I want 2023 to be the year of less complaining but 50 car quotas in Stock and Super Stock at the Gatornationals just made me a little sad. However, maybe we will run more rounds in front of filled stands.

I dont think that will happen. You can see the handwriting on the wall. NHRA is slowly squeezing us out of the big show. 10 less quota this year at one of the biggest races of the year. Not a good sign. I guess they dont need our money.

Its not that big of a deal for me as I only run a couple of Nationals per year and I am reaching the twilight of my racing career. Maybe I can race 5-6 more years. Hope longer but who knows.

Maybe they should look at qualifying or Class Winners at the Baby Gators next year for the Gators entries?

Only took 3 minutes for Stock to fill up. Super Stock filled in roughly 18 minutes. Did entry fees go up another $10? I swore they were $340 last year and $350 this year.

That's to bad Dwayne. I really hope to see your car running class at the baby Gators.

If NHRA was serious about a HP system, they would accept 128 entries and have a
Q field of 64. That would sort out combo's quickly, 50 cars in stock are so short sighted.
