What Happened To Competition Eliminator Car Counts?

Look at the stands and starting line area in this video.

Whether you like to admit it or not, "class racing" (in it's current form) will never put fans in the stands. It's just boring and confusing for normal people to watch.

My personal take on Comp is the 'Diversity' NHRA tries to sell for comp has no buyers. Good guys, work hard, and the group is getting smaller each year. Really too bad, but such is life.

I hurt my motor, so I came home to see if I can fix it for eliminations tomorrow

Here is the live feed:.http://new.livestream.com/MotorManiaTV/2014-NoMercyV

I haven't been to a divisional there but today the cars started at the front entry gate and went all the way around to the back gate for the roundy round track. There were another twenty rigs parked on the circle track. The place was packed.

I was up there a couple of years ago and they had over 70 cars trying to qualify for 32 slots. A couple of weeks before Gainesville div had 34 dragster trying for 32 slots in Top dragster. NHRA sent the two dragsters home even though I heard three qualified dragsters broke.They said it would screw up the div points.

. At Ducks race, he added a "B" main with a $1500 pot for the non qualifiers to run for.
That is why the place is packed, he takes care of his racers.
