Parking the motorhomes in a remote place even within the track would more than likely lead to theft and break-ins unless there was security. And NHRA isn't going to pay for that.

Billy is right. I learned, if I ever go back to Chicago, to lock my motor home and trailer when I go up to make a run. Won't go back there, so it won't be an issue. Never caught anybody coming out of my motor home anywhere else. A guy parked across from me ran a guy out of my trailer while I was gone once also. He said "Your not from around here, are you?"

To help with pit space the first thing NHRA should do is limit all Pros to one trailer per car. No more support trailers and restaurants. This would help with the cost for all teams and put them on a more equal playing field.

Great idea, but never gonna happen. And now they are going to bring in the Jet cars, OH BOY!!!!!!!! ---NOT. I am not sure of space at other tracks, but at Pacific Raceways for the Northwest Nationals several of the pros have to park outside the Pro pits. This takes away quite a bit of space from the sportsman racers.

James, can you tell us how you really feel. Lol. Aren't you glad you don't live somewhere like Wyoming where the tracks are all close to each other.

The real problems are Time, Entertainment, $$$$$, TV, Exec. payroll and concern.

As for the Sportsman, where else can you spend four days and nights visiting friends, working on your car, watching the Pros, getting maybe three time trials and then actual racing in your ,say 11 second car. Lets see that is a total of 33 seconds in time trials and 11 seconds of competition, or more if you win the first round. WOW, what a deal, and it only cost you about $300 or more.

I know it sucks traveling from Long island, but last year my closest points race was 320, next closest was 550, 750, 800 and 800 miles. Luckily enough to get one grade point, Nevermind 2 or 3. Don't cast stones for wanting to race at the closest national event to some racers. Look at the entry list, most racers are from the north, d1 and d3.
