Stock Eliminator already at quota for E-town

Look at the sportsman pits....EVERYBODY think's they have to have the biggest rig rolling. I race out of a 24 Ft Pace pulled by a dually, which use to be a large overall rig for a sportsman, now it's one of the smallest. None of the tracks (even ones like Atlanta owned by NHRA and remember when Gainesville was one of largest facilities with good pit parking around? ) are going to invest in the infrastructure to support more pits; it just doesn't make economic sense for the 1-2 times a year it becomes an issue. I've been a long time supporter of NHRA and consider myself a glass half-full type of person but there are many indicators that NHRA's business model will move toward minimal sportsman participation at National events, and quota reduction of classses that are staff intensive, like Stock and Super Stock...

My 2 cents...
