Nhra hates money

The back area at Gainesville is nice and quiet but the total round trip for a run is 2 to 2.6 miles depending on where in the back you are pitted. The finger road that leads to the back sucks with the dust because its not paved.

Weather looking good for their January 7th test and tune so think I’ll head that way and see if the road is paved now (will report back). Part of that Atlanta sale influx of cash to improve Indy and Gainesville facilities you know..

If they are not going to pave, at least make sure the speakers are working out there.

There are no speakers out there. You have to have a radio. Last year the radio worked pretty good back there. I have not had any luck with their text system. Didnt seem to be working at the Gators and didnt work at all at Indy. NHRA is really backward with their technology. Maybe if they allowed some more quota they could afford to upgrade their communications.

So you really think Nhra cares who is the last diver to show up
Let’s stop beating the dead horse. Fletcher. Santagilo emmons. lamb
They don’t care about the backbone and customers of sportsman racing
We are the wallet$$
Charge more$ for less $ to win
Cut the customer base by about 50% at events
We are in a abusive relationship like a battered spouse
I keep going because of all my friends and competitors I have met
Remember it’s a hobby a sport for the old and out of shape

Remember is my $ and time to race
Nhra is not here to appease us to run national events
Nhra is milking the cow(Us racers) because where are easily impressed
With The Circus and abuse

If you park at the SW area back there you can drive along the cow fence at the south property line. That is paved all the way to the gate where you enter after stacking. It is a bit of a drive but nit bad during the cool part of the year. Going the other way is a mess unless it got paved since last year.

Since I am the ultimate "Pit Snob" I will not go to a race where I have to drive My "$20,000" Super stocker on gravel > if I were NHRA I would be embarrassed that track that they have a race is the same since it was built many years ago Indy for example still has gravel roads I thought NHRA sold Atlanta for improvements of their tracks guess I was wrong about that
