Cutting Racer cost to attend NHRA meets - Page 2

Dick Butler · 04-16-2008, 09:36 AM

Guys, I suggested the possibility of limiting the field to only 1/2 the usual classes for one event. That would allow efficient running twice with no added time needed. Then next event location run the other 1/2 of the classes twice. Indy S , SS, Comp and T/S alcohol funny or Dragster, then Columbus or where ever run the S/G, S/C , S/St group with two eliminators at the one race.. Same deal
Like I said the BIG issue is missing the friends from other classes at the meet.
Positive is Less trailers, possibly better driving second race,
I in no way would support extending the racing later at night. This is supposed to be fun not punishment. I have run or been family support to 4 in the morning at a rain delay and once left when I was to 8 cars in a points meet to drive the 8 hr trip home to work at 7 AM showering going down the road. THAT REALLY SUCKS.
