Sounds great for late arrivers like myself! I can't get there on Wednesday and normally come in the night before an event, have to tech and go through the registration process and make the first hit. This is right up my chaotic alley.

They left out one important item. What day will the racers park in the pits? The day before the event begins (same day as stacking) or the day the event starts?

Also, what restaurants, movie theaters, etc. use this system? Just curious.

Because less time will be required on site, stacking and parking will be moved one day later for each national event.* For example, at three day events stacking will begin on Wednesday and parking will begin on Thursday.* Hours will be extended for each national event to provide additional time for parking.* Schedules posted on NHRARacer.com will include when stacking and parking will begin. this is copied from the nhra site

The thought occurred to me that it seems when Businesses spend millions of dollars in advertising to get customers to come and show up at their business and to spend money and when the customers show up early they say oh no you have to wait to get in to the business , this seems counterproductive . The business should welcome their customers with open arms any time their customers want to show up with some form of plan and that plan should favor the customers not the business

Mr. Kennedy,
Most businesses have "business hours". NHRA is basically outlining their business hours. Why should NHRA or a hosting track have to accommodate people at their own expense for people who show up outside of "business hours".

Time will tell if the improvements work. On the surface, I thought the announcement sounded good!

Wink Re: National event chaos?

sounds good? lets see, a lot of 3 day events with 1 day time trial on Friday and racing on Saturday and Sunday, I like it from that aspect. I even think someone said the 3 day events will cost less for entry fees since you will have less time on the track lol. I sure cant wait to see what happens if it rains on Friday? I personally do not mind no qualifying run and random pairing said no one ever!!! Merry Christmas everyone

Speaking as someone who still hasn't gotten their car together, and as someone who will probably never get to the track any earlier than I really have to...

This sounds good to me!

Question . If you filled you tech card out at home can you change classes when you get to track? Or you stay in class you picked? Sometimes I need to hide.
