Holy cow what a long day Friday will be. First round for Stock and Superstock will be 13-14 hours after the first qualifying pass.

I doubt that they will get that far in the Program= Remember the Divisional
and all the Delays! I am glad that we have a Toterhome to stay in and rest.

I hear it is a mess at the track. The carnival that was there is basically still being torn down. The stacking of rigs won't be let in till possibly noon Thursday (tomorrow) I was told. Maybe 10 am if all goes well. You have to be careful of big staples they use to hold down the fake grass they installed for the carnival. The fan parking lot is still full of tents. The fences around the track has to be reinstalled yet. There are folks hanging around everywhere. Not sure how secure the place is right now.

We are here and you can not believe the mess unless you see it.
I just hope it gets better.
I can not believe the run schedule.
I now regret having come if the schedule holds true.
The wife reminds me the schedule is always subject to change.
I sure hope it does.

I can believe it,….it is NHRA …..Who in their right mind would schedule a carnival within days of a NATIONAL EVENT ????

WHO is responsible for this ????

My kids tell me it was an Electric Dance Concert (EDC) which attracts over 400,000 attendees and generates more than $152 million in revenue. They not only filled the spectator parking but the entire drag strip, pits and nascar track. Definitely not my thing, but kind of a big deal.

Bruton Smith doesn't give a rat's *** about N.H.R.A. racers, especially sportsman. But the N.H.R.A. should and how dare they schedule a National Event knowing about the circus that is still to be cleaned up. Poor planning on their part.
