This way a driver could come and stay at the track (for free) , get two races in, and have only have 1 tow bill. Just because you dont like the new schedule doesnt make it bad or make them bad schedulers. HRP only races, what, 6 weekends a year, if other tracks cant schedule around that then they have a problem. You are not even racing HRP's events this year so why do you keep ripping them. We have one of the best tracks in the country right in our back yards and we dont appreciate it. This is the toughest, tightest racing I have seen at HRP in my 20 years of racing. In years past all you had to do is show up at all the races and make the bracket team, not any more. There are more cars and higher payout than ever before at HRP. Bracket racing is definantly not dieing in Texas. Come on back out you might just like it.

Yes you are right, I WAS all for it. Not anymore the way they run it. SLOW. If they would pull their head out of their asses, then maybe I would go back. I have been racing all but 2 years out there since 96. I have qualified for all the team finals on the years I signed up for points. They don't listen to what the majority of the racers have to say. The place is really falling apart. They need to upgrade the bathrooms, maybe put in a couple of shower stalls. Well, I really need to end this rant before they invite me not to come back, but then that won;t bother me either. Maybe if they started their program on time on sundays, I would feel different. But it takes a hour to load up 2 cars, another hour to drive home, have to drop the trailer off at the storage, get 2 days worth of Igloos and laundry out of the trailer put it in the truck and then when we do finally get home, unload all that stuff and get cleaned up to go to bed. So after we get our last time ticket, it is a minimum of 4 hours until we are settled down.
