Only 48 Stockers at Epping?!?

The quota was 55 but for some reason only 48 on the Qualifying sheet? Is it wrong or did 7 Stockers back out?

Not to mention I’m pretty certain there’s not a lot of Grade 8’s on the list either.

NHRA gave everyone the option of backing out simply by not showing up due to weather forecast. It's supposed to be showery the next couple of days.

I wish they would have given some the option of filling those spots.
It’s about $2100 in lost revenue to boot just in Stock

i cant believe nhra's S/SS entry quotas @ every national event...WHAT BS. 32 SS cars? simply depriving fans of sportsman entertainment. S/SS r the backbone of drag racing.

So with only 13 TF, 12 FC, Zero PS, 18 PM, there was PLENTY of time for more entries. They chickened out moving pros to 1:00 and "casually" ran Jr's, TF Harley and Stock Class which earlier were contemplating eliminating. Just got it in as the drops began.
