"At this point we have not turned away anyone on the list who pre-registered," said Chris Blair, LVMS Sr. Director of Drag Racing Operations. “Any late entries must contact the NHRA Pacific Division office to determine eligibility for competition in this event. At this point, additional entries will only be granted to teams currently in contention for NHRA National and Divisional points. Any racer who is listed on this entry list and has elected not to race in Las Vegas is encouraged to contact the NHRA Pacific Division offices.”

The Strip at LVMS received a record number of Top Alcohol Dragster and Top Alcohol Funny Car entries, causing officials to seal the list and refuse late requests.

"It's a tough situation to be in -- to turn away participants who normally could make the show at most divisional races," continued Blair. "However, we have national and divisional championships on the line and we need to make sure those participants have the opportunity to race under the best conditions possible. We need to make sure that the racer competing for the Super Street title receives the same opportunities as the racer competing in Top Alcohol. We pride ourselves on being customer friendly to all sportsman racers and want to make sure that everyone's needs are properly met."

The track will enforce an extremely-strict zero-tolerance policy for oil and fluid leaks for this event for all classes. In addition, Top Alcohol pit spaces will be awarded based on 2006 national and divisional point standings. Only the top 16 in points for both Top Alcohol Dragster and Top Alcohol Funny car will receive a spot in the track's pro pit/midway area.

For more information, please contact The Strip's office at (702) 632-8213 or visit www.LVMS.com.
