One would think at the biggest race of the year, where action starts Wednesday morning, they would post a run schedule a tad earlier.

Not to pile on, and as you all know, I am not an NHRA basher, and regularly stick up for them on this forum, but I have to say closing the Indy gates at 18:00 on a Monday and Tuesday on an event of this caliber when racing starts Wednesday morning first thing is pretty disappointing. You have people coming from all over the country, and a lot of us, still have a real day job. You can't keep one or two minimum-wage gate attendants there until, say 9 pm, at least on Tuesday night for crying out loud!

Rant over

They do it because the entry to the event doesn?t end till 11am PST (2pm East Coast Time)on Monday so they need to see how many cars are entered to square up how the rounds work out. Like SC&SG will be one more round then Stk & SS and Comp is one more round then normal.
