Bristol Schedule
 

Here we go again….E1 on Friday!!!
Come on NHRA!!!! Thought you guys were “listening” to the sportsman racers!?!? Obviously not!!
People take their time away from their obligations to go enjoy a sport/hobby that costs lots of dollars, and you guys tell us we get 1 day to enjoy ourselves?!?!?!?
Ridiculous!!!!!

Things like this really make it hard to justify the expense.

Well stated Brett

I am assuming that Josh Petterson and the executives have dinner reservations!!! Barely half of all classes are competing at this National. PS, TAD, TAF, Comp, TS, S/ST, FS are not participating + all the quotas are below the max accept STK...just over 300 cars total, BRUTAL!!! A sportsman field of this size should have easily been able to start eliminations on Saturday morning. NHRA will never understand and as long as we continue to participate/support these potential 1 day Nationals they will keep doing it. IMHO

Don't forget Nostalgia Pro Stock and Junior Dragster are on the schedule.

Re: Bristol Schedule
 

It is due to a poor forecast on Friday night/sat morning with only 3 days to complete the event. Running early AM or deep into the evening does not bode well in the fall months. Obviously it is not ideal for us racers to only enjoy a National Event for one day before potentially loading the car for home but I do believe this race is typically run earlier in the year correct?

Normally Fathers Day weekend in June.

First round runners up could be home in time for Friday night supper.

Just gets better and better…NHRA D2 just posted this. Gee, hope the sportsman racers aren’t too much of an inconvenience.

Attention Thunder Valley Nationals Racers! We have amended the schedule for Friday at Bristol Dragway. With potential weather and cooler temperatures moving in later in the weekend, we will now begin tomorrow at 8:30 AM and run R-2 of the sportsman categories tomorrow as well.

The hits just keep on coming!

Re: Bristol Schedule
 

Nhra is most likely making time for another politician to show up and turn it into another political rally like they did in Dallas NHRA will do anything for a buck these days!!!!

Wally has to have clawed his way to ground level by now.

Sportsmen racers take a back seat we are just in the way

Re: Bristol Schedule
 

I like E1 on Friday. Gives you the option of getting on the road early or hanging out the weekend

Re: Bristol Schedule
 

NHRA continues to run first round on Friday….likely the new norm for three day events.
