I have no idea. By the time they start the q runs for FS the sportsman classes are a couple rounds deep into their eliminator rounds and most of these cars are gone off the property. By friday afternoon at most national events half of the sportsman field has been eliminated.
NHRA has done everything they can to kill the sportsman programs. The short quotas and adding bracket classes like TS and TD. Adding Factory Stock Showdown and now this AFX class. This will be another very expensive class with over the line burnouts where they need 5-6 guys at the starting line to fan the doors, adjust the wheelie bars and get the car lined up just to blow the tires off at the drop of the clutch because they are on a small tire There is just too many of these classes now and none are very healthy. Stock and SS are holding their own for now. But we are a dieing too

If we dont get this country back on track politicly then all racing is going to suffer.
