"Live" from Indy 2024. 70th US Nationals

Thank you, gents for sending that! I see it just came out late today.
One would think at the biggest race of the year, where action starts Wednesday morning, they would post a run schedule a tad earlier.

Not to pile on, and as you all know, I am not an NHRA basher, and regularly stick up for them on this forum, but I have to say closing the Indy gates at 18:00 on a Monday and Tuesday on an event of this caliber when racing starts Wednesday morning first thing is pretty disappointing. You have people coming from all over the country, and a lot of us, still have a real day job. You can't keep one or two minimum-wage gate attendants there until, say 9 pm, at least on Tuesday night for crying out loud!

Rant over
