And so it starts

Ken and Robin It's not your fault. The most popular class in NHRA racing and they only allow 50 cars. It fills up in 3 minutes. I put the blame on the person in charge of the car quotas for each class. After seeing how fast it filled up you would hope they would have announced and reopened it the next day same deal adding more spots. If you have a grade point of eight you sponsored NHRA on the local level and should have a reasonable chance to enter a National race. If it's a 50 or 63 car field it doesn't change the number of rounds.

Having said that after all the years watching racers swapping out their spot to let another one in. You would think by now they would have had at least the next 10 racers in each class in order they entered but didn't get in on a back up list. Once someone backs out they would go down that list until the spot was filled.

What you and Ken did has been the norm for the last several years. Even if you didn't let Ken know and just dropped out it would not have guaranteed the next one inline would have received your vacant spot. It's long overdue for the person in charge of quotas to have a bystanders list. Lets hope this gets done so we don't have issues like this. BP

This would be the fairest way to do it, Keep going down the list as people drop out.

They can't afford the manpower. They have a skeleton crew out there now.

Why not just eliminate Sewer Gas and that should free up all the space needed for real race cars?

No, drop top sportsman, we are only a couple weeks from the race and they only have 12 entries, plus those guys take way too long in between pairs anyway, but they got their entourage all on the starting line…
