Re: Dallas or Houston
I see the NHRA has extended the pull out date to thursday. word is that you will not go to the track till monday!!! you will be stacked at the Mall till after the pro's pull out.so if that happens you will not be able to park along the side of the return rode and watch the pro's run. that is the word on the street. Sportsmen Racers need to stick together and all pull out. but we all know that will never happen.if Houston had hard pits for the Sportsmen this would not be a problem. NHRA need's to step up and let the Racers know what is there plan. PS thanks to Billy M. for fixing the pits in Dallas. that problem is solved. and Billy does not own a paving co.

Re: Dallas or Houston
please elaborate. Because I insinuated that You have adapt to different circumstances to win? How about Ed insinuating that I'm wrong about everything? If I am, I'll admit it. If we sit in the mud and get screwed over then I'll say I was wrong. But I'm not going to mess up the whole race because there is a chance it might get messed up. When we get the race in and nobody gets stuck in the mud, you wont see anybody saying they were wrong.

Re: Dallas or Houston
Hagen i hope by the grace of god that the sportsmen get to race but we both know that is very foggy with the weather forcast. you my man may have a job where you can sit at the Mall for five days but most of the Sportsmen Racers don't. we both know that if the Sportsmen pit's were hard we would not be talking about it. Word on the street is that the Sportsmen will Race next week. NHRA is not going to park you in the mud!!! NHRA is doing the best they can with what they have to work with it's not there fault. but they need to talk to managment and fix the problem this is to many times with no dry hard pit's for the Sportsmen. and the Track owners are in the rock and paving business!!!

Re: Dallas or Houston
RUMOR HAS IT.....
....that they are bringing in water-proof asphalt, coated with RAIN-X in the sportsman pits. Also, the race will be run 1/8th mile for all sportsman categories to speed up the race. No heads ups, weighing, or fuel check also to cut down on time.

Re: Dallas or Houston
I'm out of racing at this point so I dont have a dog in this hunt this weekend. What I will tell you is two years ago I was at the debacle in Baytown. I wrote a well written(not nasty) letter to the Angels,Royal Purple HQ and NHRA. I did get replies but guess what their not going to to do anything. Its been two years since then. If they were dont you think it would have happened by now. Ashton Hudson and I had this discussion at Pine Valley. We agreed never again to go to Baytown for a national. Oh by the way my son has lived in the Houston area since 2007. It rains every fricken afternoon in the spring time! So if you think it wont rain at all the rest of the week put there your sadly mistaken.

Re: Dallas or Houston
I do hope they wait to run the sportsman till Monday. Im sure they may have a few more racers show up that werent planning on going. I know 4 entries for sure. That would give us non national event winners another chance to race like the traditonal national winners. Im guessing NHRA offers 24 National events incase races like this happens. Just because the asphalt is dry doesnt mean the grass will be. If you really think they will park S/SS on the asphalt before ALCHOLO, COMP, TS, or TD you are kidding yourself. Houston doesnt have that much pavement guys, be real. S/SS will be the last guys on the pavement.
