Not to pick on index classes but S/C has less than 20 entries for 110 spots! Reduce them to 90 and give us 20 more. The last race that needed 5 Grades to get in, guaranteed, was Indy 2007! I just don't want mid March to come along and be watching half fields going down the track and knowing that NHRA could have done something to help out a class which had a waiting list.

Several of us division 2 super stock racers have asked Rick Shaffer to step in and do just what you are asking for. He has only been the Div 2 director for one season and is a little out of touch with the history of the gatornats and when class was a regular part of the program. Mike Crutchfield our SRAC rep thought that maybe they might open up some spots. I sent Rich an e mail and his response was the quota was low because of the low car count at last years gators plus Atlanta and Charlotte last year were also short car counts. I think they would have had 100 cars. As it stands right now with the guys that are entered there will only be 9 class runs. The rest will be in the combos. Not a very good show seeing how we need the sponsors to get back behind the class competition. Maybe they will do the right thing.
