It appears that in all their infinite wisdom NHRA has scheduled both the Tucson and Bakersfield races to be 2 day events. While I am certainly not opposed to 2 day races, I cannot understand why they schedule a 2 day race for Friday and Saturday and not Saturday and Sunday.
Bakersfield, just as it was this year, is schedule for Friday-Saturday and Tucson's Friday-Saturday race follows the Phoenix national and divisional for our third weekend in a row of racing. I hate to miss another day in the office for the third week in a row unnecessarily. I brought this up to Mike Rice earlier this year and he basically blew me off. Am I alone in this thinking? Would you as a racer rather have a Friday-Saturday race than a Saturday-Sunday one?
It seems that it is early enough that if we can get enough people to voice an opinion that we can possibly get this changed to make sense to those of us who have companies to run and money to make. What do you think?
