Apparently they’re going to keep us on our toes…

P.S. Pomona is going to fill fast…opened for Grade 8’s yesterday.

How do the quotas announced compare to previous years? More, less the same?
Thanks!

To me it looks pretty much the same numbers for Pomona, didn't have Phoenix last year but, seeing 60 Super Street is a big surprise. Normally they are around 40 cars for the quota but, looks the same to me.

I kept a copy of the 2019 Quotas (didn’t save the 20/21 for obvious reasons) and Pomona actually had a lower quota of 60 that year. Higher quota for Pomona and the unusually high Super Street number for Phoenix seems odd but perhaps they are trying to make up for the low number of Divisional races. Releasing the quotas piecemeal seems odd but hard to say what normal even is any more.

The quotes need to be 65 or better for a National event to keep from having a 21 point round for the winner of a six round race. If it’s a six round race points need to be 95 winner, 84 R/U and so on. Ten points per round until the odd points rounds.

Here are the 2021 quotas.

Apparently they now “know” enough to release the Gainesville numbers…not sure I can fathom the logic.

I'm very surprised to see that Pomona is nowhere near full in any class yet.

Am I the only one that finds it odd that Vegas 2 has only 60 cars per class, compared with Vegas 1? You would think with guys trying to make a late season charge for the points, that Vegas 2 would be at least as high a quota, if not higher. Same amount of pit space in October as there is in April. As for Gainesville, I have only been there once, in 2004, and at that event there were over 128 cars each in Stock and S/S, now they only let less than half that ?

Couple thoughts would be that the bracket final program is at Vegas 2, occupying some pit space.

A more likely reason is that anyone with a chance at a national top 10 is allowed into the final few events, which will potentially add a lot more cars beyond quota than the first event would see.
