Jack - I agree - it was a smart call...... And if NHRA could keep tech & the lanes open into early evening on Friday's.... so that forced late-comers like myself could get there and at least get a time run in, I would be all for moving to a Saturday elimation format. But only if Friday could be extended to accomodate late arrivals.

I know Johnny D posted that to some of the people that are on his e-mail list that maybe next year they take a look at Qualifying on Friday & Eliminations on Saturday with Sunday being the rain date / travel day. I think their is some Pro's & Con's of this format, so what does everything think?
I think everything went very smooth and clean at Atco this weekend and Joe and his Staff along with the D-1 guys and Racers should be applauded for their effort. I know Car counts weren't what they normally are at Atco for a D-1 Race. I'm not sure of the total car count (Somewhere around 350 cars) but, they did bust their rear-ends and pumped out a clean race and were done by 6:30 Sat Night. |

That Friday / Saturday deal is not a bad idea. In fact IHRA has been doing it at some division 9 races for 2 years.
I really don't care for it because they take away the saturday night bracket races, but for you Non-bracket racing types it works well. Chip Johnson |
