Re: 20 super stockers entered at Denver
I used to attend the national event at Denver when NHRA had the points meet in Douglas prior to Denver. 2000 mile round trip from Mpls. to Denver for one race is to much. Back then there was room on the blacktop for sportsman racers, now they put all of us in the dirt/broken blacktop 1 mile from the staging area. If I was local I would go, but not now.

Re: 20 super stockers entered at Denver
Went to Denver in 2012 and was pitted so far from the staging lanes that I had to use my GPS and MapQuest to find them...........
I was pitted in the rock and ruble past the end of the shut out area and even got caught in a dust-devil that filled my car with trash while driving back to my pit spot...... Still had and a good time trying to make a car perform at more than 10,000 foot corrected DA..... The best part of the trip was racing at Douglas, WY which is nice mom & pop type of drag strip.....The strip manager even made my reservations for me.......Nice track with nice people....Even had some good racing Bob PS: It was only a 1500 mile tow over the Rockies, each way, from Gilroy, CA by myself.... PSS: I would do it again in a heartbeat... Bob

You were long retired from drag racing in 2012, weren't you?
