Stock Entry at Vegas

Maybe they're afraid they'll forget...

Are the provisional entries past world champions and that race champion? How long does the provisional entry last - a year, 5 years, forever?? If so, didn't they earn the right to enter when they want?...

Sure they have that right but why do that when it keeps other racers from being able to enter. I thought maybe there was extra processes to go through if they waited to enter until after the class was full. Just didn't know. I don't think provisional entries should count towards the quota anyway but since it does....... I'll take Dan's answer since he's got the most provisionalist experience.

They do need update their system, to allow a provisional racer such as Dan to enter whenever he wishes, and not effect the quota. I don't think that is rocket science.

Maybe a asterick next to his name, indicating his entry doesn't count towards the quota. As it is now, the provisional racers wait in order to register to be nice towards the quota racers. If they wait too long, NHRA doesn't care, no go....don't care if the field is 1/3 full, no go, which is a business practice few could pull off.

When is the provisional deadline? I thought the deadline was the same for everyone. I'm still learning.

Yes, everyone has the same deadline.

I seem to recall Dan writing a story or something about forgetting one time.
