Default Re: "Live" from Charlotte fall 2017

I wonder what NHRA does not understand about value for dollar spent??
Every morning at National events, Stock eliminator is first out and nobody wants to be the first car down the track. This morning, I was one of the first 3 sets of cars out, and for my early arrival, I got a nothing run! By a nothing run I mean I was off .09 in 60' compared to the Division 5 Earlville race a week ago. Today there was more barometer here in Charlotte and the performance should have been better not worse! Wayne Totaro was in front of me in the right lane, and he spun so bad, they gave him 2 attempts to get down the track and neither was successful! Unless NHRA wants everyone to do a Dan Fletcher imitation and be one of the last 6 pairs down, they need to improve the starting line to where people have confidence that they will get some numbers to race off of and not just wet your finger and hold it up and guess how much your car is going to spin! NHRA, it is an easy fix: Just have the starting line ready for the first pair!
