X 2 Charlie. Nhra should make it mandatory that every fuel car Shall Smoke the Tires 100 ft or be DQed. wtf. The big long burnouts always got the crowd going. That was the show long loud burnouts.
Like we have time for jet cars. More $$ But not for us

When these 'Jet' cars are called to the lanes, everyone with a Cobra 'Jet' should join in the fun!

We probably need to make sure someone is watching to make sure they clean the whole damn track before they start running Stock at 8:00 the next morning! I won't be at the front of that line. Mike McMahan 2543 H/SA

It should make qualifying interesting, because you sure as h#ll don't want to be in the first three out the next morning. Will it be, no one goes up before the pros go up to see who will be in the fourth pair down?

Essentially same thing happened to Paula Cotten as I recall; inadequate cleanup at the end of prior night's racing. If they don't clean it up right away there's no way the night dew isn't going to make it worse.

At the last Gators that I ran a couple of years ago I was one of the first three pair out. The roof of my car had a sheet of ice on it that came off at half track, looked like a ball of fire coming from the back of the wagon as it caught the sunlight. Who knows what the temperature of the track was, especially at 8:00 AM with the sun directly in your eyes. Was running Jeff Strickland who had a great view of it. And you all are worried about jet car residue. Don't worry about track prep, think of all the time you have lost due to their presence. First pair out at 7:00 AM

As if National events were not jam packed already you guys go and add more BS exhibition runs to National events. Great job Peter, Glen and the rest of the NHRA staff. Because Jet cars will bring in the fans over top fuel and funny cars. LOL

I guess nhra hasn't heard ringling bros & barnum baileys circus has shut
down. maybe side by side jet cars , side by side monster trucks, side by
side cotton candy machines, or the 24hr gainsville drag race, then they can have displays of old time drag race cars that are obsolete copos's hemi cars
etc. they can end the Walley trophy and start the star bucks award a copper
plated Styrofoam cup, I can see the back up in the staging lanes when a
cotton candy machine dosent pass tech, crap crap crap

I always thought NHRA drug the track every morning and prepped it. The "Show Cars" shouldn`t effect Saturday morning.

Did the WWF buy NHRA? What a circus it's becoming, Wally must be turning over in his grave.
