It is not just the pit space, it is the time it takes to get the cars down the track, at least this is what NHRA has told me in the past.
If you were old enough to have gone to Indy in the late sixties watching most of the cars in time trials was like standing next to a busy Interstate one car quickly behind the other. No water burnout and no burnouts past the starting line for most cars.
They would not wait very long for one pair of cars to cross the finish line before they sent another pair.
Of course if you walked through the pits it was mostly passenger cars, pickups and open trailers.
