Thanks Pete for filling in, I just did have time to post. We had an official count of 564 I believe. If you did not already know, Atco Dragway is not a big track for parking. 500 plus cars is always a challenge, but I have to say the track officials handled it well. The NHRA staff did a great job getting it all done in a timely manner. It was hot and humid, but I thought the track was in good shape, although I did here of some having issues. We only had a few oil downs, but they were quickly handle.

Danny Gracia was here, not sure the last time he was at Atco, but he did tell me he was impressed how D1 runs their program. I know its not for me to say, but I can't for the life of me understand why the top brass at NHRA are not using Danny and of course Dave Ley on a full time basis anymore. The resource of knowledge between the two of them is priceless. I have such a bad felling on what the future will bring. The market is here, people want to race. I pray NHRA does not miss the opportunity to use this market while its still here. Stock and Super Stock are alive and well, please NHRA do the right thing for the racers that have supported you for over 60 years. I guess I went off topic, feel free to jump in, but try to be nice.
