BH, Do you see what is going on with Firebird today?
From Drag Race Central.
CHANDLER, Ariz. - NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series, 26th annual NHRA Arizona Nationals - 12:15p.m. update:
After several days of delays for rain and track incidents last weekend, we are once again in an
extended delay for track conditions.
The NHRA track crew has been working on the track since about 11:00am this morning to remedy
mid-track to finish line issues. The planned Stock; Super Street; and Super Stock qualifying and
time trials were already completed and several Super Comp pairs had completed their runs before the
dragging and spraying began.
The current plan is to do a full track wash, then a regular pre-race track preparation. Once
completed, round one of Stock Eliminator will be attempted. The balance of today's schedule will be
adjusted once the racing begins. The current estimates for the delay is about two hours, plus or
minus.
The balance of Super Comp racers, who were patiently waiting to get their Time Trial, have been
sent back to the pits. In addition, the planned Super Gas and Top Dragster time trial/qualifying
for this weekends LODRS Division Seven opener will be rescheduled to later today or after the
completion of the National Event eliminations.
With weather predictions for a wet Sunday, this has the makings of a long weekend!
Why does it take a week to nothing and then finally decide to work on the racing surface. Maybe a backhoe would be better.
