-and the facility has to be "fast".
-but the facility has to be easy to get to from the highway.

•it has to be a weekend that you can loop it with another race.
-but it can't be too close to other races because then it’s too many in a row
-and it can’t be too early in the season because no one is ready
-but then it can’t be too late because then everyone has encountered problems
-but then it can’t be in the middle because there’s too many races
-and it can’t be this weekend or that weekend because it’s my nephews bar mitzvah

•it has to be a weekend with a good forecast.
-but then it can’t be too hot because then it’s too hot
-and then it can’t have a 1% chance of rain because then people don’t want to sit in the rain
-but then it can’t have a head wind because then the cars go slow
-and then it can’t be too sunny because then it’s too hot

•it has to be a reasonable entry fee for reasonable pay.
-but then it can’t cost too much because a lot of racers are on a budget
-and it can’t cost too little because then it’s not worth the wear and tear
(basically, it needs to be $15 to enter and $15,000 to win)

•it has to be on the weekend because people can’t take off work.
-but then it can’t start friday because people have work
-and then it can’t start early saturday because people don’t want to drive through the night friday after work to get there
-but then it can’t end late sunday because people have work monday

with all due respect and no offense, there is nothing anyone can do to please the stk/ss community. You all deserve nhra and the **** they put you through.
$350 or $200 to enter
$100 for your wife
3–4-day long events
1 race
but a wally!

See "ya'll" at gainesville!



nailed it!!!!!!!
