As for the first round... whatever you want to call it. I don;t know who finally realized the atrocity of going right to first round, but whoever got it changed to at least give us a time run... THANK YOU.

We're done for the day .Why ? Yep, its raining again .Stock and S/S will get a qualifier tomorrow at 9 AM .

Well, at least the loyal paying spectator was rewarded with ONE FULL ROUND of outstanding Pro qualifying, so all tickets are validated. Thank you for your patronage, and please come back again soon. That will be $50 please...

Agree as a spectator. Looking at drc, there were some really great runs in funny car and dragster. LOL

Heard announcer say something over the AUDIOCAST live that spectator stubs to be held onto for credit. Did not get all details, but sounded like they were trying to do the right thing

And they say you do not have a sense of humor - that is funny right there.

I think the fans are getting the short end here! Gonna certainly keep a lot from coming back or at least buying any tickets ahead of time! Friday tickets credited towards Sat. since you came here and didn't see anything. Oh but you have to pay the difference though!! Now you got to see a couple Top Fuel dragsters and funny cars go 1,000 ft and the Pro Stock cars and motorcycles take 1 lap. That was worth $50 to $65? They should have offered anyone with a Fri/Sat ticket a 1/2 price entry on Sunday!!!!
I was just at NHMS last weekend and the track offered Friday all day practice and Cup Knockout Qualifying, Sat. 250 lap NCWT Race, 100 lap Whelen asphalt modified Race, & 50 lap American Canadian Tour Race. Sun. 300 lap Sprint Cup Race Reserved.Start/Finish line seat. AND a FanVision combo Video and Scanner with Headset for the entire weekend, all for $99 !! Now that's how you fill the grandstands and keep them coming back!
As a 20+ year racer, I kinda know what we're biting off when we enter these races! No sense bitching, we know weather is not under anyone's control! You just have to hope they are fair to us as competitors! My 25 cents :-)
