Looks like the division director makes that call....I know ours did....even the tracks that were on something else were changed for the divisional races.....I'm not trying to attack other products but the Division 3 tracks were very good for our cars....so I hope it continues....

Do you really want to give NHRA more ideas for fees and "enhancements" when we already pay sanctioning bodies to race with them? It reminds me of teachers going to work but having to buy school supplies to do their job because the school won't provide everything they need. Do you expect to bring your own pillow and blanket when checking into a hotel?

My brother who is a regular bracket racer at Gainesville has had the same problems on a weekly basis, he was at the open last weekend and said it was a joke on how bad the track was. He has a back halved big tire small motor car that runs 11.30s he has a pretty good gear in it.... 1.48 60 ft ... He varied .07 in 60 ft in 10 runs all weekend, simply unacceptable!!! We built this car for this purpose... To be extremely consistant even on a " ok" track. He does go to other NHRA tracks and thats exactly what the car does.... Deadly consistant .... If his car varies by .02 all weekend its strange!!! Pretty much sums it up that something is very different at this place from all the others.... Just need to find out what it is!!!!

So CBS, what you are saying is D3 "deserved" it and no other divsions did? Mighty bold statement there!
