Rick.....tech closed on Saturday....always does....the rulebook section 10:6 and 7
I think says how its supposed to go in a rain situation....nothing to do with anybody involved....I will ask the powers that be if the rules can be changed because of the economy and weather situations......I'm sure Jay would like the fields to be open....its not his call.....it was written years ago....I'm sure I'm gonna hear why its that way....

Well I asked the question.....I will post the answer when I hear back....

CBS, Bobby thanks for info on tech......for the past 20 yrs of me doing this, I guess I've never had any reason to be concern with closing of tech.........have always been an early guy!

CBS, fair enough on rule change request.

Thanks

Rick

granted this was my first div race,but i .02 is this....if i took the chance to go and get rained out,why would it be fair for them to let anyone else enter the rescheduled race if they stayed at home ? i took the gamble and lost,but i made the decision to go knowing this might happen.....so i would have to say if you didnt go .... you took a gamble,and lost ...again just my .02 and not trying to piss anyone off

This is copied from another message board. I was not there, so I can not answer:

Did the super stock cars get a pass? It is my understanding that they did not and if not,didn't they say at the track on Saturday that if ALL classes did not recive a run that the make-up would be an open field and open to all who wanted to enter.

B CHILLIK · 04-25-2010, 05:48 PM

i can tell you for a fact i was there super stock did NOT make a run....

I am one of those racers who watched the weather for a week prior to Indys race. Like most, I don't have the money to drive hundreds of miles to sit in a rain out or "gamble" on if the event will be run. As I see it, if not even one round of eliminations was run, then the race never happened! So why not let more cars in, make the track more money, and let other possible racers come on the rescheduled date. Also, not sure what rulebook is being looked at, but I see no rule about closing fields. Will NHRA ever make a good decision?
