To bad they limit the entries in TD and TS to just 32 when overall car counts are way down.

The Top Dragster winner James Warden is simply put - the story of the event. Dude had a major abdominal surgery a little more than a month ago and took home the Wally in a car won in a raffle at The Spring Fling Million in Vegas last year by his wife - who won another car that same weekend by beating him in the final round of the first race of the weekend - both driving "rental-cars" from Tom Bayer...
36 TS cars and 48 TD cars at the Tucson Divisional race this weekend. 4 Comp cars. It’s obvious there are plenty of people wanting to run fast cars, but Comp is really suffering from the budgets required to compete. Randy Goodwin is running his TS car there, go get ‘em Randy!
Well, if one were to have checked the TD Indy entry list about 2 weeks ago, there were 42 or 43 entries. With about an hour to go until entries close, it's down to 34. Under quota.
SS, SC, and Stk have 150 entry quotas. Both were above quota, now SS and Stk are in the 130s and SC may dip below 140. Lots of guys pulled out. Not sure if some live in the deep south hurricane area, or if some broke at one of the 3 Divisional races last weekend.
This happens every. single. year.

There's some attrition, but for any race that's expected to hit the quotas, if you think you might go, you better get in early to reserve your spot. You can always withdraw if it ends up that you can't make it. The last thing you want is to decide late that you want to go, and then be on the outside looking in.
In the case of Stock and SS, you also need to evaluate how competitive your combination is going to be since this is one of the few races that will have a bump spot. Some will enter and then withdraw after seeing the entry list and determining that they don't have a realistic chance to make the field.
