During the early Spring and Fall months there are just way too many racers entered, the weather is great, the track is superior, its not dusty enough on the pit roads, and because of the weather you have to wear long sleeve shirts and jackets and sometimes its down right cold (30-40 degrees if you can believe it), your car will run way too fast, people even have open fires and sit around drinking beer until way too late at night and you have way too much fun, which can lead to oversleeping and running late the next morning.

Makes more sense to me to have them in June, July and August ?????

Sure makes sense to me......

I've said it a million times no races in July and August in D4. I have sent emails to IHRA and NHRA directors in D4 about this and it falls on deaf ears. Been doing it for 6 years now. Example Crandall race in May was rescheduled. I told Frank DO NOT have this race in July or August. I said it's to damn hot and numbers will be way down. Well guess what the race was in mid July and it was 106 outside. Makes sense to me.........
