Take 128 entries, have a 64 car qualified field. It would eliminate allot of the sandbagging going on and the ahfs would be more valid. Put the extra entry fee money into increased winning payouts.

I did not say that 5 grade points should be the new requirement- as in drawing the line. It would make me happy if nhra returned to 128 car fields for Stock and Super Stock and let the grade points fall where they may. But of course none of this means anything to you since you are not a Stock or Super Stock racer and have no interest in National Events.

I think its awesome these races are filling up so quick. It's great for the sport. I will see yall at the Opens getting Grade Points for next year

I feel your pain Chip. I had 7 last year, was good enough to get in most races. Only have 6 this year and have a leftover National entry from last year. Hope I can use it! Shame we have to spend around $1500 in LODRS entry fees just for the 'privilege' of running a $400 national event! Sport is sure pushing out the little guy.

Atco open is the same weekend as charlotte. Yes its 300 miles further than charlotte for you, but its a grade point and Dave and D-1 run very good opens. Bring a stocker and a superstocker too and get 2 points for the trip. Points can add up fast.

Yes, a lot of guys seem to do it on test and tune day which is the thursday. Its a fun event.....kind of like a mini-indy with top stock, in the past they have had class, cic racing. I'm not sure about class this year, but certainly top stock on friday, which is fun to watch....For elims at the opens round one is bracket style just pick a lane and run who is next to you, after that its laddered. Speeds things up.

Track is close to sea level, good barometer, real good hook. If its cool hang on it will be fast.

I don't tend to eat most track food, but I have had their chili, and ice cream and I think a hamburger or two with the kids all quite good....and been to the bar with the wife.....

They sell VP at the track too. Hoosier truck is usually there also.

The divisional is the next weekend so a lot of people will be leaving their trailers.

Don`t forget, from the past several seasons all you need is a one grade to get into Denver!

I still cant under stand the quota limit thing on the biggest class that they have or could get . I can remember the 128 car bump spot at div. races . Why not 85 car field limit and unlimited enteries and the fastest get in ? It would add to the qualifying action and let the AHFS work possibly . Any how see you at the races .
