Vegas Fuel Car Count
23 TF and 25 FC................seems to go against the theory of low car counts due to the COUNTDOWN
For the record......26 PS and 20 PSM

Re: Vegas Fuel Car Count
yeah, 11 floppers are from 4 teams... , KB, Teach, Jerry, Scott, Head, TJ, Tim, Mike Ashley, and T-Bone make the normal 20... why Gilby would bother is beyond me (Fram/Autolite?) he can't make races closer to home... Jon Capps has a local sponsor...
who are the other 3? really think it's a matter of a fun vacation before winter...
T/F? just a few over average... and one came over from Europe...
P/S and PSM?
guess it's about bragging rights... like I've said, the only PRO class I pay attention to is flopper...

All we hear is all about low car counts at Nat. events
We finally see almost 50 Nitro Cars at one event.......
And it's dismissed...........

Re: Vegas Fuel Car Count

I'd love to see 8 or 9 more cars in flopper and a dozen more in T/F and Start with 32 car ladder under the lights Saturday night... going to the sweet sixteen Sunday morning...
Once you're in, you've got an equal chance to win, and with 32 slots, maybe even more cars would make the tow...

Glass half full.......
4 dozen is a good start.
Who knows?
Your dream might still become reality.........that would be great for all.
I agree........sendin' 'em home is not a great incentive.

Re: Vegas Fuel Car Count
i've mentioned this before.
more $$ for non-qualifying spots - if pro nhra is still going to be
a 3-day affair (and BIR friday this year was packed), then try to reward
the non-qualifiers with enough $$ to cover part of their travel expenses;
even if they don't make all the qual. passes, they still offer fan access
in the pits for those not caught up in the general masses surrounding
some of the more well known teams.
