I know this saying is old ---------BUT ISN'T THIS THEIR JOB ? I mean if the car passed fuel check each time and then fails wouldn't it send up a red flag. I guess it is at the discretion of the official. WHAT A FEELING OF POWER !

I wonder what type of draw ( attendance ) the NHRA had at Route 66 this weekend. Watched the last hour on ESPN 3 and the stands were pretty empty before they ran the finals so it most certainly does not reflect on just S/SS. I guess nobody really cares who wins but go to see who crashes and burns.

I thought I heard them say on the TV broadcast that there was a sizable rain delay between the semis and finals today,,,,, that could be the reason for no fans hanging around.
