I had a Bad Radiator Cap..I think its possible to do a 2 day thing.Car count or not.
If any thing car counts look to be declining all over the country.
Come on now I Dont want to race at night.How about in the heat of the summer.90 plus degrees Track Sucks!!!.Also you get a time run the day you race.Not 12 hours later.tell me you don't like that
Its just a suggestion..I dont care what 2 days I just think a divsional Is not a National Event.

I think it was a great decision to run everything on saturday.

I also thought Bruce's suggestion wasn't bad.... sat and sun would make sense so no one would have to miss work on friday (maybe just monday)..... BUT that is going back to what we had years ago. Time trials were on saturday and elims were on sunday. Then what happened ----- tracks started "test and tunes" on fridays. IF weather played a role in saturdays time trials, you wished you were there on friday (like everyone else that was there on friday). It ends up being a three day race anyway.

fred prov. Thanks for the video. I don't get to see my car that often, seeing I am in it. Gary

I agree with you James, a divisional is not a National event.

90 degrees doesn't mean diddly to me - Bowling Green is one of my favorite races. But running at night does change things. nhra decided that running at night was not the best way to race - that is why they use the current format. They should stick with it unless they want a bunch of cars on their roofs.

Gary, you're welcome. I took mostly photos but for a couple runs I decided to try out the video mode on my camera. I need to work on keeping the camera steady. You have a nice and very quick H stock Camaro. I know that it takes a lot of work and time to build one that runs more than a seccond under the index. Good luck to you this racing season!
