Here we go again….E1 on Friday!!!
Come on NHRA!!!! Thought you guys were “listening” to the sportsman racers!?!? Obviously not!!
People take their time away from their obligations to go enjoy a sport/hobby that costs lots of dollars, and you guys tell us we get 1 day to enjoy ourselves?!?!?!?
Ridiculous!!!!!

Things like this really make it hard to justify the expense.

Well stated Brett

I am assuming that Josh Petterson and the executives have dinner reservations!!! Barely half of all classes are competing at this National. PS, TAD, TAF, Comp, TS, S/ST, FS are not participating + all the quotas are below the max accept STK...just over 300 cars total, BRUTAL!!! A sportsman field of this size should have easily been able to start eliminations on Saturday morning. NHRA will never understand and as long as we continue to participate/support these potential 1 day Nationals they will keep doing it. IMHO

Don't forget Nostalgia Pro Stock and Junior Dragster are on the schedule.

It is due to a poor forecast on Friday night/sat morning with only 3 days to complete the event. Running early AM or deep into the evening does not bode well in the fall months. Obviously it is not ideal for us racers to only enjoy a National Event for one day before potentially loading the car for home but I do believe this race is typically run earlier in the year correct?
