NHRA could impose a specified parking size per entry to allow more entries for the race. Just an Idea and observation!

There is plenty of room in the pits at the Gators. Last year with out any officials parking the rigs racers took as much room as they could for their pit area. If there was a more efficient use of the pit area there would be more than enough room for more sportsman competitors. If racers took the minimum instead if the maximum pit space there would be room for everyone. There should be no motor homes of campers in the pit area that are not tow rigs. The manufacture midway and circus should be located in a better spot for access from both sides of the grand stands. There is a real nice pit spot at the finish line in the pine trees that used to be premium pit parking for racers. Now they have spectator campers and Barbeques set up there. There is also a ton of room at the go cart track. Its a little far to staging. We parked there last year for the points race and moved up for the gators when the others pulled out.
