Anyway, I don't like to let parking issues ruin my racing experience, so I will move on. The weather looks like its going to be the main issue for this race, lets hope there is a window to get it done.

I'm surprised that there is not much talk about the car count here, is it fuel prices or just the weather?

I sat through the bad weather at the Gatornationals and had to finally withdraw due to the race being postponed to Monday. I had to be back to work on Monday morning. At a minimum NHRA should postpone the sportsman portion of the program early on to another weekend date if the weather forecast is that bleak. Fuel and time is way to expensive these days..

I'm sure Ken will have more but, from what I have seen online looks like the everyone will get 2 time runs and 1st round tomorrow. With the low car counts you'll have less then 20 cars left going into Saturday and should be an easy fix to be able to knock at least 2 -3 rounds out Saturday and get down to the final 4 on Sunday but, either way if Saturday is a wash they could run that little amount after the Pros are done on Sunday and not have to hang till Monday.

After R1
Stock - 17
SC - 14
SS - 17
SG - 15
TD - 5
Comp - 7

Here is the updated schedule for tomorrow... who knows what will happen. I am rethinking my race schedule for this season, there comes a point where you just have to say enough is enough. Staying close to home seems like the logical choice for the near future.
