Gainesville P/S entries, 25 cars (1 Viewer)

[PiPPi]

The entry list has 25 cars on a 24 car quota. What's the deal, is the last dated entry on some sort of reserve list or something to that effect?

There is no "quota" or qualifying field size limit. Only 16 cars qualify though.

You have a good memory, because that was a long time ago. It is hard for me to remember when their was 64 funnycar fields.

Thanks for the reply,

I was asking because the "NHRA National Event Entry Status"-page at NHRA National Event Entry Statistics shows a column for "Quota".

For P/S it's 24. What's up with that, say we get 30 cars entered for an event with a quota of 24, will they all get a shot at qualifying, no matter the quota-number?

I remember when there were 3 times more entries in every category, not just PS

I've never seen anyone refused a shot a qualifying due to a quota. I have no idea what this whole quota is about.

It might be the number of cars that Nhra expected would enter.

60 entries!

They invite only so-many Pro Mods, that's not the case with P/S.

Back in the day a Pro Stock car was little more than a production vehicle that was heavily modified. I had a friend with a Pro Stock Camaro...that he'd previously driven on the street. It was much easier and far less expensive back then. I remember seeing 20-30 Pro Stockers at AHRA National Opens. Those were regional races, not national events. It was within reach for most of us to field a Pro Stock entry back then.

i can remember when i my home track e-town had close to 40 for ps in the 98-01 events then again they were going only 6.7-6.9's. It seems like the cost to race pro stock skyrocketed in just the last few seasons.

and those were the days where there was no qualifying order, if you were the 1 or 2 qualifiers you can run anywhere in the pack. Made it more fun for the fields because you'd have some of those not in at the tail end of the pack to get in the show.
