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

Let's just put your firestorm out. Think, the pro's only use the motorhome for sleeping (very few have young families, when they do they're in the pits) and the sportsmen are mostly families - put them outside? I think not. How about moving some of the "hospitality" ares outside? That'll free up quite a bit of space.

SS 3718. That's funny, when I went to the Gators or The Southerns when we had over 100 entries in Stock the races were completed in plenty of time. But with low quotas, they can't get it done. BS. Only weather or oil downs slowed the show. Heck, they even have escorts with sirens to get the pros back to their pit areas to save their precious TV time.

Want to hear a good joke, some race tracks have four lanes and low quotas.

How many years ago was that? Not arguing but unfortunately that is not how it is today!

Want to hear a better joke, one of the races I went to last year had four lanes, low quotas, and we still ended up behind schedule and finishing the last couple rounds after the Pros were finished on Saturday night!

Based on the time it takes to complete races in the current state, I’m glad they have quotas!

Guys Nhra is killing pro stock slowly or as fast as legally possible
They just killed of The Hemi Challenge
They have room at most track we can agree on that
But. We Are Filler. Not The show. They only car about spectator $$$$
We are not there concern It’s 2018 it’s about Facebook and internet traffic
By the way I have Grade 8 and didn’t get in
PS. Billy hold a race outside of Gainesville.them cops are so big And intimidating looking I try not to look at them when pulling in. They mean business

SS3718, probably about 4 years ago at the Gators and 8 years at Atlanta. I guess things have changed dramatically. Still though, with large fields the races were still completed in time. Their remedy is probably 1st round goes out at 6:00 AM instead of 8:00

Yes, your joke is better. Actually sounds like an embarrassment.

So what is taking up all the time that quotas have to be lowered.

Bingo, James you are correct. BTW, all the big cops are at the race, the smaller ones are along 301 & 24 in Waldo handing out tickets, with the same explanation "If you were going about two mile an hour less I would've given you a warning".

U/SA we don't need no stinkin quotas.

I have known a lot of business plans in my life time and one of them is when a business is making a lot of money and has a lot of customers they then start to raise their prices and start limiting the amount of work load as they still maintain their bottom line UNTIl the customer base dries up and the cost to be their customers is no longer a value > The business wakes up and says what happened to all our customers??? we were so great in our business design ,Then almost immediately new decision makers are brought in to make big changes without experience in this business then the demise starts (just some thoughts)
This happens all the time in big businesses and as sad as it is most of the decision makers fail to see the reasons their company is no longer what it used to be and so the older decision makers retire
