No Redman coming around letting everyone know its time to race. Instead you get a text message when its time to run.

No thorough pre-race inspection. Instead cars will be glanced at when called to the staging lanes just before Q1.

No teardown. Instead racers are solely "responsible for the legality of their own cars".

Someone with power in the organization made the decision to change what had worked very well for many years. These decisions will leave a lot of doubt in racers minds.

It is my understanding that they are parking rigs starting early Tuesday morning. They intend to park everyone in one day....with NO assistance from REDMAN......ha. Ha. Ha. ....Good luck with that.....hey NHRA. Sometimes you just can't save $$$$$$ by cutting staff.....
