x3 on visiting Phoenix. I would have lost money betting that they would have run S/ST back there again this year.
Absolutely disgusted with the NHRA National event S/ST schedule for 2017 for the very reason that was previously mentioned (4 events back to back). There certainly wasn't much consideration for the s/st participants when the schedule was created this year. To pour a little more salt in the wound, several of the s/st events are 4 day events (a couple of hits on Thur and a couple of rds on Fri.). It cost you nearly a week of vacation to run a single event. I don't want to bitch too much because I get reminded by others that a) it's still a choice, b) go run another class if you don't like it. But while your mulling over this one, someone please explain to me the reasoning for a graduated winner's purse when S/St compete equal rds at an event. Granted I understand if you go additional rds. But when I race as long and hard as you at an event, why would you receive $300 more to win.
Yeah, Yeah, I know, go race somewhere else or another class.
