Vegas National reflection

ChevyII · 04-15-2008, 07:15 PM

After returning home from Vegas and viewing the national event as a spectator, I had to get a few things off my chest.

A terrible car count; what seemed like an eternity of downtime; a one lane race track and what is up with the fuel crew chiefs and team members holding up the show by constantly parading up and down the race track!!!!! All those yahoos walking up and down the racetrack and tracking whatever crap they pulled up with their shoes. No wonder the track was tractionless! A total GONG show.

I would hate to see what a "newbie" spectator attending their first event would have thought...I guess more time to go for your $6 beer or $8 mixed drink. Ridiculous!!!!

The pits were empty. Comp was down from 45 cars to 23 cars registered from last year. I know the high diesel fuel prices and the state of the economy is shaping where people are going to spend their hard earned $$$ but if I were thinking about attending another NHRA national event, I would say "NOT!" I will stick with racing at divisionals.

I couldn't believe that fans were actually leaving their seats when the Pro stock cars came out to run.

I have been to well over 75 national events as a fan and as a competitor and this event had to be one of the worst I have ever attended. It was so bad we left the track on Saturday at 1:30 p.m. and we are die hard drag racers.

NHRA you might want to ask a few racers and spectators what people really think of your show and allow people to be brutally honest! Oh, but I forgot this is the NHRA.

If you do you might get your **** spanked.

A concerned NHRA member.
