St. Louis stock withdrawal

I'm sharing something I recently learned from my friends at the NHRA. When someone withdraws from a National Event, the spot cannot be "claimed" by anyone in particular. If you watch the entrant count and see it go below the limit, you can try entering quickly, but there is no guarantee that THAT spot will go to you. Also, if someone with a Gold Card (or whatever it's actually called nowadays) wants a spot, these folks can essentially enter at any time, regardless of the entrant limit in a category (e.g. if Super Stock is limited to 60 entrants, a cardholder will not be turned away, and can become entrant number 61). The advice I was given was to be ready mid-morning Monday on the week of the event you want to get into, because there will virtually always be people who will drop-out, and if you're johnny-on-the-spot, you can quickly enter and grab the now-open spot.
