Soon to be live from IHRA Mardi Gras Nitro Jam

Ed Wright · 02-18-2011, 07:11 PM

Hope they have a great turnout.

Chad don't let the country dog get you in any trouble.

Chad, thanks for coming and supporting IHRA, wish we had gotten to meet during the weekend but hopefully at the next NitroJam you attend we will be able to get together. Go out and get into Div. 2, there are great guys down there and I'm sure you will enjoy the divisional set-up too. Two races, two days, no time off work unless you want to come in early Friday, it's a great bang for the buck imo. Look out for the Locomotion car, he's kinda dangerous in that division, but so are many many other cars from that division.

Glad to hear you had a good time, at the end of the day, that's what is most important. The fact you have made a point that you would attend more IHRA races is Huge also, thanks again.

Danny and the tech boys had a good problem when there were more cars than expected. They did a heck of a job keeping the schedule on time, it's a total team effort!

I'm so glad the car count was up. Hope some new guys tried it saw that it's a good group of guys to race with.

Congrats to all the winners!

Danny,

I am sure once they attend the IHRA races, they will come back and try it again .... You guys are making a great effort to keep every racer happy , you know that's impossible ... It's great to be treated nice & feel wanted, keep up the good work... They will come around sooner rather than later , it's still early in the season.

You notice no-one is having great turn-outs ? I think the Memphis track will be a Big plus in the mid-central area ... Time will Tell ...

Caps lock key is stuck.

Chad Rhodes · 02-18-2011, 08:04 PM

My impression so far........ Disorganized. An hour and a half to get through tech, then you are caught in the staging lanes with no way out. Finally get out of that and there is no one at the scales, and they are off. Would it kill anyone to turn the screen around and leave the scales turned on. They Said they would be on at 9 AM.

On the positive side, everyone was very friendly and thanked us for being here.

When I was there for a Div race in 2009, the local track personal were not real organized. Nice friendly people, just disorganized like you said.
