Stock & SS in Denver

[jmcarter]

Look for the Super Comp quota to be bumped up shortly....that's the only full field, only 252 total entries right now for ALL classes with 80 of those the 8.90 cars, maybe they will take the 'hint' and improve the pits. No offense to my .90 brothers and sisters but I don't think I could handle seeing 140 S/C dragsters run.

That Mopar party,,,,,,,yeah I remember that, hell everybody went regardless of what you drove. They would hand you a sheet to fill out telling what kind of a Mopar you had. One year I was driving an R/SA '61 DeSoto station wagon!

For the Bandimere's sake I hope you're right Lane, but with only 29 Stockers, and 16 Super Stockers (with less than 36hrs left for the entry deadline), I'm not so sure about that (especially your Super Stock guess)? I'm getting more amused by the hour given the total field is only 60.4 percent of quota as of 1:16am pst Sunday morning...hopefully this will mean that no one will have to park in that dreaded North 40!

Only Funny Car, Pro Stock Motorcycle, and Super Comp are even close to their quotas, which is really amusing...I wonder why that is...could it be due to the current fuel prices, and that wonderfully enhanced entry fee? I'm sure they both helped. Location? Ditto. North 40? Wouldn't be surprised in the least! Oh and last but not the least, the enhanced altitude correction factor, and it's effect on Super Stock and Stock indexes (following NHRA's reduction last year of our indexes...talk about pouring salt over a wound!!!)? Absolutely!

I know now another reason I'm glad I moved from there...at least at sea level I still can be competitive...that said I can understand why you and Randy aren't racing in it Hawk, but I'm quite surprised that Tony Hernandez (amongst others) aren't in the field...but we still have 35hrs to go, so who knows???

x2 Hawk.

Fortunately my last time there was nearly a history maker (after that race I REALLY DON'T LIKE THE NORTH 40 ANYMORE!), but I thank you Lane (and Randy), for helping me get to the quarters! Just 2rnds away from one of the last times sportsman cars were showcased on "Inside Drag Racing" (while ESPN had the show). Ryan McClanahan and Scott Burton should be honored since they were two of the last Stock/Super Stock racers to get tv coverage like that on ESPN(full final round coverage).....shows how much NHRA truly appreciates us, huh? I'm rather amused with the light entry list (so far), however I'll hold my real thoughts until after the Monday cutoff....
