I disagree we there could be A big Go east and A big Go of The West > I even suspect that a sportsman racer could know of or have a contact to sponsor the Big Go Of the West. The Big Shoot out of the West at Vegas

I have been dreaming of this type of event for years.. Only draw back is we would probably need 8 grade points or better to enter.

NHRA is consistently cutting back on sportsman quota at the national events. They have almost no tech or tear down either. this is a bad thing that is going on now. There are lots of racers that would like to attend national events that cant get in any more because the quota is so low. The gators is running class and they only are letting 65 cars. There is over a hundred super stock classes so there might not be many class run offs. NHRA is out of touch with the racers. Your idea is a great one and I wish it could happen. Maybe do it at the divisional.

Maybe limit entry to say only cars from Divisions 4-5-6-7 first ----if it does not fill up then let any racers from any division the chance to enter until it is full make the "quotas" realistic too--- OR--- ALL run first round til you get to a 64 car field---good or bad idea?? FED 387
