Greg, I'm certain that everyone parked there was desperately searching for some positive aspect to help suppress all the negatives. Every pass I made consumed almost twice as much fuel as I was familiar with on the West side. An NHRA official failed to get the humor when I asked him where I could get my "fuel voucher" stamped after each run. I tried to focus on the fact that our assigned pit was easily accessed from the Road Course, on level ground (important for a manual shift car because at some point you WILL be underneath) and well drained (never got muddy from the several showers during the week) but I had a difficult time supplanting the overwhelming "Red-headed Step Child" feelings.
