Looks like it was part of the COVID delay - next year's dates are nowhere near any national events. I'm sure there wasn't much NHRA could have done.

I am old.

I just though it was a 4 day meet like Pomona - which we are going to .. maybe our first 8 second run.

Never hope or wish for anything

Just do it.

Counting on Philip Mandella.

I sure will Floyd!

A bit of a cluster but I'm parked. They took us up the back side of the track up and around the end of the track. Then back down the return road. Well they did that for the first 191 rigs. I was 192 go figure. Myself leading 30 other rigs had to turn around because the track was going hot. Basically the E.T. cars were going to make their time trial runs. We all ended up in the staging lanes. After a 45 minute wait there I was the first car to get parked from that spot. The place is full because for some reason about 150 parking spots are block off and the pros take up their normal area.

They are still removing the carnival cluster taking up the spectator parking area. All that I can say is the staff are not carrying smiles on their faces. There was at least 100 motorhomes in a line being parked on the north side to spectate and enjoy the nice weather we will be having.

I just watched live timing for first round of stock. Brian Mcclanahan, Hoven and Wann all in AA, sure wish they were running Class! Realize it’s an altitude track but the more live timing I watch the more impressed I am by the 60’ times for Larry Hill and Jim Marshall.
