Thanks guys. It was a great weekend. It was nice to meet you Mike and also Chris Bowman and a few other people I didn't know. The people that missed this race missed a nice race track in beautiful country. You drive through the Daniel Boone National forest to get to the track. The starting line was good and the track people and IHRA folks worked hard to keep it that way. I know all the negative reasons people didn't come but it just seems that a lot of NHRA racers think there is something demeaning about racing an IHRA event. It's racing the same way at both venues. You put a number on your window and try and cut a good light and run your number.

I guess I just don't understand. There were a lot of racers 2 to 3 hours from London that didn't even consider it. I hope London will do this again, but I know they had to lose money this weekend. Guys, if we don't support these races they won't be there in the future and the less places we have to race the worse it is for class racing.
