another crazy idea for NHRA

The reason the number of cars allowed to enter is limited per event is because of pit space. There was a time when over a thousand cars entered The Nationals at Indianapolis. Back then racers either drove their race cars to the track, tow barred their race cars or pulled them on an open trailer. Today the pits are full because of gigantic motor homes pulling tri-axle trailers and thats just for the Sportsman racers. The Pro pits with their multiple tractor trailer rigs per team take up what used to be shared with Sportsman racers. Limiting the number of race cars per event was the only answer to lack of pit space caused by huge rigs.
