Jon Asher's column on Competitionplus

Watching the Vegas race on TV, I was totally disappointed that NHRA didn't shut down the track as soon as the first couple of cars in Pro category went down the track. The right lane totally sucked and it's not far for a pro racer to have to deal with the other competition beating him, but the track just not giving him a fair chance at racing against his opponets is absurd. For the Pro's, it's a living, NHRA should have stepped up to the plate and reprepaired the track so that they could rerun the first cars out. As long as NHRA is collecting their entry fees and spectator tickets, they could give a crap less on what happens on the track.
Thank God that I don't race for a living!

Let's face it, we all know what 99% of the NHRA track prep problem is.
I can sum it up in two words.
Rick Stewart.
That lazy pompus camera hawking clown wouldn't know how to prep a drag strip if someone gave him lessons.
Just try and approach him during any sportsman track time and get him to do something about the bald spots. He'll just point and tell you to get back behind the line.
Ask Red Floyd why he won't work for Rick Stewart anymore and Red is the best NHRA has.
