National Event Detailed Schedule

John DiBartolomeo · 08-11-2009, 03:20 PM

For those of you asking to know the actual detailed class by class schedule at a national event prior to you having to view it at the credential trailer, check this out: Go to nhra.com. Today is Tuesday Aug, 11, go to the event schedule of the Brainerd race on the left side. Scroll down to the bottom and click on Detailed Event Schedule. It'll download a pdf file showing the class by class schedule. Obviously the schedule is subject to change but...

I e-mailed Graham Light this morning asking if something like this could be done. His response was the above. Feeling sort of foolish and out of the loop, I responded that I felt funny not knowing that it wsa there. His response was to not feel funny as he had it uploaded only when I asked. A schedule like this won't be available till probably Monday or Tuesday before an event as the fields aren't set until then, but at least it's there, and it's NHRA's way of responding to a question. Sometimes we all can be too hard on them, (me included at times-and sometimes they deserve it) but this was just a simple thing that one request was all it took to get rectified. It would be nice if we sent some e-mails to Graham Light thanking him for this. Could go a long way...

Thank You John

I appreciate the thanks but I'm not the one who deserves it here. I just asked the question. "They" deserve the thanks for obliging us.

Thanks for the tip and thanks NHRA for providing it.

Today is Tuesday Aug.18, and the detailed schedule is not up yet for Reading. I certainly hope that it wasn't a one time thing just for Brainerd. I would like to print the schedule before I leave for Reading on Thursday morning. Anybody have any info?

Wednesday morning, leaving in a few minutes, still nothing...

John DiBartolomeo · 08-19-2009, 11:55 AM

It's up now 2:00 on Wed. Not trying to stand up for anyone, but I don't think we can expect the schedule to be up at a certain time. I have a feeling it'll be up when it's up. This morning when I teched in there was no schedule at credentials and no one in tech had one either. So... Read into it what you want but I think we should be happy it does gets uploaded at all.

I kept checking the NHRA website every hour or so and I did download the detailed schedule a few minutes ago. As you stated, John, at least it is up and it sure is better than not having it at all.
