Stanton is Pathetic!

The guys I spoke to shared the same thought as Webb, the Stanton race suffered due to schedule overload. Norwalk,Joliet,Joliet,Stanton,Norwalk,StLouis,Indy all in a row is pretty tough to swallow. The Ledfords put a lot of investment resurfacing and grinding the entire track just for us, and seeing 27 SST,44 SG and 44 SC was sad. If the participation was higher maybe they would fix the top end as well, but there was a TD there dialed 6.60 and going rounds so he was fine with it. What do you guys think, maybe make this a mid-May race before Norwalk, or a later Sept race after Indy? Maybe NHRA should look into adding a division 8 out west, tighten up D5 and create a new championship race, since many new midwest tracks have joined NHRA? Have fun at Norwalk this weekend, it will be cool to see it on ESPN! Should be wild!
