Mile High Nationals

[Tom Meyer]

Put the spectators in the back 40 and let the racers pit down below like they used to. Face it the Mile highs will never be the same, they just do not care about the sportsman racers anymore. I can remember back in the 90s they almost had a 100 SS cars and almost that many stockers , times have changed and not for the better. Its bad when even the locals will not race this event. I will also add the fact that other than the tower there is not a place to wash your hands, no showers and has nothing but porta podies. Look at what Topeka has or Brainard has for there racers and have had for a lot of years. Tom

fair points Tom. do you think NHRA racing will
ever be the same anywhere ? national events
rarely fill quota's any where anymore. Stock and SS seem
to have little interest with younger racers esp. in addition
to many other reasons for suffering participation. div. 4
used to be huge, dallas, houston. not so much anymore.

This race also used to run Class eliminations and pay contingency. I'm sure the "manufacturers" that wanted the change to the system around class contingencies are benefitting from the exposure there products get and product sales with fewer racers going to events like this one.

IMHO - I think it is a lot simpler than that

I went once - it was 90 degrees and the density altitude was over 10,000 feet

Who wants to run a second slower?

It turned out to be a dual purpose trip - the first and last time - all at once

I don't care how they would treat me - I won't go back

Ron, you left out the part that it is an almost 1400 miles one way tow for you
to get here.

Complain as much as you want about the racetrack and the event,most likely 5 rounds to win a Nat`l Event looks pretty good to me.

A Mopar sponsored race and no Mopars entered in Super Stock
