INDY , 2019 parking fiasco. ...

[4543]

I think people should quit guessing what the problem was with parking at Indy. It was a joke. The SRAC Reps from every division and every class should address this with a united effort. While NHRA can’t control the weather everyone could see the forecast and they could have adapted to the situation by parking people as they arrived. Parking earlier would have allowed an earlier start on the first day which might have meant an earlier finish on Sunday.

The core issue to this disgrace is to minimize expenses, whether it's insurance, personnel or other. It's not poor planning or management, they know exactly what they're doing, it's expenses.
At the biggest drag racing event of the year this is unconscionable. Every sportsman classed contestant should contact the following to voice their disappointment;

Peter Clifford Chief Executive Officer
Glen Cromwell President
Kasey Coler Vice President -Track Management & Operations

I know they couldn't control the weather, but poor planning is inexusable. I was one of the last ones in and around 11am one of the NHRA officials came down to the holding lot and told us, "I don't know where we're going to put you but we're working on a plan". That in my mind was inexusable not to have a Plan A, B, C, etc ready and waiting for all scenarios at the biggest race of the year.


I also found it frustrating, when being parked, to pass numerous racers that had 3, 4 and in a couple scenarios, 5 spots saved for folks that weren't there yet, and remember, this was 2:00ish on Wednesday when I was getting parked.

The core problem is "THEY DO NOT GIVE A POOP" !

The core problem is that THEY who DO NOT GIVE A POOP know that there's almost no chance what-so-ever that Sportsmen Racers will stick together and do whatever is necessary to accomplish positive (for Sportsmen Racers) change.

President Trump says he doesn`t blame China for taking advantage of us...maybe there is something to be learned.
