Only 13 Funny Cars at Charlotte? (1 Viewer)

With only 13 cars entered I'm wondering what the ladder will be? Anybody have a 13 car ladder that they could post here?
 
With the high "Over the Road" costs, loding, meals, nitro, round to round maintenance costs, etc., it might be that the Countdown started, some of the cars not in the top ten are staying home?
 
In a case like this, why not leave the door open till 1st rd Qualifying of Saturday. That way maybe a team can make a last minute decision to enter due only to low car count.
 
this 2nd race at zmax always seems to struggle. the rest of the nat. events this year have full nitro fields.
brainerd was 1 short in both fields. seattle i think was 1 short in FC? ...... topeka may have been 1 short in FC too?
 
Obviously not a professional sport to be taken seriously, amitrite? 🤷‍♂️
the advertised product is a 16 car field in 4 different pro classes. anything short of that IMO tarnishes the NHRA brand.
not enough 1st rnd. loser money to attract full fields at all the events. it's a tough economy rite now. hope it improves.
 
Hardly full field at most races for funny cars.
3 races with 15
3 races with 14
1 race with 12
This race with 13

Dragsters aren’t as bad but there is a handful of races with less than 16 for them also.

Thanks. You saved me the trouble of looking it up
 
It is all Jims fault he has now set a precedent and many will follow.
Money is tight, not much reward for the risk involved.
I can see it getting worse especially for self funded teams.
If a self funded team is spending a million a year their business has to make about 3-4 million to get the million to race with.
Plus the millions more to support the actual business itself.
 
I'll check their website. NHRA's results showed only 8. I got lazy not checking the other sites.
