I see the logic, but sure am glad we didn't run both -- we know someone who was and they were really humpin'...

I dunno, I guess I understand what NHRA was trying to do. I just wish they communicated it better. As I said to Alan, they know the Sonoma run order today -- so post it on the internet.

The schedule was a good idea on paper but it took longer to run. They were taking more brakes waiting for racers then they should have. All they needed to do with the evening is go s/st s/g s/c the one extra class would allow for the program to go smoother and stll be fast paced. It would acomplish the same goal because s/st drivers aren't allowed to race 2 classes.

The The Stock and Super Stock guys could have had their three rounds with comp in between the pro sessions. That would allow for those cars to cool off. We run a dragster and our car was warm enough I felt bad for any of the guys that had to race heads up!

Hey at leaset it sounded as if it was an attempt to be better to the racers but just needs tweaked.
