I think I will spend my entertainment dollars elsewhere that weekend.

Mike,


I am not sure I understand the logic here. You will get the same amount of time runs and the purse will remain the same. Will not running Friday save NHRA a little bit of money? Yes, I'm sure it will. But it will also save a lot of the working class racers money because it is one more day they can stay home and work, and one less night in a hotel.


I personally think that supporting all of these events is important. You not showing up because you do not get to "hang out" at the track for that extra day does nothing to help our sport. I believe the majority appreciates the condensed schedule especially because we end up with the same amount of runs. I also believe we need to get used to it as this is the first of 4 divisionals here in division 7 that will be two day races. Sonoma is also going to a two day schedule with a test n tune on Friday and the Salt Lake Divisional is two, two day divisionals combined.


Thanks,
Justin Lamb
