They just opened registration for us after last weeks conference call. The payout structure is actually very fair considering NHRA is going to deal with limited capacity once again this year.

I believe you'll start seeing more teams enter as we get closer. However I don't expect a large turnout in either nitro category.

Maybe NHRA could put cardboard cutouts in the stands. Of course with mask.

DSR should have 2 FC & 2 TF at the Gators.

They have priced themselves out of the sport. They can say goodbye to the Chevrolet prostock class and put some cash into the Samtech Factory stock class which is way more fun to watch. Drop any Monday testing. Let the Pros ( there's a name) earn grade points with test runs at divisional races near themselves. Maybe squeeze their runs in about 7 A.M. since Monday testing doesn't have fans either. Let the 25 crew members buy pit passes and sit at the end of the track. Sounds fair!
