What happened to the Keystone Race?

May be an interesting Test Case, of how the program runs and spectator reaction to almost no Sportsman cars. Maybe NHRA has enough time to book in some wheelstanders etc as filler

I think this occurred at the Gators one year where the Sportsmen were shipped off to Orlando, but I can't remember any pushback comments made from Gainesville spectators...did they miss us? I'm sure Dragster wouldn't mention any negativity.

With alcohol and Comp, they may schedule it to cut down time.

I know one year at Columbus on Sunday a father with two young boys came by our trailor and asked where all the cars were, as they had come to watch S & SS....we told them to contact the track or NHRA, but who does that, and would NHRA respond to 1 or 2 complaints?

Just out at state college last weekend in a 32' motorhome class A. Also many diesel pusher s there. Drove thru over a foot of water on rte 83 on the way. Fields are grass there but all access roads and paths are gravel or paved. One motorhome was stuck and that was it. Estimated 400 motorhomes and fifth wheel campers there. Maybe someone from maple grove should go to Penn State and check out their work. This is a ongoing problem,needs to be fixed.
