First off Kelli stop playing on the computer and do some work!!!!

Second my thoughts are mixed. I mean we didn't go because of the threat of rain ALL WEEKEND and FAMILY BIRTHDAYS. Atco is only 30 minutes from our house and always a track we love to go to for the divisonal. I can see them closing the fields for Stock, Super Stock, Comp and TAFC and TAD because they all qualify on a ladder so it's not fair to someone who comes the 2nd weekend and try's to enter the race and wasn't there for the 1st weekend on that part. That screws up the ladders and qualifing for the event. As far as S/Street, S/Gas and S/Comp I wouldn't see a problem with them opening up the entries again for anyone who couldn't make it the first time around but then it's not fair to the other classes that are already set in a qualified field to not allow more entries but allow entries in other classes. From what I've heard the race is suppose to be run on either Thursday or Friday so that means for some people they have to almost skip a week of work to travel or get in late Wednesday night and by the time October comes unless you own your own buisness Personal time is skating on thin ice by then because we've used it up throughout the year. I just think they should have scheduled it around July, maybe run it in 1 day and give Sunday as a travel/Rain date. I know IHRA doesn't come close to getting as many cars as a NHRA race does but they seem to have no problem running 2 or 3 divisional races in 1 weekend. Jsut my thoughts...
