Pits At Drag Strips

[Ed Fernandez]

Some of you guys are like whinny little women. Look in the pits at any event ( even bracket events) and all you see are MH's, toter homes, living qtr. trailers. The guys who have boxes all go any stay in motels. Take this from someone who started out flat towing
(14 yrs.). Graduated to an open trailer and when I started racing Stock I stayed in a TENT for 3 years. Got an enclosed in 2003 and made it into a comfy LQ ( car stayed outside under a car cover (tarped over in rainy weather) till I pulled the plug in 2010. So yeah, cry me a river about accomodations.

I'm late to the party. Started driving my bracket Mustang to the track TOWING a home built teardrop trailer (the set-up in my avatar) in 2015. Did this for two years before buying a real truck and open trailer. Will be going into my second year of sleeping in a TENT and waking up boxed in by toy haulers and MHs with people asking if I slept in that thing...

I'm 70, by the way. Or BTW, depending on what language you speak.

LOL, one of the tracks I bracket race at has oil mat lane running between dirt pit spaces, the best part is there is one porta toilet, with no back wall in it, from the toilet seat up. AND, the back of the porta john is facing, and only about two hundred feet from the road into the local airport. everybody is friendly, as you are standing there, they all honk and wave as they go by on the road. Also, lots of room for your doggy to do his thing as well.

I didn't see anyone crying about accommodations.

Not sure what this thread has to do with whether or not you like to sleep in tents, pickup beds, on roof racks or whatever.

Don uses a crew cab and a tag trailer and stays in motels.
I believe he was commenting on the physical conditions of the pits where NHRA runs its national and divisional events.

I use a modest Class C motorhome, but in my way of thinking, for what NHRA charges for a nat'l, you shouldn't have to steam clean the the carpets of your m/h after one of their events.
