Chris,

Thanks for sharing this info...it just solidifies the fact why we don't run any NHRA National events especially Seattle.

My wife and I as well as many of our travelling partners have always wanted to run Seattle but too many horror stories from good racing buddies who have taken the chance at the Seattle event have discouraged us now for the past 8 years. We have decided to compete only at select NHRA division 6 races (Mission, Billings etc. ) and this year in more bracket racing locally. It not only keeps racing costs down but we are having more fun!

Chris, I am sorry to hear they made you wait all day, then hot lap the hell out of you guys and jump through hoops to navigate the road course at Pacific Raceways. For all of the professionalism NHRA tries to exemplify at their races, they sure fail miserably when something like this happens. NHRA doesn't seem to get it. Racers tell other racers about their racing experiences!

Hopefully your next race will be a better one!
