Re: Live from the NHRA Gatornationals
 

Ken: not to push any buttons or anything but I just saw this on NHRA's website....

"Lucas Oil Sportsman update (6:15 p.m.): Due to the water in the pits and the troubles it has created in getting cars out of trailers, most of the Lucas Oil Sportsman classes will have to be put on hold until a yet-to-be-determined time. The only Lucas Oil categories that will run Saturday will be Top Alcohol Dragster, Top Alcohol Funny Car, and Comp. The other categories are in wait-and-see mode; if conditions are good enough, they will begin making passes Sunday. If conditions don't allow for racing Sunday, action will be pushed to Monday"

Thanks Freddie,
Been sitting in here in the mud and this is the first I've heard anything.
Anymore news keep us posted.

Re: Live from the NHRA Gatornationals
 

Freddie,

Your not pushing my buttons, I am well aware of the schedule and why we will be racing on Sunday and most likely Monday. I posted the picture of the schedule and assumed everyone know that this was NHRA's plan.

With all do respect Chuck, the schedule has be up for hours and they have been announcing their plans all day.

If I here anything new I will post asap.

Re: Live from the NHRA Gatornationals
 

Thanks Ken,
I saw the posted schedule, I'm just looking for confirmation that we will be here on Monday or no, looks like we will.
Enjoy the Florida Mud.

Rich,

While you may be right about most spectators, I for one, didn't go to Gainesville because the sportsman guys were probably going to get rained out. Unfortunetly I was right, but you can bet there are some of us who would lot rather watch ya'll run than the SAME PRO guys. Hope to see you in Charlotte.

Re: Live from the NHRA Gatornationals
 

Ken,

Thanks again for all of the updates and pictures when you could get them. Are you going to Charlotte?

Re: Live from the NHRA Gatornationals
 

Butch: same here... I usually go every year on Friday, decided to stay home this year, was thinking about going Saturday, but could care less about the pro show.. would rather see Super Stock and Comp personally...

Maybe if they run the sportsman on Monday I will come up....

Re: Live from the NHRA Gatornationals
 

Outhouse rumor has it that we might....might (if that's even useable here...) run one Q 'er after all the show tomorrow, and maybe 1 st rd. tomorrow night.

I am remaining hopeful. That's all I'm gonna say.......

I will not get out the box tomorrow, thanks to Worner ! Wait till I see you again !

Re: Live from the NHRA Gatornationals
 

I waited most of the morning in the parking lot to see if stock/super stock was going to run.After 3pm it was still raining a bit,then found out only the Pro's and alky would run.I went home.

Re: Live from the NHRA Gatornationals
 

Kenny, the worst rumor that I heard was that you would not have any Q runs, but, instead random pairing for first round...How do you like that for a crazy rumor!!! The pits are the worst have I seen them in a long, long time.....Good luck tomorrow guys.

Ken,

You and Bill are in a muddy, swimming pool down by the tree line. Good luck this weekend.
