Re: Indy Divisional Posponed
 

Having been there, I agree with Chillik except for Super Stock, those guys should have been the first out Saturday then S/C and the balance of the cars that didn't get a hit. But I don't make the rules, just try to play by them.
Something I was glad to see was calling the race about 9:30 instead of 4:00 or 5:00 ( something that should have been done Thursday AM ) and spending another day in the RAIN...........Now this is just my .02
And yes I did bring enough beer..

Didn't seem like that many.

Re: Indy Divisional Posponed
 

The issue is once tech is closed the fields are what they are....I have the printed copy of the rules that have been in place for several years....the only decision made was when to call it...and if it was after tech closed on Saturday...which it was....then the fields would be closed.....I asked for them to be opened up.....what else can we do.....its bad for everybody.....I'm sure I will hear why the rules are the way they are....its always interesting to hear the other side of the story....

I will post when I hear back from them.....

Re: Indy Divisional Posponed
 

I was there and only live 20 minutes from the track and if it was a divisional other than orp's and the weather looked like it did im pretty sure i wouldnt have made the drive after looking at the forcast. I think not leaving the fields open is very ignorant on nhra's part but what do you expect from them for the people who stayed home smart decision and i too think its bull **** that u cant enter in may. Seems like a win win for everyone. Rock im sure nothing u say will change their minds if thats what the rule says then im sure thats the way it will be. See you all in norwalk.

Re: Indy Divisional Posponed
 

Can someone please tell me what page these rainout rules are in the NHRA 2010 rulebook? It is not on 10:6or 7.

this sounds like atco's june race last year

Re: Indy Divisional Posponed
 

I was there in Superstock and will call the divisional office tomorrow, but does anyone know if you can get refunds for the 2 crew I had with me, since I live in Boston and will not be able to make the rain date.

How long after do they usually post your grade point or do we now have to wait until after the rescheduled date to get our grade point?

Re: Indy Divisional Posponed
 

Rock, what keeps the NHRA having the Indy divisional in April? I can't remember what happened last year, but I do remember that it was a rainout in '08. I remember that because it was postponed to the following weekend, which cut into a vacation in South Carolina for me. Why don't they swap Indy and Bowling Green? Even without rain, Indy can sometimes be cold in April. Which Bowling Green, though not too much further south, it could be a few degrees warmer, which could help. Plus, having the Indy Divisional the week before US Nationals would increase turnout tremendously. And if it's a rainout, they would still have Monday and Tuesday to complete it. I'm sure most people that would come to the divisional would also attend the nationals if they can take the extra week off. My .02

Re: Indy Divisional Posponed
 

schultz........I didn't find it either, but reading what was put on the div 3 website they show it as 10:6 and 10:7

It's not clear about weather as being the reason...........

It's a little cloudy ! lol

Re: Indy Divisional Posponed
 

Hey guys...I have a question...so the ones that go back in three weeks do not have to tech again? Tech will be closed and you will just starting racing is that it??? I am trying to understand this whole ordeal as we also watched the weather and did not want to spend vacation days and the entry fees to sit in the rain...I can live by the rules if I totally understand them but this all seems confusing...

Thanks,

Amy
