It cant hurt a bit to send some e mails regarding the low quota numbers at the national events. Maybe with enough persuasion we might be able to get NHRA to raise the quota a bit. Quota for the Gators this year is 50 for most of the sportsman classes.I suspect most of the other events will have a similar quota. Lets say NHRA raises the quota to 65 cars. The event would still have filled with 8 grade points in less than 15 minutes in Stock and probably 30 minutes in SS. Raising the quota still wont help the guys that dont chase the grade points. With the amount of classes that NHRA has added in the recent history and cutting back the amount of days for the nationals we will never see quota where it once was. If you want to run a national event you have to play their game. Get a minimum of 8 GP and be really fast on your computer when the event opens for entry.
I could see NHRA changing the grade point system to make it even harder to enter. 9-10 grade points to enter first would be even more difficult to attain those numbers.
