Live from the NHRA Gatornationals

This is what scares me about attending a national event. You guy's got to an event on Monday that was supposed to start on Thursday. Now it's Saturday and you haven't been down the track once! You may not get to down the track util tomorrow and then run over into Monday! Who can do this type of racing? I can only see three groups of people, independently wealthy, retired, or "professional" sportsman. How can anyone with a "normal" job race like this? How can you leave your job or business for 8 days in a row. Say you get one qualifying shot and then directly into first round and lose. You spend 8 days and thousands of dollars for 2 passes. I am not blaming anyone or trying to incite negative feedback. When I look to what type of racing I want to do these scenarios make national events seem very risky.
