Re: How will an Accountant feel with the less entries to eve
If I were 'KING For A Day' idea, what's the problem with offering 80 or more entries for a 64 car qualified field at a National event? Win, win, win !
NHRA, send me my cut via direct transfer, I'll get the account number to ya, thx.

Bernie,
What is wrong is someone would have to work & be responsible for the field being correct. Good idea for qualifying the field 64 cars from 80+!!

The way NHRA is set up, they're kinda like Unicef or The Clinton Foundation. They take our monies under the premise of keeping racing off of the streets and giving us a safe place to race. They run a couple of "keep the kids off the streets" races a year to fulfill their "not-for-profit" deal and spend the rest of our monies paying their salaries.

Re: How will an Accountant feel with the less entries to eve
I am not really sure what has happened to make the program run at such a slow pace at the national events these days. Back when I started racing 40 years ago all of the classes were run on Sunday with the full fields of 64 cars. TF, FC, TAD. TAFC,PSM, comp, Modified, SS and stock. This was also with a 5 bulb tree. Why is it now they have to get all of the classes down to the final 4 in sportsman so they can get the program done. Is it the TV time that has slowed the program down? The TV is not actually live coverage as they claim it to be. Maybe its because there is more classes. No more modified and comp has very few cars. The addition of the SC, SG, TD and TS plus PM might be slowing the program. I think the low car counts in the pro classes and the lack of quality sportsman racing on Saturday and Sundays at the nationals is leaving the fans feeling short changed for the cost of the gate fee
