NHRA Nat`l event Quotas

Moving to SS from Stock is not a solution for many. Not just a decision of which class to put on the tech card. If you are a 10 lb or better stocker you likely need a cage to move to SS. For some in Stock there is no SS class. For Rory that is not the case with an M/S but he will likely need to be a 1+ under car to run the SS/M index depending on the S vs SS Hp factor. Throw in the possible summer heat and running the index would be tough for most.
As someone pointed out, with gas prices, it may not be a tough in the future to get into Nats.

I know the Sportsman Council is working on getting ALL the classes back at each National Event..........give it time.

We sent that to NHRA early on. I will check the status and post it back here. Probably be next week.

The low car counts for pre entries are pretty similar for the Mile Highs in Denver in two weeks. With only 11 days to the cutoff day for getting into the Denver event,Stock is only at 78%,Super Stock is only at 43%(60 car max in both),and Comp is at 47% as well(40 car max). Hell,even Pro Stock Bike isn`t even full yet! It would be nice to see all cars eligible to run each Nat`l Event again,some Divisions,like the ones in the west are so spread out,it`s just doesn`t make sense to travel that far for for a Nat`l or even a Divisional race. Let us know Jeff.
