Stacking at St. Louis

Larry Hill · 09-21-2019, 04:42 PM

Have yall gotten your email about stacking at St. Louis?

AAA Insurance NHRA Midwest Nationals Participants

There will be no early stacking allowed on property. Any sportsman racer arriving before 5 a.m. on Thursday, September 26th will be turned away and will need to find another location to park. There is a truck storage lot across the street behind the truck stop and other venues in the region to park.

As a reminder the parking/stacking schedule is as followed for Wednesday.

Sportsman Stacking will begin at 5:00 AM. Please use the gate at 1905 Collinsville Rd (near the DirtPlex).
Sportsman Parking will begin at 8:00 AM.
Parking will conclude at 5:00 PM.

Attached is a complete schedule for the upcoming event. We appreciate your cooperation.

Thank You

NHRA and World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway

This is absolutely ridiculous!!

We are in Great Bend and had planned on getting to St. Louis and stack. Then do a little shopping and spend some money with them, but evidently they don't need our money! Seriously considering just going home from here and withdrawing. NHRA sure doesn't value their customers. Just arrive in time to give them our money and get nothing in return!

Patsy,

Sure seems “Penny wise, pound foolish” is all the rage everywhere one looks these days...

I suspect me and a few racers coud solve the boondoggle of stacking race cars for NHRA at every race to make NHRA customers happy and really help them enjoy the racing experience. All it takes is some preplanning by Racers who know the area .NHRA Let me know and we can negotiate the stacking contract with us to help your issues with the most complaing issue about NHRA ever ,Call me I can put the plan together after we sign the contract I ain't cheap .lol 602-284-6240

stacking is the easy part, parking is the boondoggle and not due to the NHRA rather the first 50 racers or so into every event that save 150 spots for their friends.

there is nothing "legitimate" about this latest self serving complaint, it just that infringes on his plans.

As a former class racer, but one who still follows the sport closely, I no longer have a dog in the fight. Something always confuses me though. NHRA continues to pull this stuff and treat class racers like red-headed step-children, the racers complain (which they completely have the right to do) YET they continue to go back and support them. Quit and run NMCA. What would NHRA do if not one single class car showed up? Hard to take people's complaints seriously when they'll be at the next race continuing to take their crap. Just my 2 cents.
