Lack of Sportsman Entries for Denver

[Stocker 2]

Stock had 32 entries, S/S had 21 entries. That is just pathetic.

I bet the guy who entered and won was happy.

I was helping out with one of the 108 Stockers that attended the Division 3 LODRS race at National Trail in Ohio. BTW there were 89 S/S there too.

Never any excuses needed for the turnout in Division 3.

Take into account how many miles are between racers and tracks out west. ALOT. Its less populated in the wild wild west, which probably explains lower counts as opposed to denser populated areas like the upper midwest and northeast. It doesn't mean the west is bad, it's just a helluva haul to do ANYTHING lol!

I hate that the count was down; however, I might just have a shot to make the field next year!

Exactly! I used to bring this up a lot on this forum a few years back. Pull out a map of the United States and place your finger on any place in Division 5 and see how far it is to most NHRA events.

lane, don't forget the "if you don't like NHRA, there's IHRA" statement....

Division 5 could use quite a few more divisionals even if the alcohol cars were not able to race there.

We lost that option close to here with Salt Lake going back to NHRA. We still have San Antonio,around 1K miles from the Denver area!
