How many cars would be there? Probably about 60.

I would say there would be near 100 cars in both stock and super stock. I cant remember the exact car counts at the Baby Gators last year but it was close to those numbers. Most would stay for the national if they could get in. so easily 80+ so NHRA is leaving $40,000 on the table by cutting the entries due to the quota. That's figuring 20 cars more in each eliminator and some crew. Now if it was 100 cars per category then double that number.

I just look and there where 103 in stock and 93 in super stock last year at the points race

Stock was either 103 or 107 cars. Jim

Yes Jim, I’ll be at Orlando. Ready and roaring to get back to it Hope you’re all healed and ready to defend you Baby Gator Wally.....

About 5 years ago I got in Super Stock with 3 grade points. Last year I had 6 grade points and could not get in. A long drive from Minnesota for only a points meet. To bad, it’s been fun to get out of the cold and snow and race earlier in the year. Around here the season doesn’t start until the middle of May if we are lucky.

Chip, old boy, what have you been smoking! 6 National Opens! Division 2 hasn't had a "National Open" since 2009. It was held at SGMP and I won Stock. Also D2 had 6 "points" races per year for as long as I can remember. There are 6 Points Races scheduled for 2020. That is all, no National Opens scheduled. You must be thinking of D1. Jim

Jim D2 has three doubles and a single National Open this year. Yes they are eighth mile and yes they are a pretty good trip for you to make, but they are National Opens and they do get you grade points.

I stand corrected! I didn't think the 1/8 mile races were for grade points. Jim
