I Was Shocked.........

[Chris "drooze" Wertman]

I was at Atlanta Dragway today....much poorer condition all around than I expected.....maybe its just because its "off season" ? Track was ok though, strange layout (to me) but hey......

I guess I wont any longer be disheartened at living 20 minutes from 42 (which you expect to be what it is, but it hooks for me and there are just plain awesome people there , they go out of their way to do things for us, like when they heard my son got his Jr, they let us come early in the AM and get him acclimated to the car on the track and such for hours before they opened, that was class in my book)

And Norwalk which is just a plain nice track although its a haul almost 40 minutes away But oddly I always run faster at 42....always....

National Trails I wasnt so impressed with either last year.....

But that and Quaker City are the expanse of my current knowledge (other than Gainesville)

I didnt know National Trails was NHRA owned also, (didnt know till today Atlanta was either)

Private $ will always do a better job I think of doing a track, the NHRA has too many other things to spend money on.

Maybe they should "privatize" the tracks, or do long term leases to interested parties.
