Re: pomona
Yeah and the sad part is I can see if they were in a rush to get the race done so they can air the finals on ESPN that night but, NO it's not going to be on until Sat Night for a whole 1/2 an hour!! So it's not like they were in a rush to get the Pro's done so they can get the tape back to the trailer to edit it for that night's broadcast. S/G with the MOST Cars didn't run 1st round until 4pm...I mean I would have loaded up and rolled already if I knew thats what time we were going to run. I understand oil downs and getting bumped for a reason but Stk was in Round 4, T/F & F/C was done, P/S, TAD, TAFC were in the finals or semi's and S/G was still at the trailers (S/S and Comp got the shaft 2 with only 1 round complete but Comp had like 12 bye runs 1st round). I know it's preaching to a choir but if the writing not on the wall after this then I guess we all need to get beat upside our head to wake up and smell the roses.
The thing I don't understand is with that little amount of cars left (About 30 total) why couldn't they just run it at a future event. All the cars that look like they are left are all D7 or D6 cars and I don't see a problem with why they couldn't run it at Arizona or one of the D-7 races coming up shortly instead of making the racers stay another day (A total of 8 to 9 days at an event with parking) and make them use up even more vacation time. Maybe NHRA will give the drivers a doctor's note for not coming to work today....hahahahahahaha
