The only way things get better is to have a civil discussion about issues we have.

The Media department only follows the the rules there are given, harassing them does not help. In hindsight, I should have never posted about the issue. The NHRA media staff has always been good to me, and although I did not understand why the issue came up, I respected it. Again please don't take the path of disrespect and harassment towards the media staff, they are workers not the policy makers.

Ken,

I sent an email but I simply said I thought it was a bad decision by Nhra. I also said I think they should think a little bit more about the sportsman racer. These issues always come from the top not the people we talk to.

2010 Gators was just like this. Parked Wed pm, rained for 2 days straight, and part of Saturday. We got 1 run at I think 7am Sun morning. Then we had to wait until the Pros ran the final rounds, so we were completely done until Sun afternoon, and they called us for 1st rd, about an hr earlier. I lost 1rd on a dbl break out, and broke out again trying to get out of Fla., as fast as I could.
I hope the best for y’all, there.

Its all good Ed, thanks for the support. I talked to all involved and we are okay.


Its still raining, God knows what tomorrow will bring.

Even if the weather is better tomorrow, many racers can not get their cars out of the trailer or out of their pit area because of the water and mud. In over 45 years of racing, this is the worst I have ever seen. The number of people pulling out tomorrow will be big, IF they can get out of the area they are parked. Last week was perfect, how the weather can change things !

Good morning all, yes it is still raining. It stopped about midnight, but at around 5am it started again. The rain was heavy for about 2 hours, maybe more. Its lightened up a little, but the pits are a mess. The rain is supposed to stop in a few hours, but the winds are picking up and temps will start to drop.

Who knows what the schedule will be today... here is what it look like yesterday, I'm afraid to look outside now.

I'm sorry I posted the contact information because a few (or more) idiots harassed someone just doing her job. Obviously some people don't know how to behave.

No worries Frank, its all good now.

It's the rainiest Gatornationals I've ever experienced but we found a bit of good weather Thursday evening and we just couldn't help ourselves. Call it Thursday Happy Hour if you will. We even interrupt a Fletcher dog walk but their 3 week old baby was just too adorable not to get on video. Triple Crown Barrett stops in on the fun while myself, Evan Smith, and Ken Miele of classracer.com along with a bunch of friends discuss the DragInsights app in a little more depth and go through various features that can help sportsman racers take their programs to the next level. We also discuss the weekend's Power Rankings which is a new feature we have been putting out. "Yo Ken" also talks about the upcoming Class Racer Nationals!
