Everyone does it ...but as usual its OUT OF F';/./KING HAND..I don't see how someone can get away with this BS.I can show up afull day ahead of a LOCAL..but they can show up when ever they get there and get paved up front space..SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS..We all pay the same money but some racers travel quite far and get to the track early and get F'/;'ed See you folks in the dirt..

Hit that one on the nail!! Nothing like traveling 5 hours and arrive early on Thursday just to park in the sand, while the empty parking lot looks like a Crime Scene with all the tape.

A couple of years ago or so, because of this same issue at this same track we were told by D1 that no one could save more than one spot. When we showed up on Thursday morning, driving to the gate we could see that contrary to the so called new D1 rule it was caution tape city. I asked at the gate why the new rule was not being adhered to? The woman at the gate didn't know anything about it and called track management to ask. She was told that anybody who didn't like it could have their money back and leave! Then later in the day they came around and took a lot of the single spots away from people. So much for caring about the customer.

Hi gang - well its been a very long and trying day and many thanks go out to the boss for opening up for me today .First thing is as most of you know the test n tune was washed out today .The Sun came out many times but not enough to dry the track and grounds out .
Second is the place is packed already even with todays bad forecast everyone showed up .So much for Sportsman racing going dead - at least not here in Division One .Good news ?The weekend is looking terrific - so if you're on the fence start packing and get on the road .

Me ? ? I've got my hands full - sprung a water leak in my fresh water tank somewhere and tomorrow will be full of trying to fix it between racing .

Managed to snap a few photos earlier .....Just enough to keep Kenny happy .

BTW , did manage to get some good eats in tonight thanks to my friends Tommy Goldman and Kathy Purcell who shared ( and cooked ) some of the finest Crab cakes and fried shrimp that I've ever had .

James I am confused, is it F';/ or F'/; or are both correct?

Good Luck!

Good morning - Well blue skies and Sun its not this morning but at least its not raining .The big word this AM is fog and boy oh boy is it thick .As I sit here this morning enjoying some early tea and toast I can see about maybe 40 or fifty yards - there is just that much of it and hopefully in a few hours it'll burn off .

Yesterday the 'volunteers' from NHRA's Division One Certification team were doing house calls getting tech done while it was raining and that will take the rush off this morning - thanks guys ! ! We do notice your efforts and can't thank you enough .

Back in an hour or two ....
