INDY , 2019 parking fiasco. ...

[Mike Pearson]

NHRA can not control the weather. Maybe they could have done a better job of predicting the weather before hand and had back up plan. One idea would be to reach out to local racers to work as volunteers to assist with parking. Even a few of the early arrivals could help. The track had people there days and weeks before the big race to prep for it. They could have a parking map made up to give to the volunteers to show the different parking areas for each class. Most have golf carts or scooters with them. Then parking could start sooner if bad weather is predicted. I know I would volunteer to do that if I could. Most take more pit area than they need. I usually work off of the back of my trailer. Just need enough room to fit my toter and push out the slide. This is especially important when some of the pit area is not useable or very muddy
