"Affect the car count at both races" ??
This year in Stock at Belle Rose there were 87 cars....at the INRA "National" there were 28 cars !!
Of those 28 in Stock I'd say there are at least 10 that will go to Belle Rose.
In Super Stock--70 at Beller Rose........16 at the IHRA "National event......of those 16 I'd say at least 5 will go to Belle Rose. IHRA will suffer badly in car count.....Belle Rose will be GREAT............

No doubt NHRA will be the bigger venue, especially @ Sportsnationals for Stock & Super Stock. IMOP, two national events on the same weekend that close to one another has to affect each other. Have fun in the bayou!

Does San Antonio have a bar on the starting line area? Maybe Todd can persuade Mi Tierras to bring some frozen drinks to San Antonio to help the IHRA count....!
