Qualifying sheets at National Events

[Dan Fletcher]

NHRA can make us all mad for various reasons, but my ire at Indy was drawn by the lack of qualifying sheet info being made available. Stock class ran Thursday first thing and was final pending tech by 10am. Crickets. The NHRA site had Stock Q3, but like it almost always is, was wrong. Nothing was ever posted about SS Q3 at all.

Nothing on he NHRA D3 FB page, as if one should actually have to go to friggin' FB to see event qualifying, and nothing at all on DRC. But guess what, we don't pay DRC to enter, we pay NHRA, and I did so to the tune of $810. Sometimes their lack of performance actually exceeds their arrogance, which frankly I didn't think was possible.

I feel bad for Kevin McKenna and Lonnie Grimm. We're friends, I look at them as my conduit to the machine, and as such they get an earfull from me from time to time. I voiced my displeasure to both regarding this situation. We all know seeing a Q sheet has been a problem at every National since Covid, and I've had enough of it. They're posted at Division races, there's no effin' reason they aren't at Nationals.

Well, Lonnie said he will personally post them at Maple Grove this week, and at all National events moving forward. And by that I mean old school, tape them to the fuel check trailer. Thank you sweet baby Jesus. Oh, and Lonnie too...
