Well that explains everything....I see Mr. Ortiz made the race...which means he probably brought the rain....so now you can blame someone.

Those pictures look familiar. Any chance of them hauling in some gravel for the pit roads or are they just going to wait for it to dry?

Jeff Teuton knew it was going to be bad and didn't tell anybody. LOL

Ken.....being positive is good......but that run schedule says a lot. Mostly what it says to me is Sportsman racers in general are not viewed as being part of NHRA's show.

It's been said over and over again......spectators don't buy tickets to see any sportsman categories run....and NHRA agrees......We are expendable and can be manipulated to suit their needs.....I love racing, and realize they have a tough time here......BUT........
