Live from the NHRA Gatornationals

[Brian VP]

Well said Jack. Running NHRA National Events isn't for everyone. Because of the cost and the time only a select few are truly able to do it. There is nothing wrong with that. That is one reason why bracket racing has become so popular. It is one day, most people live within half an hour or so from a track, and the entries are normally quite reasonable. But that really isn't for me. I have done that and I will do what I can to make sure that I race the races that I can along the NHRA circuit. Nowadays with the economy the way that it is that means that I have to pick and choose a little more than I did a few years ago and that is fine. I realize that when I go to a National Event I have no idea how long it will be til I run or if I ever will run, but the people and the experiences are always there and that is why I love it. NHRA can't control what is going on in Gainesville and honestly, by not running the sportsman until possibly tomorrow may be the best for all involved. The pits there can't take that much rain and people moving there cars around on it just makes it worse. If they wait for them to dry a little it makes life a whole lot easier on everyone. Anyone who knows the history of the Gator's knows when you enter the race that there is a pretty good chance that you may have to race on Monday. Unfortunately that is just a chance that we all take. Well I have rambled on enough. Thanks for listening.
