Just What We Need!

Spent last two days at the IHRA San Antonio divisional. my partner was driving our car I was just trying to help out. There must have been at least 16 Jr's there, and I actually timed there run procedure. On average it took 2:35 to run a pair. That was from the ready line, firing it up, adjust the carb, checking ever thing until they pulled off the track. I timed SS and S and it took on average of 39 seconds from the ready line, burnout, stage, to turning off the track.

Jr's are great and I love to see kids and parents together and having a good time. I just don't think they belong at a Divisional or National Event. Let them have their own Events just for them and you eliminate all the problems with wait time and traffic issues.

They could have used the time to maybe prep the track for the S/SS racers. Starting line was almost non-existent last two rounds. But....the Jr's hooked up!!
