Default Las Vegas schedule and live timeing

So pros are done and so is NHRA live timing with many sportsman classes still not making a pass today but they ran several summit etc. classes including motorcycle and electric vehicles nostalgia funny car ect. The circus is in full form. what a show of disrespect to the racers by NHRA DISCUSTING.

That is exactly why I am done with this dog and pony show. Local track bracket program, more runs and more fun. If I want to sit around BBQ and drink for 3 days I can do it cheaper at the lake and more fun. Will hit a few Pts races and National opens next year but that's it.

Does Vegas have a curfew ? Why didn't they just go into the night and get the sportsman done ?

Don’t find fault with NHRA shutting it down, it’ll be interesting to see if they rerun the pairs that got thrown out there in poor conditions. Was interesting however to read how they jerked around the Factory X cars (all four of them) while desperately clinging to the hope the Pro Finals would be run in the FS1 prime time slot, which of course they didn’t make since Fox threw them over to FS2 to make room for soccer. FS is such a joke anyway, hiring Urban Meyer as a college football commentator, gimme a break.

On NHRA’s plus side, looks like they’ll provide coverage of today’s racing on NHRA.TV, maybe Warren convinced them to do the right thing.

PS, not that class racers care but putting Jeggie in the PS field to block and/or throw a race is pure BS. Hope Greg pulls a rabbit out of the hat in Pomona.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but Hartford pushed the clutch in at 1000ft against Greg in the Semi's. How is that any different?

Ericia was .014 to Jeggie .018 She was quicker to half track no way could Jeggie have won that race. If it was preplanned no way they would have both drilled the tree.
