Medicine Hat Open July 29 - Aug 1 ?

Aubrey N Bruneau · 07-28-2010, 01:32 PM

Just wondering... The motel I booked, has not one other racer reserved.
Is anybody else going ?
or am I finally going to win at an event ( because nobody else shows up ) ? ! !

Maybe we will have to make it best two out of three!

All I gotta say is Jonathan Adams made a big boo boo and scheduled the Spokane divisional on the same weekend. Most stock /super stock guys are headin south, word has it that Mike Rice and the div 7 guys are going to be doing the tech end of things in the Hat. As we speak my car is on its way to Spokane, I was hoping something would have changed as I would like to support local racing when possible, good luck to who ever runs the hat this weekend!

Me and my Family will be supporting the Medicine Hat open. It is unfortunate that they were both scheduled on the same weekend but for me I have no hope of winning the divisional points title and therefore I stay in Canada. As well we now have 3 junior dragsters on the go so it is the logical choice. I wish all the racers traveling south good luck.

Two "divisional" events in one weekend. Does this happen in other divisions or just div 6?

Well, I'm loaded....
no no no... the car is loaded on the trailer
Should be there somewhere around noon Thursday. Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like there will be much of a line up in tech.

See you there, Darcy... and hopefully some others will come out too

Leave it to NHRA AGAIN!

In this part of the world where race cars and races are so limited,
that the "In Div. Schedule" was never looked at or considered when booking a National Open up against a Points Race...

Is there any common sense out there at all?

Being an employer I can assure you that there is NOTHING common about sense, it seems to be common to have a lack of sense!!!

Can somebody share car counts for the Open? Be nice to see what Spokane "could" have been if not for the scheduling conflict. Of course, Medicine Hat would have benefitted as well just looking at Spokane's entry list.

Results would be appreciated as well...thanks!
