Time To Move Racing

Re: Atlanta Roll Call
 

Good luck to everyone going. That being said, with the way things are run in division 2, and since Atlanta is owned by the NHRA, it would have made my day to see that no one showed up but about 20 TAD and funny cars and after they paid the purse maybe it could have helped to bring some change to the way we are all treated. After the race was pulled from Orlando, they could have given us racers that work for a living a break so that we could recouperate and held that race a month or two later, even if it was still in Atlanta. There is no reason we race so many in Feburary and March and then nothing else untill the end of the year.

Lucky for me this year the kids have things going on just about every weekend through the middle of April so I don't have to worry about hitting the division races plus try to go the Gators then to Belle Rose and then Zmax. I'm the boss at my work but would never be able to take that much time off. I'm sure the car counts would be a little better at some of these races if they were spread out just a little, our wallets can only handle so much.

Re: Atlanta Roll Call
 

Dave, you hit the nail on the head. We can race year round here in Florida. Why must our fearless leader(say that with an accent) have us done racing in March. Doesn't make too much sense. Oh well, I'm just the low man on the totem pole super street racer.

Re: Atlanta Roll Call
 

You all missed nothing. I got down the track one time out of 4 runs. This track is a piece of *&^(. One lane, the left was marginal, right was impassable. Division race run bye dick heads, and thats a big upgrade from what I think. No one in D3 or D5 would have sent cars down without getting some spray and rubber from smaller cars down first. These brain surgeons run S/g and S/c FIRST! Frost on the ground every morning, and done around 4pm????? Lets not wait till noonish and run till 5. Lets not run stock and or S/st first, lets get 900-1100 HP short wheel base cars out then dragsters, good plan guys.

It is my understanding the race was moved because Orlando would not make the changes to the shut down area NHRA had requested, so of coarse they moved it to a track they own in that division. Thats just good buisness.

Re: Atlanta Roll Call
 

I don't mind starting in Feb. and trying to get the northern crowd of entries, it's the total lack of races after the Gators and before the rainy season that befuddles me. April and May are statistically the driest, warmest months of the year and the best time to race. They should push for an extra 1-2 races during that window, especially the week before the Southern Nationals.
