I hope this isn't the start of the slippery slope 05/15/2009 - 05/17/2009 - NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals Category Quota Entries % Full Top Fuel Dragster 24 16 66.7% Fuel Funny Car 24 17 70.8% Pro Stock 26 23 88.5% Super Stock 80 50 62.5% Stock Eliminator 80 41 51.3% Super Comp 90 78 86.7% Super Gas 90 53 58.9% Event Total 414 278 67.1% Entries closed at 1:00 PM today and this looks like the total amount of entries. Only 91 spots out of a possible 160 in Stock & Super Stock are filled. 131 of the 180 possible 8.90 & 9.90 entries, now that's the real scary part Bob __________________ Bob Mulry 7516 STK

There is also a Division 4 Lucas event at Houston this weekend.
That will keep some of the Division 4 cars away also. Bad Scheduling ! My 2 Cents |

I am really surprised that there are that many Stock and Super Stockers entered at Bristol.I can think of at least 10 reasons why I expected less cars.In no particular order:
1) Norwalk is a big Division 3 race 2) There are no class eliminations in either Stock or Super Stock 3) Bristol is a "slow" track 4) The entry fees have been raised 5) The contingency awards are drastically reduced 6) The economy is not very good (High Unemployment) 7) Gas prices are really starting to climb again! 8) Division 4 race in Houston 9) The AHFS needs rehab 10) It will probably rain Last edited by 442OLDS; 05-11-2009 at 10:20 PM. Reason: of (not off )typo |
