That's what the NHRA news release indicates....they should have made Maple Grove the first race in the chase....would have made it more likely to avoid the rain issues.

I heard the reason they changed it was because the weather was supposed to be better that weekend.

Re: Maple Grove National in 2012 moved to Oct 4-7
Nobody controls the weather and we all know ''deep down'' that Jack and Bob have nothing to do with it....razzing them about it is done in good humour.....
Perhaps there is room for improving a ''rain disaster plan'' by being more proactive and less reactive. Easy to say, some will think/say....but some events/tracks seem to do a better job at it than others. No matter what weather will always have the final word and that is just the way it is. Way back when I was still racing and complaining about the weather a more senior racer at the time told me that if rain was my problem I should take up BOWLING...... |
