Which pts meet would you delete?

[Dick Butler]

Having one more meet than counted towards points always seemed Great. Could run your own div and still shoot for points lead. Having two for one race seemed as good idea also.
Delete one race? Maybe if you had a dump track or 1000 mile tow but otherwise be happy there are lots of races to enjoy.

During the early Spring and Fall months there are just way too many racers entered, the weather is great, the track is superior, its not dusty enough on the pit roads, and because of the weather you have to wear long sleeve shirts and jackets and sometimes its down right cold (30-40 degrees if you can believe it), your car will run way too fast, people even have open fires and sit around drinking beer until way too late at night and you have way too much fun, which can lead to oversleeping and running late the next morning.

Makes more sense to me to have them in June, July and August ?????

Sure makes sense to me......

I've said it a million times no races in July and August in D4. I have sent emails to IHRA and NHRA directors in D4 about this and it falls on deaf ears. Been doing it for 6 years now. Example Crandall race in May was rescheduled. I told Frank DO NOT have this race in July or August. I said it's to damn hot and numbers will be way down. Well guess what the race was in mid July and it was 106 outside. Makes sense to me.........

Ed, looks to me like we have July & August off in Div 4. Normally do.

I was a little disappointed that the Houston #2 Divisional was scheduled for Sept, until I read that the Record High for Sept in Houston was a balmy 108 in 2000. The Humidity was only 82%, but you can't have everything all the time!
But all is not lost even if the average Sept temp is only 94 degrees. Brrrrr! better bring the long handles.

LMAO! A little further north for that race would have been nicer.

I could be wrong but I love the heat. I was at Randall and yes it was hot but my gauges never went over 100. Just saying. If you live where we do how and the hell do you b***** about the heat. Just saying

You're in the A/C business. Of course you like the heat.

[RJ Sledge]

Well said Chad.

Yeah Bobby, thats why you keep your thermostat on 60 degrees in your coach. Cimo tells me you could hang meat in that thing!

Course if your going into the late rounds one needs to stay cool......just saying. LOL

RJ,
I noticed you got up early for that west Texas sunrise. Did you enjoy that "Cool" 77 degrees and 80 % humidity? OH! You just wanted to get an early start on that forecast 102 degree high today!!
Did you see where those guys racing at Stanton MI. complained about track conditions. Well, no wonder 74 degree high temp was pert-near blizzard conditions. OH! what some will endure to enjoy a race....
