More importantly, the total field size percentage only increased .4% to 60.8% of their quota. Thus the clock is ticking, and the 24hr glass is nearly drained an hour, so these next 23 will definitely be interesting???

I wish you could attend the race, because with that new paint job you got, your car would be one of the coolest ones out there! I wish you well with that new cam...I hope I'll be able to change mine in the forseeable future too? Take care Hawk!

What do you mean the clock is ticking? If time runs out do you think their going to offer buy backs and call in the monster trucks? You're just being funny now.

However, since we're talking about Denver's big race, that's what I'm looking forward to being online for (within the next 24hrs.), to see if any more racers enter (besides Randy Hyman), and how many others will increase that total field size percentage from what it was last night?

Now as for the PT Cruiser, I'm not sure why NHRA even let that vehicle race in DF/S...it had a turbo charged engine, and I checked the classification guide for that year and model of vehicle (with it's engine options), and the turbo charged engine didn't have the high enough weight to hp factor to allow it to supposedly run in DF/S...only the non-turboed engine was factored for DF/S...so NHRA dropped the ball on that one, and whoever was the No. 2 qualifier got robbed, because they may have been No. 1 if those guys would've checked their posted info, realized that vehicle didn't belong in that class with that engine set-up, and put it where it belonged (in either AF/S, or BF/S).

I agree,it has a weight break of 17.42 for the 146/180, which makes it a natural B car. No way it gets to D from there! Up or down ONE!

I'm being funny? Your quote has me LMAO!!! Well guess what? The time has run out (1pm pst...deadline for entry for this race), and I noticed (other than the entry list expanding only 2.5%), that one of the Pro Stockers bowed out, so all who attend will live to run on race day! Now I'll be interested to find out if all of the attendees (Sportsman racers that is), will be able to avoid being stuck in the north 40? One can only hope...however those who will be there, I hope it will be their choice and not a mandate?

Well let's see...a five round race with several bye runs in Super Stock, and a six rounder with three of them in Stock....drc's going to look very interesting this week!

Thanks for the great laugh Harry...that was a good one!

Denver by the numbers comparison Stock 2010, 41 entries, 2011 36. Super Stock 2010 25, 2011 23. The pros were about the same. Pro Stock lost 6 2010 22, 2011 16. Pro Stock Bike gain 5 2010 17, 2011 22. Total entries 2010 313. 2011 286. In 2010 there was no Comp but there was Super Street, 57 entries. In 2011 no Super Street but there were 18 entries in Comp Both Super Comp and Super Gas had more entries in 2011 than 2010. In 2010 63.1% of quota, 2011 63.3% of quota.

Hi Boys,

I never post except to correct a lie, and Art generally corrects the mistakes for me. The 2004 PT Cruiser was rated at 180 hp before 9/8/2010. It was at 18.00lbs per horsepower which is a natural CF/S which of course could run DF/S or BF/S at the time. No one got robbed and it was 100% legal for what it did. PERIOD!

Be happy, I got 6 hp and .45 index hit!

Wait til you see the next car!

Cabway is correct. Prior to the refactoring after the 2010 Indy race, the PT cruiser in question was listed in the Class Guide at 18.00 @ 180 horsepower. I know this because I have started saving some of the old info instead of changing/deleting the data everytime new horsepowers come out.

The Class Guide data is now only on computer and not in print on paper. It can be printed out but you have to do it yourself. Those who do have older Class Guide books may want to hold on to them as that is part of recorded history that gets questioned every now and then.
