Boy, I don't know. Personal injury? Fire that spreads due to close proximity of rigs? Accidents; they shouldn't happen, but they happen.

I understand that stacking is a service that could be provided by the track if they have the space to do so. I understand why NHRA wouldn't want racers inside the gate before they take control of the admittance process.

I've only been to the St Louis track once, but I don't recall a large field that would be conducive to stacking; only a long, narrow road outside the gate. It may not be an area of town where you would want to leave your pride and joy unattended to go eat BBQ. This is more a corporate holding than a mom and pop joint working hard to please the customer.

If other tracks are willing to make accommodations to earn the business of Larry and others, that's a good thing!

So how many S/SS racers will be in St Louis?

All of these stacking rules came about due to local racers, at each event, would come in and park their rigs on the Sunday or Monday before the event. While the stacking schedule may be inconvenient for some, it does make it fair for all. Denver has done it this way for a couple of years now, and it seems to work. Vegas also.

Tony, as for St Louis ...they have a newly paved road , 3 or 4 lanes wide, that runs the entire length of the property and that's well over 1/2 mile. also that's not counting the 1/4 mile of single lane the goes to the entrance of the circle track.
I've been the #1 dummy in line there more than once. like last year......

AS every business or non-profit business should know the best business plan is to adhere to their customers desires period. It is not a person or business to decide or dispute any reason why a customer needs are not met regardless of how ridiculous they are Just common Business sense and they should care and know what type of business customers desires are and wants and should always be taken care of and most of the time the issue can be solved in a fashion that actually enhances the business and image to further the bottom line all it takes by the business is common sense and a concern!( sometimes I just repeat my self to make a point lol at me)

[QUOTE=Nmbr1GMfan;598207]Honestly, if this were one complaint about parking, that's exactly what it would be... 1 complaint, however it isn't. Every single one of these NHRA traveling road shows is a parking issue and it just makes sense to roll on to the next race rather than drive home just to turn around and leave,


I wish I had this problem! Lol.

Whatever the rules are we try to follow and abide them, it is NHRA's ball, bat, and glove. And we enjoy playing the game. We will loose the two days of sightseeing that we had planed in St.Louis. Adjusting our schedule to the east coast is unexpected but should be a fun time
