Rain

With the exception of track cleanup and safety, maybe NHRA should just get
out of drag racing and leave it to IHRA and Goodguys.

It's just such a circus politically and at the track. We all know the
issues.

However, the multicar teams don't bother me as much as the Powerade and Army
circus arenas.

And, I think *ALL* nitro teams should have to set up their pits the way the
Worsham's have for years. Now *THATS* spectator friendly.

NASCAR / BUSH has had several mid week night races in the past few months on
FOX, mostly on Wednesday or Thursday.

Trucks race on thursday night...maybe twice a year ....
Bush race on friday night a couple times year......
Cup race on saturday night ...couple times a year...

and they do it in the middle of the summer went it is too hot to race during
the day......So how does that help for Fall racing??

As a drag racing fan, not a stock car fan, I don't know the diff between
NASCAR/BUSH nor do I have any interest, all I knew was they were racing on
an oval, and not a drag strip on a weekday, my mistake for calling it
NASCAR racing. Least wise it wasn't raining...

I understand your frustration. What I do NOT understand is how you, the
NHRA, or anyone else will be able to (a) explain the concept of days of
the week to weather patterns and fronts, and (b) convince them to adhere
to a schedule made by man.

Maybe NHRA needs to pick some other days of the week to race on. The
last few years have been a royal pain in the *ss to those of us who
travel a lot of miles to the races, and I'm sure the crews and owners
don't enjoy it either. NASCAR seems to do well with mid week races. Just
my 2 cents worth.

Either way, good riddance to the colombus track. . .seems way too
problematic that last few years. . .

I don't know that changing the days of the week will make a differnce;
however, it may have been better to go on and run qualifying this past
Sunday and eliminations on Monday, rather than send everyone home
Saturday afternoon and bring them back this Friday. It seems like an
awful lot of travel for the teams.

I was fortunate, because I live about 50 miles away and kept up with
track conditions, so I never even went to the track. It would have
been nice to be watching final eliminations right now!!

I hate it when reality and details get in the way of trying to make a
point. Serenity NOW!
