FS cars exempt from HP?

We know that. It's the only race NHRA will TAKE more than 90-100 cars; hence it is the only true 'qualifying with a bump spot' field of the year. 1996 when I was at Maple Grove for the Keystones, 126 S/S cars showed (I don't know how may pre-entered); this year I think they only took 65. Divisional races are also a 128 car field, max, but anymore, 100-110 are the most that show, so they too become all-run. 15 years ago or so, I ran at more than one Div'l race that had DNQ's (Indy, E-town, Reading LODRS events). The Grove had 150-160 in 2005 or '06 when they ran a double race (made up a rained out Open and the regularly scheduled LODRS on the same weekend).
