Dear NHRA....
 
This is the 50 th running of the Gators, class is such a BIG deal that you moved it one weekend ahead of time. I realize that it is too much to ask that you RUN A,B, C, D, and so on ...one after the other....You know kinda like the alphabet.....BUT could you at LEAST run all the cars in their respective class TOGETHER......REGARDS....

You really think that the NHRA could get 103 Stockers to show up on demand?

Why not ? If people don't want to race when they are called then they can stay at there trailer all day. I think it would be cool to see classes run in order.

I would put a time limit on classes called, if you aren't there by that time, put a line across back of staging and send em packing ,bye runs to the people who don't play games! People start missing class , I'm thinking they may show up a little earlier. Pretty simple concept really.

Maybe if everyone would show up on time and quit wasting the tech officials time and pissing them off and it ran smoothly , maybe the quotas would start coming up on natl events, because they all the sudden have an extra 4 hours at the end of each day hmmm.

Try showing up late to work every day ;)

You would still have the guys that want to go up last, to avoid a fast guy, or try to get the bye. Had a lot of both "back in the day". A loss in class meant going on home. The morning after class run offs, lots of parking space in the pits.
It got to where we had small fields of Stock & SS. Slow guys knew they could not make it through class just stopped running the national events.

If you folks were here racing you would understand why a competitor is late to the lane
Racers are 1 mile away on the road course so common sense should be used
Again you had to be there Baby Gators 🐊 Keep throwing snowballs
It’s going to be 80 degrees And RACING. Life is Good

This ^^

Not everyone is pitted within 100 ft. of a pa speaker.
The FM radio pa system at some tracks is weak also.

A mass texting system would be nice but that would involve NHRA hiring another employee to send out texts.
