Baton Rouge IHRA race

Who rescheduled this race? We have no races in May except for the national in Atlanta! Seems pretty silly to have all this races 4-5 weeks in a row.

Pro's and Con's.You leave No Problem track. You drive to Baton Rouge which you have to drive pass to go home. You leave your rig. Then come back. NHRA /IHRA 3 races in give or take 10 days same amount of fuel. Then home 200 miles to Dallas and then 227 miles to Houston. 5 races in a short time. Maybe 6 if you go to San Antonio first and then to No Problem. Then off till June. And???? Just saying.

You also have to keep in mind that race tracks have other events scheduled too. So, there may have not been many weekends to choose from. It is a lot in a row, but it does make geographical sense being close to No Problem's points race. I rather race in April if the alternative was the 90+ heat in July or August. It's not always an easy task scheduling, and you can't please everybody.

Cooter may we borrow a car to drive home and give back in Baton Rouge.
