Preserving History & Charlotte

It was a good call. A better call would have been to eliminate one round of pro qualifying and start the sportsman elimination rounds earlier. Racing from 6 am to midnight is not reallly a safe thing to do. I know I would not have been any good in the late rounds if I was luck enough to get there. Everyone should share in the issues when it comes to inclement weather. I don’t know why the pros need 4 Q rounds for a 4 round race.

Maybe the NHRA "executives" should find a way to support the legacy of the sport. Wally Parks is rolling in his grave.

You have to remember the Pro’s get extra points during each session.
So a few extra points here n there could in fact effect your point total.
If they only have 3 qualifiers than make it 3 All year long.
Kinda hard to do it in the countdown.

No, but the sportsman racer needs to be self-aware of our place in the food chain. It would be amazing that it isn't 100% clear to any of them in October 2019.

If the weather is good on Saturday, a LOT of spectators are going to be angry that they only got one nitro Q session when there were two on the schedule.

That they got bonus sportsman racing isn't smoothing it over.
