I dont understand the issue that most NHRA races "start over" the run order when there is a rain-out for the day. So many sportsmen got 2 practice runs and we got none. This has happened to 3 races I have attended during rain outs, 2 NHRA and 1 IHRA. Not logical. However, during Indy that changed it on Sunday for SS to go down first! If it is a good idea for Sunday, then why not for Fri or Sat?

The other thing that seemed very strange was that the exhibition Skii-Doos were put ahead of the SSers. It started raining just before we could make our first practice run. Didn't NHRA do a Poll about the public's most popular race category a couple of years back? Didn't S & SS come in second on popularity with everyone voting of even the Pro Categories? Skii-Doos must be more popular than Top Fuel!!!!!

Yes we all know that rain is no one's fault, but how you manage it is in question. I call for common sense changes.
