Sad reality is your pit space is worth more to NHRA as parking. (I was in the last spot along the chain link fence next to the VIP area. The VIPs kept trying to park in my pit spot. My wife had to shoo them away when I was making a run).

Bob,they did the same thing at New England dragways national.they ran out of vip spots so they send them into our area to park were ever they wanted.they made a lot of racers mad.But that doesn't matter.
