Much agreed Michael. Why did S/SS racers not show up. I've heard "it's 1/8 mile". Can't race 1/8th for 5K to win??? Really???
I think the timing of the race may have hurt. With the Divisional at Norwalk this weekend, Sportsnationals the following week and the Route 66 divisional after that. But really, if you are anywhere close why would you not run ? Is time off from work? is a matter of money? Saving funds to run 2 or 3 NHRA races in a row?
May have been too early in the season. One racer told me he had not been out yet and needed to test on a 1/4 mile track.
Michael, you know more than anyone there are several reasons. Hopefully more will attend the June 17th race at Dragway 42. I think they will, especially with it being a new facility.
