Your race is farther south for MOST racers, so driving time and fuel costs could sway racers to go to San Antonio, or they could skip both races, who knows. Obviously you have a great facility and we have a awesome time racing there, but San Antonio is a very entertaining city also. Hopefully the peeing contest between both sanctioning bodies will eventually pass and both races can enjoy the full benefit of having a race on seperate weekends.

If you go back and look at the last three years, San Antonio was run in March up against the Memphis Divisional. The Cajun Sportsnationals was run in April for 2005, 2006, 2007. Now explain why you think that Pat and the NHRA put their race on top of the IHRA Nationals in San Antonio. Sounds like it was just the opposite to me. Seems like someone didn't like the March date that they had been running on and moved it to a better weather date to me.

Big tire belong on the back !!
