Only 8 TF’ers for Pomona??

14 on the left coast, wonder what the rest of the year will bring.

can remember years when it was just the opposite for FC and TF

Now see? If they would have not shot down Larry Dixon, Jr's 2-seater idea - there would be 16 names on the list

if the rumors are true, that they took away money from pro stock to support the nitro classes, than since the TF field is short, maybe they should give back the cash they took away instead of pocketing it!

Saw on Facebook the last couple of days of a new team out at Wild Horse getting the driver Terry Brian licensed with Scott Gaddy doing the tuning, Don't know anything about these guys, but I wish them well.

I had read on Competition Plus they were going to run at Houston.

DRO states "with only 14 cars Mike Salinas is sure to make the field" . I'm pretty sure he will make it if there are 114 cars.

do the rules allow late comers ?, lets say a team changes its mind and wants to attend at the last minute!

thought about that too, but then 5 races from now when 13 PS's show up and 18 TF'rs, who gets 14-16 PS dough?........IMO short field money should go into the purse
of the class that is short. i don't know this for sure, but i would think mello yello's sponsorship of nhra's pro classes is predominantly the purse money for 4 pro classes over
a 24 event series + championship bonuses?

I believe Monday before the event is the cut off.

I think NHRA would allow an entry after the deadline if the field is short. I think they've done it before. I might be wrong though.

I believe you also are suppose to notify by Monday if you are not attending.

I'm not sure who on a Tuesday/Wednesday decides they are going to attend a national event on a Thursday/Friday with their nitro car. Everything involved in getting these cars on the track by Friday or Saturday is a logistics nightmare.
