and SS quota's.

Plus thousands of dollars products/services the vendors would be selling.

But how much does their bottom line increase yearly with the added divisional/ grade point races that racers must attend to make the "Big Show"?

Have to look at the big picture here. Lowered quotas only means increased car counts at divisionals and opens $$$$

nhra has worked the numbers and they appear to know how to milk this little show for the most dollars. nhra has mostly eliminated any supervision of Stock and Super Stock which allows the top executives to keep their huge salaries. This is a very nearsighted approach to running the show and will most likely bite them in the end.

Not sure if anyone mentioned this or not but, this year at indy is the first year for Top Dragster and Top Sportsman and they filled up in seconds once it opened and it’s over 40+ in each class, so that extra 20 taken away is that.

Absolutely, but SG and SC only have half the quota met and we are only 2 weeks out from being in line at Indy. that means there are 160 pit spots open for Those that desperately want to go.

If NHRA opened up 20 more sports in both Stock and SS the would be full in a day.

Very true but, unlike Stock & SS, the .90 classes wont make the full quota for the most part and like someone also said we wait till the last minute. The Stock / SS Guy you guys have to be quick draw McGraw when your grade point comes up to enter. I can think of about 25-30 super Gas guys that are going but, just waiting to hand over there money. I entered last night at grade 3. Who knows they may open it up but, with all the set schedule stuff they have now, not sure if they want more cars. Guess time will tell

Problem is that it’s full. Means there are 160 racers that want more of the same treatment! And many in here on the outside that want in. So the folks in charge are not going to change anything.

In case you didn’t notice they really don’t give a damn about the little people racers

Bruce has these great and powerful words on getting together and demanding better treatment. So what is next? What’s the plan?
