Rock, to me this total "BS" on Jay's part. And I hope the commitee dosen't sit on their hands on this.

The folks that chose to use to look at the forcast and made the call to "come in out of the rain" are now being punished. I could not justify spending several hundred dollars just to sit and watch it rain. And I was right !!!!!!

Jay just made it a deal, where you "HAVE" to show up. No matter what!!! "TOTAL BS"

First time I've missed Indy in a long time. I saved a vacation day and $500, but have been bummed all weekend. Fields are now closed, but I couldn't go on on the weekend of 5-21 & 5-22 anyway. Turns out to be a good decision on my part.

i totally agree with rick....BS
maybe with the qualified fields?
but super classes???? WTF!

Re: Indy Divisional Posponed
 

I would be unhappy if I were you also......but its not Jays call......he just printed off the rules for the situation and handed them to me....tech is closed ...if it was postponed before tech is closed then the fields would have been open........that's why the fields are closed....NHRA has written rules for all that stuff....he may have chosen the new date.....but I'm sure if it was up to him he would have opened the fields up....because it's more money for the division....and many more guys would have come out if the forecast was better....

Fire up your emails and let him know how you feel. I realize it probably won't do any good, but thats never stopped me. What a complete crock of S**T! Looks like IHRA will be getting my support that weekend...

Rock.........now that I"m chilled alittle............I'll explain........in my case, I need grade,, couldn't make it to St. Louis due to my Mom passing. Thought I was wise to pass on Indy due the the weather and the expense. And now I'm locked out ........Thats 2 grade points I've just lost. I know, thats my bad luck, but....................

Rock ,, Please understand, I'm not doggin you......ok! You know, I'm the "nutjob" lol

But, Just when does tech close? is there and offical closeing time? never known there to be......alway thought a person could tech in right up to first round..........nothing says there has to be time run made. Theres been guys to tech at the last moment before. So...?

If they would run doubble grade and competition points for the SMP event think how the car counts would be!!

....................instead of rescheduling Indy................advantage racers and NHRA!

Re: Indy Divisional Posponed
 

That would be great for those racers that were planning to attend the race at SMP or those that live close by. But for those that are 9+ hours away and weren't planning to attend that race it would SUCK!
