27 spots open in SS and 16 open spots for Stock.

Looks like last year only had 53 entries in SS and 54 in Stock. Previous years also seem to not fill up.

Has the quota always been 70 or did NHRA bump it up for this event?

Is there another race that weekend that's drawing racers away? Maybe it's just logistically difficult for some?

I'm just curious.

Horrible pit conditions would be a good place to start.

Matt, please take a trip out to the sportsman pits. You might just find an answer to your question

We plan on making 3 of the 4 qualifiers which is no small feat for the lowest funded nitro team with crew guys and gals who all have normal Monday - Friday jobs. So my free time could be incredibly limited. But if I'm able to get away I will absolutely do that. I'm assuming the sportsman pit area is the large grass field on the left side of the track beginning at the finish line?

Look for the large dust bowl or the big mud pit...pending weather.

Mr. Candies defined the problem very well. “ No you can’t park there this is reserved for XXX”. A day later the person that gets the spot races the same Stock eliminator as we do. Just don’t lie to us.

Div 4 has a parking problem at most tracks, which has led to a Competitive Parking Diva League with multiple players who are willing to pay fees for favors
