Hey Rob the last two years I went (2018, 2019) we parked in the triangle and it wasn’t far at all. Actually it was pretty good. Tex on 2018 was parked pretty far away, I thought the golf cart was gonna loose the track radio station when I’d go out to visit him lol call ya tonight

Good afternoon all, rigs a slowly rolling in and the pits are starting to fill up. It will be very interesting to see how many cars show up for the Division race. Its another warm day... mid 80's, a little windy with clouds and sun. The local weather forecast for this week looks pretty good except for Saturday. A 40% chance of rain is predicted. How it will effect the pros testing on Sunday is anybody's guess.

Does everyone get to keep their pit spot or will some have to move when the pros and other classes come to town ?

The Pros get top billing on the pavement parking so the cars on their
now will have to move. Usually the cars Not entered for the Nationals
get to park on the pavement.

Hey guys, testing has been going on for quite awhile, the track looks good. No starting line issues that I could see. Its warm again, 85, partly cloudy. A few shots from todays action.

Ken,
I think you have stolen my job. I was planning on coming this week, but a little medical issue (C) stopped me for now. Hope to see you at Zmax.

Hey Butch, I'll miss you... is nice to get help for sure, feel better.

We are done testing for the day. I was looking for this weeks schedule, and for the life of me its no where to be found on the NHRA web sites. I hate to bitch, but when you are in the IT game like me, redundancy is a must. Having links to information in multiple places is webmaster 101.

Anyway, I did find it on the D2 facebook page 10 posts down from the 15th of February... as I am typing they have posted tomorrow schedule... here is the link.

Below is the schedule for the rest of the race I think... It could change and probably will.
